Interference Analysis and Reduction for Wireless Systems

Identifies the vulnerable points of wireless systems in an interference- and distortion-based environment, and presents techniques for mitigating the effects of interference. Stavroulakis (electrical engineering, Technical University of Crete) develops a methodology that involves quantifying the parameters of the wireless system that play a major role in the design, characterizing the channel that will be used, and defining the transmission system to be implemented, then analyzing the additive or multiplicative nature of the interfering signals. The last chapter describes several interference cancelers, including the maximum likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE) scheme, the indirect cochannel interference canceler (ICIC), and the orthogonalizing matched filter (OMF).
