The Chinese edition of this book won the 4th Chinese Government Award for Publishing, and the authors are...

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems can increase the spectral efficiency in wireless communications. However, the interference becomes the major drawback that leads to high computational complexity at both transmitter and receiver. In particular, the complexity of MIMO receivers can be prohibitively high. As an efficient mathematical tool to devise low complexity approaches that mitigate the interference in MIMO systems, lattice reduction (LR) has been widely studied and employed...

Low Complexity MIMO Detection introduces the principle of MIMO systems and signal detection via MIMO channels. This book systematically introduces the symbol detection in MIMO systems. Includes the fundamental knowledge of MIMO detection and recent research outcomes for low complexity MIMO detection.

This textbook covers topics on theoretical analyses of practical low-latency and ultra-reliable communication systems, which is the basis of 5G, B5G and 6G communication systems. The book provides a comprehensive summary of theoretical results for low-latency communication systems, with proofs of main results. Both the information theoretical fundamentals and wireless communications applications with fading are presented. The book is geared towards graduate/senior undergraduate students, h...

Gap junction channels are a group of intercellular channels expressed in tissues and organs to synchronize many physiological processes. A gap junction channel is formed by the docking of two hemichannels, and each hemichannel is a hexamer of connexins. The field of gap junction channel and hemichannel research has recently exploded and became one of the most active areas of cell biology. Numerous novel approaches and techniques have been developed, but there is no single book dedicated to...

This book focuses on security science and technology, data and information security, and mobile and network security for space-air-ground integrated networks (SAGINs). SAGIN are expected to play an increasingly important role in providing real-time, flexible, and integrated communication and data transmission services in an efficient manner. Today, SAGINs have been widely developed for a range of applications in navigation, environmental monitoring, traffic management, counter-terrorism, e...

The book first intro...

Forty talismans. One quiet house. A working manual of Taoist magick for the life you actually live.You have seen the charms in shop windows and online listings — the bagua mirror, the coin string, the folded red pouch — usually with one line of instruction and no idea where any of it really goes, why it works the way tradition says it does, or when to take it down. The Talisman House is the manual those objects never came with: forty named talismans, seals...

Spatiotemporal data is not always precise, and fuzziness in spatiotemporal data is usually accepted because of the way the world is measured and represented. Although eXtensible Markup Language (XML) recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has become the de-facto standard for data representation and exchange on the Web, an edited collection of fuzzy spatiotemporal XML data management studies is still scarce. This book studies fuzzy XML approaches for spatiotemporal data manageme...

In the world of data management, one of the most formidable challenges faced by academic scholars is the effective handling of spatiotemporal data within the semantic web. As our world continues to change dynamically with time, nearly every aspect of our lives, from environmental monitoring to urban planning and beyond, is intrinsically linked to time and space. This synergy has given rise to an avalanche of spatiotemporal data, and the pressing question is how to manage, model, and query ...

This volume is the proceedings of a special conference dedicated to the legacy of Prof. S.-S. Chern, virtually held at the Chern Institute of Mathematics, Nankai University. The conference lasted 2 weeks, and included more than 80 talks, highlighted by a special public lecture by Sir Roger Penrose, on his Nobel winning work on black-holes.The talks ranged from string theory to number theory, from algebraic geometry to muon detectors, from machine-learning to category theory, etc., ...
