John Wiley & Sons Inc NonBinary Error Control Coding for Wireless
Book SynopsisComprehensive introduction to non-binary error-correction coding techniques Non-Binary Error Control Coding for Wireless Communication and Data Storage explores non-binary coding schemes that have been developed to provide an alternative to the Reed Solomon codes, which are expected to become unsuitable for use in future data storage and communication devices as the demand for higher data rates increases. This book will look at the other significant non-binary coding schemes, including non-binary block and ring trellis-coded modulation (TCM) codes that perform well in fading conditions without any expansion in bandwidth use, and algebraic-geometric codes which are an extension of Reed-Solomon codes but with better parameters. Key Features: Comprehensive and self-contained reference to non-binary error control coding starting from binary codes and progressing up to the latest non-binary codes Explains the design and constructionTable of ContentsAcknowledgements Preface Chapter 1 - Information, Channel Capacity and Channel Modelling Introduction 1.2.

Book SynopsisThe Twenty-First-Century Media Industry examines the role that new media technologies are having on the traditional media industry from a media management perspective. It provides an intriguing examination of how traditional media industries are adapting to new media technologies and evolving in the twenty-first century.Trade ReviewThe 21st Century Media Industry is well worth reading not only for its broad scope, but for the timeliness of the chapters. Readers of this book will come away with a clear conceptual map of the changing media landscape as well as a detailed understanding of the challenges of the years ahead in forging a new business model, or set of business models, for media operating in the digital age. -- John V. Pavlik, Rutgers UniversityPredicting the future of the media industry at this juncture may sound audacious, yet this volume does so, and the future it presents is auspicious. The 13 chapters—all by US academicians and media scholars with impressive credentials—address possible approaches to media management, new technologies and innovations, and the implications of various media: recorded music, print, journalism, cable and broadcasting (including radio), cinema, the Internet, mobile telephones. Media have saturated modern society for the past 50 years. The opening essay, coauthored by Hendricks (Stephen F. Austin State Univ.) and Susan Smith, notes that "the latter half of the twentieth century saw an explosion in the communication industry [with] personal computers, satellites, cable television, cell phones, digital and high definition television, DVDs and the World Wide Web." But, the essay goes on to observe, the change is not in the media per se but rather in the "delivery systems." That the book does not offer an exact definition of the term "new media" is only right, given that in the 1450s the printing press was a "new medium." Summing Up: Highly recommended.

The author, a U.S. Navy Reserve officer, is well qualified to point to the distinction between the visible side of sea power, as reflected in ships and in naval weapons, and the much less visible but absolutely essential side involving the use of information. -- Norman Friedman Proceedings Wolter's familiarity with naval minutiae and procedures leads to a lively and procedures leads to a lively, highly readable narrative that also maintains scholarly depth and thoroughness. Choice Information at Sea is a wonderful book, contributing to our understanding of the evolution of human-machine integration... a 'must read'! -- Mark Hagerott International Journal of Maritime History Both author and publisher have made this an appealing book. Illustrations of key personalities and equipment not only bring the subject to life, but are all the more helpful in understanding the core issues... This book is a must for any serious student of naval operations, platform design and in particular of the USN. Despite its specialised subject matter it will be valuable to military historians in general, especially those looking at the development and problems associated with command in the twentieth century. -- Dr. Marcus Faulkner British Journal of Military History This book will appeal to a broad cross-section of readers with an interest in naval matters and in particular those officers and sailors of the war-fighting community... Wolters has done a fine job in researching and writing this book and the astute reader will recognise that there are important lessons to be learned in it. -- John Perryman Great Circle The reader interested in a broad history of command and control design and innovation aboard US warships from the Civil War to World War II will be well rewarded. Wolters has mastered the sources surrounding this topic and writes in an easy style... This book is most highly recommended. -- John T. Kuehn International Journal of Naval History An outstanding history of the US Navy from the Civil War through the Second World War... Information at Sea has four particular strengths. First, it reveals the connective tissues and nervous system of shipboard command and control across an eighty-year period through extensive pioneering archival research. Second, its well written chronicle of technological investigation, adaptation, innovation, and combat applications will appeal to experts and general readers alike. Third, it seamlessly interweaves bureaucratic decision-making with matters of laboratory research and development, field experimentation, adjustments in training and education, and the new command and control systems; Wolters explains how, why, and to what effect the Navy made changes to improve its combat efficiency. Fourth, the book challenges the longstanding notion that entrenched naval conservatism time and again retarded innovation. Wolters makes abundantly clear that, on the contrary, the Navy regularly listened, learned, and made intelligent decisions about integrating new communications and detection systems... For all these reasons, Information at Sea should stand as a landmark work of military history. -- Branden Little Michigan War Studies ReviewTable of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroduction1.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Focus on Cognitive Radio Technology
Book SynopsisBook & CD. Cognitive Radio (CR technology) has the potential to provide more innovative, flexible, and comprehensive use of the radio frequency spectrum, while at the same time minimising the risk of interference to other spectrum users. CRs can be developed that have the technical capability to adapt their use of the spectrum in response to information external to the radio. As a result of this technical and operational flexibility, CR technologies may also make it possible to use spectrum that may be available in a particular geographic location or during a particular period of time and would otherwise go unused. At this time, there is not a clear boundary between CR and software defined radio (SDR) technologies. In many instances, SDR will be used as the basic platform on which to build CR technology. This book provides the first details of this new and innovative technology.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Cognitive Radio: Terminology, Technology &
Book SynopsisCognitive radio is a radio that can sense, learn and adapt to the surrounding environment according to its inner and outer stimuli. A primary feature of cognitive radios is the ability to adapt the transmission parameters given a dynamic wireless environment. In this book, the cognitive radio adaptation is formalised and four evolutionary algorithms are explored and used to intelligently solve this problem and determine the optimal parameters for a given situation. Moreover, the authors of this book limit the scope of cognition to reduce mutual interference between CR-based rental (unlicensed) users and licensed users (LUs) and in providing coexistence between them. The modulation strategies employed to realise a co-existence between the CR-based rental system and the licensed system are introduced. In addition, a novel dynamic spectrum sharing scheme combining spectrum adaptation and MIMO-OFDM for cognitive radio system is proposed. In order to improve spectrum efficiency and reduce computational complexity, a simple power allocation algorithm is proposed as well. Other chapters report recent results on policy-based self-management towards self-adaptive and Cognitive Radio Systems (CRS). Its focus is not on self-properties of cognitive radio systems but on self-learning policy and cognition.

Rowman & Littlefield International The Cultural Work of Community Radio
Book SynopsisCommunity radio is an established and key site for negotiations of social and political issues for marginalised communities. Given its inherently local nature (both geographically and ideologically), community radio is perfectly placed as a site for articulating community concerns. At the same time, given this local quality, the diverse ways in which stations—and broadcasters—negotiate their community concerns vary substantially from city to city and region to region across Canada and the US. The Cultural Work of Community Radio investigates the multiple modes of community and broadcasting practice at selected community stations, explores how these draw from and reflect ongoing concerns of their host city or region, and examines how on the ground practice maps on to overarching broadcast policy directives and guidelines. Focusing on community production practices with reference to policy frameworks around community representation, this book examines and compares differences in community radio production practices in Miami, Montreal, New Orleans, Toronto and tribal lands in Arizona.Trade ReviewFrom broadcasting through a crisis to preserving local heritage, community radio is the hero unsung for millions around the globe. Moylan’s loving ears listen to the voices of those who produce it. In doing so, she creates a new hymn to the promise and perils of this vital-yet-under-resourced media. -- Vicki Mayer, Professor of Communication, Tulane UniversityMoylan provides a rich and colourful description of community radio, comparing five different projects, in diverse communities, across North America. In assessing the cultural work and significance of community promotion and development on different radio stations, she makes a unique contribution to the field by competently and comprehensively querying the social, political and aesthetic aspects of community, culture and radio. -- Rosemary Day, Head of the Department of Media and Communication Studies, Mary Immaculate College, University of LimerickThe strength of this book is the intelligent and logical approach that Moylan uses to link scholarly theory with the nuanced community radio practices observed in the field. She employs case studies conducted in five diverse areas of the US and Canada to highlight specific themes common to many community radio stations globally. Scholars and practitioners will find this an intriguing read. -- Janey Gordon, Visiting Researcher, University of BedfordshireThe Cultural Work of Community Radio presents a multifaceted comparative analysis of community radio in North America, deeply informed by the experiences, perspectives and voices of broadcasters themselves. Using an assembled approach that considers content, structure and production practices, Moylan highlights the significant, and often unrecognized, value of the cultural work undertaken through community radio every day. -- Heather Anderson, Senior Lecturer in Journalism, University of South AustraliaKatie Moylan has produced an important work on the value and significance of the cultural work of community radio. Drawing on a number of detailed studies of community stations in the United States and Canada, she captures how this cultural labour facilitates meaningful community participation and representation, reworking expressions and understandings of ‘communities’ in all their diversity, often in challenging institutional contexts. Essential reading for students and practitioners alike. -- Niamh Gaynor, Associate Professor, Dublin City UniversityTable of Contents1. Complicating ‘Community’/ 2.

World Scientific Europe Ltd Simulation-based Optimization Of Antenna Arrays
Book SynopsisThe book addresses surrogate-assisted design of antenna arrays, in particular, how surrogate models, both data-driven and physics-based, can be utilized to expedite procedures such as parametric optimization, design closure, statistical analysis, or fault detection. Algorithms and design frameworks are illustrated using a large variety of examples including real-world printed-circuit antenna and antenna array structures.This unique compendium contains introductory materials concerning numerical optimization, both conventional (gradient-based and derivative-free, including metaheuristics) and surrogate-based, as well as a considerable selection of customized procedures developed specifically to handle antenna array problems. Recommendations concerning practical aspects of surrogate-assisted multi-objective antenna optimization are also given. The methods presented allow for cost-efficient handling of antenna array design problems (involving CPU-intensive EM models) in the context of design optimization and statistical analysis, which will benefit both researchers, designers and graduate students.
