5G-Advanced, 3GPP standardization phases and naming With the recent update from 3GPP [1] the new brand name and the logo have been introduced for the Release-18 (Rel-18) of mobile communications standards, namely 5G-Advanced. The work package for this standard release is still to be approved (the prioritization process on Rel-18 features should be completed …
When Artech House authors write their books, we ask them what they want their readers to get out of the project. In this series, we show you what our authors, in their own words, wish to impart upon readers. Y.J. Liu, author of Introduction to OFDM Receiver Design and Simulation, describes what his book …
We followed up with Artech House author Hamid Tayebi to learn where his research has led him today, and how that relates back to his publication with us, Applications of Geographic Information Systems for Wireless Network Planning: “After writing the book, we began to work on an enhanced web tool. This time, we focused on …
Review by Marina Ruggieri This edited book is an interesting effort to provide a coherent framework to the In-Band Full-Duplex (IBFD) approach and its technological developments. IBFD has a potential in the future of connectivity technologies, even if the challenges that the 5G to 6G transition will pose might be somehow different from those expected …
In the early 1980’s, the Italian kitchen appliance company Zanussi launched a new Jetsystem washing machine coupled to what was to become one of the world’s most successful marketing campaigns – the ‘appliance of science’. It rhymes and has a double meaning but the three words also convey a message that science has been applied …
What did Galileo and Karl Jansky have in common? In 1610, Galileo looked up at the stars through his latest invention, a prototype for the modern day refractor telescope. In 1931 Karl Jansky accidentally discovered radio astronomy when investigating background static on Bell Labs short wave transatlantic radio phone service. Radio astronomers explore the outer …
The satellite communication landscape is evolving. The traditional services are not sustaining the growth that the space industry is used to, and new services are showing new promises. Broadband access is such an area encompassing two main applications, namely fixed broadband and mobile broadband. In these days where economics are becoming the deciding factor in …
Recently, the OFDM technology has advanced significantly. It has found applications in 5G using concepts such as OFDM-MIMO, Massive MIMO and others. However, OFDM is still the fundamental building block of all these advanced applications. To help the readers get up to speed in stepping into the 5G era, this book entitled “Introduction to OFDM …
The Technical Foundations of IoT by Boris Adryan, Dominik Obermaier, Paul Fremantle provides an overview of the technical aspects of the Internet of Things (in fact, most other modern technology!), offering more theory and background information than is usually required for non-specialists in interdisciplinary development teams. That is, product design specialists are going to get an introduction …
Once in a while we find ourselves writing about topics which are relatively new to us. My comfort zone as an author is RF engineering but suddenly it seems that free space optical wireless is becoming important in space and terrestrial networks. Counter intuitively this became obvious when looking at the economics of subsea fibre …
