Position Location Techniques and Applications

Cesar Vargas-Rosales is a Senior Member of IEEE and faculty member at Tecnologico de Monterrey. He earned his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Louisiana State University, USA. His expertise includes B5G/6G, cognitive radio, massive MIMO systems, RIS, intrusion/anomaly detection in networks, localization, channel coding, and quantum machine learning. He coauthored two books on position location techniques and applications and radio wave propagation in vehicular environments. Cesar is an Associate Editor for IEEE ACCESS and chairs the IEEE Communications Society Monterrey Chapter. He is a member of the Mexican National Researchers System, Mexican Academy of Science, and Academy of Engineering of Mexico. He was part of the organizing committee for the Virtual Communications Conference (VCC24) and the Technical Program Chair of the IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC2011). He was a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Communication Society from 2021 to 2023.

"Overall, this book has a wider potential audience than communications engineers. Anyone involved in scanners, such as medical ultrasound instruments or robotic world-map builders for autonomous mobile vehicles, will have a possible interest in this book because the authors present their material in tutorial form, making it possible to benefit from the basic principles without being a communications specialist." --EN-Genius Network
