Wavelet Radio – Adaptive and Reconfigurable Wireless Systems Based on Wavelets

Homayoun Nikookar

This book provides a detailed description of wireless communications using wavelets. The book is aimed at all levels of those interested in the topic from graduate students to researchers, and telecommunications engineers, managers and strategists.

Wavelets, as the book states, provide promising potential applications in wireless communication. They have the ability and flexibility to characterise signals with adaptive time-frequency resolution.

Wavelet Radio overviews applications, and it explains how to design new wavelets and compares wavelet technology with existing OFDM technology. Starting with an introduction, the book then looks at the theory of wavelets and then moves on to look at topics including wavelet packet modulators, synchronisation, and peak to average power ratio.

The book also looks at wavelets for spectrum sensing in cognitive radio applications and optimal wavelet design for wireless communications. The last chapter addresses a number of issues from the design of wavelets to the study of wavelet radio performance under the loss of synchronisation. It also takes a look at future research topics.
