This book treats important topics in "Acoustic Echo and Noise Control" and reports the latest developments. This book, written by an international team of highly qualified experts, concentrates on the modern and advanced methods.

The idea of this book comes from the observation that sensor networks represent a topic of interest from both theoretical and practical perspectives.

Today's wireless services have come a long way since the roll out of the conventional voice-centric cellular systems. This book discusses the cognitive radio, software defined radio, and adaptive radio concepts from several perspectives.

This is the world's first edited book on independent component analysis (ICA)-based blind source separation (BSS) of convolutive mixtures of speech.

This book explores the optimization potential of cross-layer design approaches for wireless ad hoc and sensor network performance, covering both theory and practice. A practical section builds on these issues to explore three case studies of diverse ad hoc and sensor network applications and communication technologies.

This book offers an extended description of continuous-time signals related to signals and systems. Presenting bandlimited and analytic signals, the book reviews the methods of their description, transformation (by Hilbert transform), and sampling.

Grid architectures, which are viewed as tools for the integration of distributed resources, play a significant role as managers of computational resources, but also as aggregators of measurement instrumentation and pervasive large-scale data acquisition platforms.

Algorithmic Information Theory treats the mathematics of many important areas in digital information processing. It has been written as a read-and-learn book on concrete mathematics, for teachers, students and practitioners in electronic engineering, computer science and mathematics.

From the usage of mobile phones - either as simple telephone or for data transmissions - over the new form of telephone service Voice over IP (VoIP), up to the widely used Internet at the users own PC, in all instances the transmission of the information, encoded in a digital form, relies on the Internet Protocol (IP).

Before designing a speech application system, three key questions have to be answered: who will use it, why and how often? This book focuses on these high-level questions and gives a criteria of when and how to design speech systems. The book goes on to evolve criteria for designing and evaluating successful voice user interfaces.

This book gives a detailed description of the handover issues in DVB-H networks, in converged DVB-H/UMTS networks and in hybrid DVB-H/DMB-T networks. The current status and the future research directions of DVB-H and DVB-H handover are also presented.

Discusses the information model that describes the purpose, structure, and behavior of a network. This title presents an added-value modeling language that called AMLn (Abstract Modeling Language, network view), which is an attempt to create a modeling language for network systems.

In addition the test cases specified in the standard are described together with their implications on any practical front-end design. Additional explanations of the standard and especially the test cases will help to better understand the effects on any front-end system design.
