The past decade has seen many advances in physical layer wireless communication theory
and their implementation in wireless systems. This textbook takes a unified view of the …

Wireless technology is a truly revolutionary paradigm shift, enabling multimedia
communications between people and devices from any location. It also underpins exciting …

We examine adaptive modulation schemes for flat-fading channels where the data rate,
transmit power, and instantaneous BER are varied to maximize spectral efficiency, subject to …

We developed a cross-layer design which combines adaptive modulation and coding at the
physical layer with a truncated automatic repeat request protocol at the data link layer, in …

Adaptive modulation techniques have the potential to substantially increase the spectrum
efficiency and to provide different levels of service to users, both of which are considered …

Assuming there are always sufficient data waiting to be transmitted, adaptive modulation
and coding (AMC) schemes at the physical layer have been traditionally designed …

It is well known that IEEE 802.11 provides a physical layer multirate capability and, hence,
MAC layer mechanisms are needed to exploit this capability. Several solutions have been …

Scheduling plays an important role in providing quality of service (QoS) support to
multimedia communications in various kinds of wireless networks, including cellular …

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with Microwave Power Transfer (MPT) capability provide
a practical means to deploy a large number of wireless powered sensing devices into areas …

Covering fundamental principles through to practical applications, this self-contained guide
describes indispensable mathematical tools for the analysis and design of advanced …
