A range of real-world case studies are included to illustrate key insights. Finally, emerging trends in the handset industry are identified, and the global impact those trends could have on future devices is discussed.

This book contains all the topics of importance to the low power designer. It first lays the foundation and then goes on to detail the design process. The book also discusses such special topics as power management and modal design, ultra low power, and low power design methodology and flows. In addition, coverage includes projections of the future and case studies.

The evolution of mobile communication standards presents numerouschallenges in mobile handset design. Designers must continue toturn out handsets that maintain high device performance and airinterface compatibility, while at the same time shrink powerconsumption, form factors, and costs. Mobile Handset Design is uniquely written to equipprofessionals and students with a complete understanding of how amobile phone works, and teaches the skills to design the latestmobile handsets. Das walks readers through mobile phone operatingprinciples, system infrastructure, TDMA-FDMA-CDMA-OFDMA techniques,hardware anatomy, software and protocols, and internal modules,components, and circuits. He presents all problems associated withmobile wireless channels and recommends corresponding designsolutions to overcome those issues. Mobile RF front-end, digitalbaseband design techniques, and associated trade-offs are alsocovered. Das also discusses the productization aspects and reviewsnew research developments for different mobile phone systems overgenerations. Teaches basic working principles of legacy and 4G mobilesystems Vividly illustrates and explains all key components and theanatomy of mobile phones Explains all hardware and software blocks, from principle topractice to product Discusses key design attributes such as low power consumptionand slim form factors Moves through all topics in a systematic fashion for easycomprehension Presentation files with lecture notes available for instructoruse This book is essential for practicing software, hardware and RFdesign engineers and product managers working to create innovate,competitive handsets. Mobile Handset Design is also idealfor fresh graduates or experienced engineers who are new to themobile industry, and is well-suited for industry veterans as ahandy reference.

This book presents the state of the art in the field of mobile and wireless networks, and anticipates the arrival of new standards and architectures. It focuses on wireless networks, starting with small personal area networks and progressing onto the very large cells of wireless regional area networks, via local area networks dominated by WiFi technology, and finally metropolitan networks. After a description of the existing 2G and 3G standards, with LTE being the latest release, LTE-A is addressed, which is the first 4G release, and a first indication of 5G is provided as seen through the standardizing bodies. 4G technology is described in detail along with the different LTE extensions related to the massive arrival of femtocells, the increase to a 1 Gbps capacity, and relay techniques. 5G is also discussed in order to show what can be expected in the near future. The Internet of Things is explained in a specific chapter due to its omnipresence in the literature, ad hoc and mesh networks form another important chapter as they have made a comeback after a long period of near hibernation, and the final chapter discusses a particularly recent topic: Mobile-Edge Computing (MEC) servers.

Business is on the move - mobile computing must keep up! Innovative technology is making the communication between computers a cordless affair. Mobile computing with laptops, hand helds and mobile phones is increasing the demand for reliable and secure wireless networks. Network engineers and consultants need to create and build cutting-edge wireless networks in both the small business and multi-million dollar corporations. Designing Wireless Networks provides the necessary information on how to design and implement a wireless network. Beginning with detailed descriptions of the various implementations and architectures of wireless technologies and moving to the step-by-step instructions on how to install and deploy a fixed wireless network; this book will teach users with no previous wireless networking experience how to design and build their own wireless network based on the best practices of the Enhanced Services from Lucent Technologies. * Timely coverage of new technologies: Communication without cables is the future of netwoking * Advocates wireless networking solutions for any user, regardless of location, device or connection. * Written by Experts. The authors are leading WAN authorities at Lucent Technologies. * No previous wireless experience is assumed, however, readers should have a basic understanding of networking and TCP/IP protocols

em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"Wireless Communications Systems Design provides the basic knowledge and methodology for wireless communications design. The book mainly focuses on a broadband wireless communication system based on OFDM/OFDMA system because it is widely used in the modern wireless communication system. It is divided into three parts: wireless communication theory (part I), wireless communication block design (part II), and wireless communication block integration (part III). Written by an expert with various experience in system design (standards, research and development)

Expert contributors drawn from the ranks of academia and industry have authored chapters in such areas as third-generation wireless, wireless sensor networks, RF power amplifiers, spread spectrum modulation, signal propagation, antennas, and other key subjects that engineers working in RF and wireless need to be familiar with. This is far more than just a tutorial or reference guide—it is a "guided tour" through the world of cutting-edge RF and wireless design, combining theory, applications, and philosophies behind the RF/wireless design process. The multiple and sometimes overlapping chapters reiterate and emphasize the fundamentals in the context of different types of wireless applications.Here are just a few benefits that readers will gain from reading this book:*A refresher and update of wireless principles and techniques.*Information about the latest (and forthcoming) RF and wireless circuits, products and systems.*Guidelines, approaches, and techniques to RF/wireless design.*Examples of typical applications with an emphasis on real-world situations including existing and forthcoming new components and integrated circuits.*Coverage of new and emerging wireless topics heretofore not widely covered in print (e.g. UWB, RFID, IR, etc.)* A comprehensive survey of current RF and wireless engineering practice * Heavy emphasis on practical applications and design guidelines* Multiple contributors assure a wide range of perspectives and avoids individual bias

This textbook takes a unified view of the fundamentals of wireless communication and explains cutting-edge concepts in a simple and intuitive way. An abundant supply of exercises make it ideal for graduate courses in electrical and computer engineering and it will also be of great interest to practising engineers.
