Short–Range Wireless Communications: Emerging Technologies and Applications

This unique book reviews the future developments of short–range wireless communication technologies
Short–Range Wireless Communications: Emerging Technologies and Applications summarizes the outcomes of WWRF Working Group 5, highlighting the latest research results and emerging trends on short–range communications. It contains contributions from leading research groups in academia and industry on future short–range wireless communication systems, in particular 60 GHz communications, ultra–wide band (UWB) communications, UWB radio over optical fiber, and design rules for future cooperative short–range communications systems. Starting from a brief description of state–of–the–art, the authors highlight the perspectives and limits of the technologies and identify where future research work is going to be focused.
Key Features:
 •Provides an in–depth coverage of wireless technologies that are about to start an evolution from international standards to mass products, and that will influence the future of short–range communications
•Offers a unique and invaluable visionary overview from both industry and academia
•Identifies open research problems, technological challenges, emerging technologies, and fundamental limits
•Covers ultra–high speed short–range communication in the 60 GHz band, UWB communication, limits and challenges, cooperative aspects in short–range communication and visible light communications, and UWB radio over optical fiber
This book will be of interest to research managers, R&D engineers, lecturers and graduate students within the wireless communication research community. Executive managers and communication engineers will also find this reference useful.
