OFDM Based Relay Systems for Future Wireless Communications" - August 2012

book2012


The book "OFDM Based Relay Systems for Future Wireless Communications" written by Milica Pejanovic-Djurisic, Enis Kocan and Ramjee Prasad has been published by the River Publishers in August 2012.
The book presents a comprehensive research results in analyzing behavior and performance of the OFDM based relay systems with SCP. Dual-hop relay scenario with three communication terminals, and no direct link between the source (S) and the destination (D) has been analyzed, as it is compliant with the accepted solutions for IMT-Advanced systems.

The book includes performance analysis and performance comparison of OFDM based:
  • amplify-and-forward (AF) relay systems with fixed gain (FG),
  • amplify-and-forward (AF) relay systems with variable gain (VG),
  • decode-and-forward (DF) relay systems,
each including two SCP schemes, known to maximize the system capacity and/or improve the bit error rate (BER) performances. Performance comparisons have enabled definition of optimal solutions for the future wireless communication systems in a given conditions, and for the given optimality criteria. OFDM based relay systems for future wireless communications contains recent research results in this area and is ideal for the academic staff and master/research students in area of mobile communication systems, as well as for the personnel in communication industry.
