	Distributed Network Structure Estimation using Consensus Methods Sai Zhang, Cihan Tepedelenlioglu, Andreas Spanias, Mahesh Banavar The area of detection and estimation in a distributed wireless sensor network (WSN) has several applications, including military surveillance, sustainability, health monitoring, and Internet of Things (IoT). Compared with a wired centralized sensor n… Publication Date: March, 2018 Read More
	Node Localization in Wireless Sensor Networks Xue Zhang, Cihan Tepedelenlioglu, Mahesh Banavar, Andreas Spanias In sensor network applications, measured data are often meaningful only when the location is accurately known. In this booklet, we study research problems associated with node localization in wireless sensor networks. We describe sensor network local… Publication Date: December, 2016 Read More
	Multipath Effects in GPS Receivers Steven Miller, Xue Zhang, Andreas Spanias This book gives an excellent introduction to the theory and design of a global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) receiver. A GNSS estimates postition based upon time-of-arrival estimates obtained by tracking a satellite’s code and carrier phase. … Publication Date: December 29, 2015 Read More
	Partial Update Least-Square Adaptive Filtering Bei Xie, Tamal Bose Adaptive filters play an important role in the fields related to digital signal processing and communication, such as system identification, noise cancellation, channel equalization, and beamforming. In practical applications, the computational compl… Publication Date: 05/01/2014 Read More
	Information Theory and Rate Distortion Theory for Communications and Compression Jerry Gibson This book is very specifically targeted to problems in communications and compression by providing the fundamental principles and results in information theory and rate distortion theory for these applications and presenting methods that have proved … Publication Date: 12/01/2013 Read More
	Underwater Communications Marco Lanzagorta Underwater vehicles and underwater moorings are increasing in tactical importance. As such, it is critical to have a robust and secure communication system connecting underwater vehicles on a long seaborne mission and a ground station. As a matter of… Publication Date: 01/01/2012 Read More
	Block Transceivers Paulo Diniz, Wallace Martins, Markus Lima The demand for data traffic over mobile communication networks has substantially increased during the last decade. As a result, these mobile broadband devices spend the available spectrum fiercely, requiring the search for new technologies. In transm… Publication Date: 01/01/2012 Read More
	A Tutorial on Queuing and Trunking with Applications to Communications William Tranter, Allen B. MacKenzie, The motivation for developing this synthesis lecture was to provide a tutorial on queuing and trunking, with extensions to networks of queues, suitable for supplementing courses in communications, stochastic processes, and networking. An essential co… Publication Date: 01/01/2012 Read More
	Basic Simulation Models of Phase Tracking Devices Using MATLAB William Tranter, Ratchaneekorn Thamvichai, Tamal Bose, The Phase-Locked Loop (PLL), and many of the devices used for frequency and phase tracking, carrier and symbol synchronization, demodulation, and frequency synthesis, are fundamental building blocks in today’s complex communications systems. It is th… Publication Date: 01/01/2010 Read More
	Joint Source Channel Coding Using Arithmetic Codes Bi Dongsheng, Khalid Sayood, Michael Hoffman Based on the encoding process, arithmetic codes can be viewed as tree codes and current proposals for decoding arithmetic codes with forbidden symbols belong to sequential decoding algorithms and their variants. In this monograph, we propose a new wa… Publication Date: 01/01/2009 Read More
	Game Theory for Wireless Engineers Allen B. MacKenzie, Luiz A. DaSilva The application of mathematical analysis to wireless networks has met with limited success, due to the complexity of mobility and traffic models, coupled with the dynamic topology and the unpredictability of link quality that characterize such networ… Publication Date: 01/01/2006 Read More
	Fundamentals of Spread Spectrum Modulation Rodger E. Ziemer This lecture covers the fundamentals of spread spectrum modulation, which can be defined as any modulation technique that requires a transmission bandwidth much greater than the modulating signal bandwidth, independently of the bandwidth of the modul… Publication Date: 01/01/2007 Read More
	Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) R. Michael Buehrer This book covers the basic aspects of Code Division Multiple Access or CDMA. It begins with an introduction to the basic ideas behind fixed and random access systems in order to demonstrate the difference between CDMA and the more widely understood T… Publication Date: 01/01/2006 Read More
