Fading and Interference Mitigation in Wireless Communications

Fading and Interference Mitigation in Wireless Communications will help readers stay up to date with recent developments in the performance analysis of space diversity reception over fading channels in the presence of cochannel interference. It presents a unified method for computing the performance of digital communication systems characterized by a variety of modulation and detection types and channel models. The book includes coverage of multichannel reception in various fading environments, influence of cochannel interference, and macrodiversity reception when channels are simultaneously affected by various types of fading and shadowing.

Stefan R. Panic received his MSc and PhD in electrical engineering from the Faculty of Electronic Engineering, Nis, Serbia, in 2007 and 2010, respectively. His research interests in the field of mobile and multichannel communications include statistical characterization and modeling of fading channels, performance analysis of diversity combining techniques, and outage analysis of multiuser wireless systems subject to interference. In the field of digital communications, his current research interests include information theory, source, and channel coding, and signal processing. He has published more than 40 SCI indexed papers. Currently, he works as docent in the Department of Informatics, Faculty of Natural Science and Mathematics, University of Pristina, Serbia. Mihajlo Stefanovic was born in Nis, Serbia in 1947.
