Russian and Soviet Battleships is the definitive English language
overview of Russian and Soviet battleships, from the ironclad Petr
Velikii of 1869 to Stalin's final projects. Meticulously
researched, this work describes and illustrates the design
histories, technical details, characteristics, and service
histories of the forty seagoing battleships that served in the
Russian and Soviet Navies. This is the first book about Russian
battleships to draw from Russian language materials, including
books and articles published since the collapse of the Soviet
Union. Some one hundred drawings of ships and design studies, many
specially commissioned for this book, are showcased, as well as one
hundred photographs, many of them never published in the west. The
author, Stephen McLaughlin, analyzes all aspects of battleship
design, from the policy decisions behind their construction to
details of fire control and gunnery. He evaluates their strengths
and weaknesses compared with foreign contemporaries. In addition,
McLaughlin outlines numerous projected battleships and conjectural
studies. As he examines the active--and often tragic--careers of
these ships, he reassesses many of the myths and misconceptions
associated with Russian ships and the Russian navy.
Future generations of wireless networks will place great demands on
the performance of radio access technology. This book describes the
features of various mobile access technologies and assesses their
strengths and weaknesses. In particular, it describes the
underlying principles and practical implementation schemes for time
division duplexing (TDD). The book begins with an overview of
next-generation wireless systems. It then describes the basics of
duplex communication modes, interference in cellular systems, and
multiple user access techniques. Focusing on TDD systems, dynamic
channel assignment algorithms are discussed, as are multi-hop
communications schemes, radio resource management, interference
cancellation, and smart antennas. Real-world examples from UMTS,
wireless LAN, and Bluetooth systems are described. The book is
aimed at all those involved in the design and implementation of
wireless systems, as well as at graduate students and researchers
working in the area of wireless communications. For more
