Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has become the technology of choice for broadband communication in a wireless multipath environment. For instance, it will be used in next generation wireless local area networks (WLANs) and broadband fixed wireless access networks. Although the theory of OFDM is well developed, implementation aspects of OFDM systems remain a challenge.Wireless OFDM Systems brings together the broad and extensive experience of the editor and contributors by providing a comprehensive overview of OFDM implementation issues and OFDM based WLAN systems. The book starts with a discussion of indoor propagation channels, followed by an overview of the basics of OFDM, HIPERLAN/2 and IEEE 802.11a standards. Next, readers are lead through a complete design cycle of an OFDM transceiver, starting with channel estimation and synchronization functionality, and carried through to actual realizations. The different influences of the radio front-end on OFDM communication performance are detailed in the next chapters as well as many OFDM practical problems related to non-linear power amplifiers. The authors conclude with illustrations of several practical implementations involving wireless OFDM transceivers.Wireless OFDM Systems is a must have reference work for wireless communication designers who are building wireless OFDM transceivers.

Summary:Ethereal Network Protocol Analyzer Toolkit provides the reader with a completely integrated book and companion Web site to analyze network traffic using Ethereal, the world's most popular network protocol analyzer on Windows, Unix, and Apple OS X. This book covers everything from the fundamentals of protocol analysis, to analyzing real world malicious code to programming advanced protocol dissectors. The companion Web site for the book offers dozens of working tools and scripts created for this book. This book provides complete information and step-by-step Instructions for analyzing protocols and network traffic on Windows, Unix or Mac OS X networks. First, readers will learn about the types of sniffers available today and see the benefits of using Ethereal. Readers will then learn to install Ethereal in multiple environments including Windows, Unix and Mac OS X as well as building Ethereal from source and will also be guided through Ethereal's graphical user interface. The following sections will teach readers to use command-line options of Ethereal as well as using Tethereal to capture live packets from the wire or to read saved capture files. This section also details how to import and export files between Ethereal and WinDump, Snort, Snoop, Microsoft Network Monitor, and EtherPeek. The book then teaches the reader to master advanced tasks such as creating sub-trees, displaying bitfields in a graphical view, tracking requests and reply packet pairs as well as exclusive coverage of MATE, Ethereal's brand new configurable upper level analysis engine. The final section to the book teaches readers to enable Ethereal to read new Data sources, program their own protocol dissectors, and to create and customize Ethereal reports.
