Preface

Wireless communications and networks have been one of the major revolutions of the
last three decades. We are witnessing a very fast growth in these technologies where
wireless communications and networks have become so ubiquitous in our society and
indispensable our daily lives. The demand for new services to support high speed
wideband Internet access and advanced high quality real-time video applications push
the researchers to investigate new technologies in wireless communications and
networks.
Progress in wireless communications and networks continues as this book is being
written. Although there have been many journal and conference publications
regarding wireless communication, they are often in the context of academic research
or theoretical derivations and sometimes omit practical considerations. Although the
literature has many conference and journal papers, technical reports, and standard
contributions, they are often fragmental engineering works and thus are not easy to
follow up. The objective of this book is to accelerate research and development by
serving as a forum in which both academia and industry can share experiences and
report original studies and works regarding all aspects of wireless communications. In
addition, this book has great educational value because it aims to serve as a virtual,
but nonetheless effective bridge between academic research in theory and engineering
development in practice, and as a messenger between the technical pioneers and the
researchers who followed in their footstep.
This book which is titled “Wireless Communications and Networks - Recent
Advances”, focuses on the current research topics from wide range of wireless
communications and networks and provides “on-going” research progress on these
issues. During the preparation of this book, I emphasized to the authors to add recent
research findings and future works in this area and to cite latest references in the
chapter. For this reason, a variety of novel techniques in wireless communications and
networks are investigated in this book. The authors attempt to present these topics in
detail. Insightful and reader-friendly descriptions are presented to nourish readers of
any level, from practicing and knowledgeable communication engineers to beginning
or professional researchers. All interested readers can easily find noteworthy materials
X Preface

in much greater detail than in previous publications and in the references cited in
these chapters.
This book includes twenty two chapters that were authored by the well-known
researchers in the world. Each chapter was written in an introductory style beginning
with the fundamentals, describing approaches to the hottest issues and concluding
with a comprehensive discussion. The content in each chapter is taken from many
publications in prestigious journals and conferences and followed by fruitful insights.
The chapters in this book also provide many recent references for relevant topics, and
interested readers will find these references helpful when they explore these topics
further.
This book was divided into seven parts. Part 1 consists of four chapters which are
dedicated to wireless communication antennas. Part 2 consists of three chapters which
are dedicated to wireless communication hardware. Part 3 consists of three chapters
which are dedicated to channel estimation and capacity. Part 4 consists of three
chapters which are dedicated to wireless communication performance analysis tools
and methods. Part 5 consists of six chapters which are dedicated to next generation
wireless communication technologies. Part 6 consists of only one chapter which is
dedicated to biological effects of wireless communication technologies. Finally, Part 7
consists of two chapters which are dedicated to wireless sensor networks & Mobile Ad
Hoc Networks (MANETs).
Chapter 1 provides a comprehensive discussion on the latest technologies of antenna
design for space-limited Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) applications, such as
minimized base station, portable access point and mobile terminals. solve the
contradiction of system volume and antenna performance, two basic methods are
proposed in this chapter to maintain the channel capacity in a reduced system volume.
The first method is to reduce the volume each antenna occupied without decreasing
the number of antenna elements.Another is to antenna performance in space-limited
MIMO system, without increasing the antenna volume.
Chapter 2 introduces Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) system and antenna
specifications. Special consideration of body characteristics for antenna design and
state-of-the-art WCE transmitting and receiving antennas are also reviewed in this
chapter.
Chapter 3 explains travelling planar wave antenna for wireless communications. This
chapter describes the types of travelling planar wave antennas that are Wave Antenna
(LWA), Meanderline antenna, taped LWA and taped composite right/left-handed
transmission-line LWA. In this chapter, measurements are verified with simulations
for all types of LWA.
Chapter 4 explains how to develop a wideband, high gain and high efficient antenna
sufficient for 60 GHz communications using superstrate technology. This chapter also
