Wireless Communications

Wireless communications is the biggest opportunity ever for our industry. With capabilities much greater than today's networks, opportunities beyond our imagination will appear. With 5G, we will be able to digitalize industries and realize the full potential of a networked society. So far, cellular innovation has focused on driving data rates. With 5G, in addition we see the advent of low-latency Tactile Internet and massive IoT generating new opportunities for society. 5G brings new technology solutions to the 5G mobile networks including new spectrum options, new antenna structures, new physical layer and protocols designs and new network architectures. The authors review the deployment aspects such as Millimeter Wave Communication and transport network and explore the 5G performance aspects including speed and coverage and latency. The book also looks at all the sub-systems of the network, focusing on both the practical and theoretical issues. This text book "Wireless Communications" is organized into Nine Chapters.
