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.

Dr Marcos Katz, VTT, Finland
Dr Katz received his PhD from University of Oulu, Finland in 2002. He has 20 years of experience in the field of wireless communications (industry, academia and, research institutions). He has edited 2 books and published widely in journals and conferences. He is currently a Technical Manager of EU FP6 Integrated Project dealing with new WiMAX scenarios, technical solutions and test-beds. He is developing multiantenna solutions for new WiMAX scenarios (environmental monitoring), and is also involved in exploring novel WiMAX architectures exploiting cooperation.

Professor Rolf Kraemer, Brandenburg Technical University Cottbus, Germany
Professor Kraemer headed the department of Telecommunication Systems and Multimedia Services at Philips Research in Hamburg and Aachen from 1985-1998. Since 1998 he holds the chair of (wireless) systems at the Brandenburg Technical University Cottbus. Additionally, he is department head of the wireless multimedia communications department at the IHP (Innovations for High Performance Microelectronics) in Frankfurt (Oder). In this position he leads a team of 25 R&D professionals in Frankfurt (Oder) with core competence in communications, electronic and VHDL design, protocol and application engineering for wireless communication, and expanding into networking and multimedia.
