>>> EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing Special Issue on System-Integration-Oriented Transceiver Designs for Wireless Networks Beyond 3G Current research on wireless will provide enhanced transceiver technologies that will enable future upgrade of wireless networks beyond 3G. Yet the prospective innovative solutions that are most likely to make their shortest way to integration in a future real-world wireless system are those that take into account interaction with other subsystem components, any source of imperfection such as estimation and modeling errors, implementation feasibility and costs, software/hardware codesign issues, and so forth to the proof-of-concept. This special issue is seeking original research contributions in the design of new transceiver solutions for wireless networks beyond 3G with a development and assessment approach oriented towards implementation and integration in a real-world wireless system, that is, the methodology ranging from (i) realistic link/system-level software simulation to (ii) off-line verification and validation over channel measurements, (iii) real-time prototyping and validation, and (iv) on-air demonstration and field trials. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): o MIMO structures o Smart antennas o Multiuser detection o Interference cancellation o Space-time coding o Channel decoding o Channel identification/equalization o Synchronization o Power control o CDMA/MC-CDMA/OFDM, etc. Authors should follow the EURASIP JASP manuscript format described at the journal site http://asp.hindawi.com/.
