Prime Codes with Applications to Wireless and Optical Networks

Due to the rapid development of optical and wireless technologies, prime codes used in signal transmissions have quickly become of great interest to today's wireless and telecommunications engineers. This book provides professionals with the latest research on prime codes and their advanced applications in both wireless and optical communications. It describes in clear, concise language the fundamental issues involved in prime codes and their relationships to modern communications. Examples are used to illustrate the fundamental concepts and how prime codes are designed. The first part of the book sorts out the mathematical concepts and formulations that are essential throughout the book. This resource goes on to explain the theories and designs of prime codes, and provides targets for optical applications of prime codes. Moreover, the book covers targets for wireless applications of prime codes, and shows how prime codes are applied to frequency-hopping code-division multiple-access (FH-CDMA) wireless networks.
