Description
Written by Universiti Teknologi Malaysia researchers with state of the art research, this book covers the 5G multiple access and propagation works in attaining the 5G requirements. The book provides a good foundation in discussing the potential of 5G multiple access, Power Domain Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access, Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier, Filter Bank Multi-Carrier and Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing.
A comparison of the features for different 5G multiple access includes the advantages and disadvantages are also discussed. It is good to understand the underlying characteristics of the multiple access due to the 5G requirements as well as the Quality of service become stringent. The book has an eyer-opener on whether to stick to the existing Orthogonal Frequency Division multiple access of Long Term Evolution or timely to switch to another type of multiple access.
The book also gives an insight into the physical layer by enhancing Joint Source and Channel Coding that possibly can be deployed for 5G applications, like video. Besides that, the empirical path loss models for the indoor environment at 28 GHz are presented in different network scenarios of LOS and NLOS, particularly hotspot, corridor-to-corridor, corridor-to-room and room-to-room. This channel path loss measurement and modelling work are essential in investigating the 5G reliable communications.
