Future generations of wireless networks will place great demands on the performance of radio access technology. This book describes the features of various mobile access technologies and assesses their strengths and weaknesses. In particular, it describes the underlying principles and practical implementation schemes for time division duplexing (TDD). The book begins with an overview of next-generation wireless systems. It then describes the basics of duplex communication modes, interference in cellular systems, and multiple user access techniques. Focusing on TDD systems, dynamic channel assignment algorithms are discussed, as are multi-hop communications schemes, radio resource management, interference cancellation, and smart antennas. Real-world examples from UMTS, wireless LAN, and Bluetooth systems are described. The book is aimed at all those involved in the design and implementation of wireless systems, as well as at graduate students and researchers working in the area of wireless communications.

This book is a companion to the same author’s highly regarded Russian and Soviet Battleships, originally published in 2003 and reissued recently. However, it is a far larger undertaking for the obvious reason that there are so many more cruisers than battleships, so coverage is divided into two books, with Russian Cruisers in the Soviet Era to be published a year later. Both volumes follow the same approach as the Battleships book with class-by-class in-depth description of each design, from its inception to the end of service. Their origins and rationale are analysed, the main features discussed, and a considered evaluation of their relative success or failure provided. Apart from the ships actually completed, the book also takes in projects and proposals, notably, in the second volume, the highly ambitious plans of the Stalin era.The ship chapters are backed by more general coverage of Russian cruiser doctrine, political factors affecting procurement, wartime operations (1904–1906, 1914–1921 and 1941–1945), and the lessons drawn from the experience of war and revolution as it impacted cruiser design. This two-part study concludes with a series of appendices devoted to guns, aircraft and catapults, naval electronics, and shipyards and armament plants.Based almost entirely on original Russian sources, both books also benefit from access to photograph collections within Russia, providing the most comprehensive picture of the subject currently available in the West.

Russian and Soviet Battleships is the definitive English language overview of Russian and Soviet battleships, from the ironclad Petr Velikii of 1869 to Stalin's final projects. Meticulously researched, this work describes and illustrates the design histories, technical details, characteristics, and service histories of the forty seagoing battleships that served in the Russian and Soviet Navies. This is the first book about Russian battleships to draw from Russian language materials, including books and articles published since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Some one hundred drawings of ships and design studies, many specially commissioned for this book, are showcased, as well as one hundred photographs, many of them never published in the west.The author, Stephen McLaughlin, analyzes all aspects of battleship design, from the policy decisions behind their construction to details of fire control and gunnery. He evaluates their strengths and weaknesses compared with foreign contemporaries. In addition, McLaughlin outlines numerous projected battleships and conjectural studies. As he examines the active--and often tragic--careers of these ships, he reassesses many of the myths and misconceptions associated with Russian ships and the Russian navy.
