Wireless channels are becoming more and more important, with thefuture development of wireless ad-hoc networks and the integrationof mobile and satellite communications. To this end,algorithmic detection aspects (involved in the physical layer) willbecome fundamental in the design of a communication system.
This book proposes a unified approach to detection forstochastic channels, with particular attention to wirelesschannels. The core idea is to show that the three main criteria ofsequence detection, symbol detection and graph-based detection, canall be described within a general framework. This implies that adetection algorithm based on one criterion can be extended to theother criteria in a systematic manner.
* Presents a detailed analysis of statistical signal detectionfor digital signals transmitted over wireless communications
* Provides a unifying framework for different signal detectionalgorithms, such as sequence detection, symbol detection andgraph-based detection, important for the design of modern digitalreceivers operating over mobile channels
* Features the hot topic of graph-based detection
Detection Algorithms for Wireless Communicationsrepresents a novel contribution with respect to the currentliterature, with a unique focus on detection algorithms, as such itwill prove invaluable to researchers working in academia andindustry and in the field of wireless communications, as well aspostgraduate students attending advanced courses on mobilecommunications.
