UNIVERSITY OF BEDFORDSHIRE -Professors look at improving wireless networks(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 06 February 2013 Release date- 05022013 - Experts from the University's Department of Computer Science and Technology have contributed to a book exploring developments in the next generation of wireless networks. The book, LTE-Advanced and Next Generation Wireless Networks: Channel Modelling and Propagation, describes recent advances in propagation and channel modelling necessary for the successful design and deployment of new wireless systems. With so many devices using current wireless systems, the volume of wireless data transmitted over the air is exploding, resulting in exhaustion of radio resources. The book addresses fundamental topics indispensable to resolve the imminent lack of radio spectrum, such as cognitive radio, compact antenna design and network planning. One of its editors is Professor Ben Allen, Head of the University's Centre for Wireless Research, and Dr Petros Karadimas and Dr Ghazanfar Safdar, also from the University, were part of a team of 35 researchers from 13 countries who contributed. 'The take-up of mobile phones is still increasing, fuelled by our insatiable demand for more data any time, anywhere,' said Prof Allen. 'Yet the radio spectrum that supports transmission is a limited resource and so new ways of accommodating more data in such a limited resource continues to be the focus of telecommunications researchers and engineers. 'Understanding the radio channel is fundamental to the successful design of any wireless system and this book provides this vital information for future mobile networks.'
