Acknowledgments
I would like to thank Mobisphere Ltd. for giving me the privilege to work in the
forefront of mobile communications technology, together with 3G industry leaders
Siemens and NEC. I would like to express my gratitude to the following R&D
leaders and experts for the valuable discussions I had with them on many of the
topics presented in the book: Dr. H. Dressler, Dr. N. Endo, Mr. L. Travaglini, Dr.
J. Sokat, Dr. M. Schwab, Dr. W. Mohr, Dr. J. Schindler, Dr. M. Kottkamp, Dr. A.
Seeger, Dr. M. Breitbach, Mr. M. Wiesen, Dr. H. Kroener, Dr. G. Schnabl, Dr. A.
Splett, Dr. J. Mayer, Mr. T. Shimizu, Mr. T. Sato, Mr. K. Tsuji, Mr. K. Tanoue,
Dr. Ng Cheng Hock, Dr. G. Hertel, and Mr. H. Singh. It should be pointed out,
however, that the material presented in the book represents only my view, not that
of any of the three companies.
I am also grateful to some of my former colleagues with whom I worked at
Fujitsu on advanced 3G base stations: Mr. S. Vadgama, Mr. Fukuda, Mr. M.
Shearme, Dr. M. Davies, Mr. M. Zarri, and Mr. Y. Tanaka. Further, I am indebted
to some leading academics whose insight I have benefited from: Professor S. K.
Barton, University of Manchester, England; Professor J. Gardiner, University of
Bradford, England; and Professor L. Hanzo, University of Southampton, England.
I would like to thank Professor F. C. Zheng, Victoria University of Technology,
Australia, for his contribution to Chapter 5. Moreover, on behalf of Professor
Zheng, I would like to thank Mr. J. C. Campbell of Telstra Research Laboratories,
Melbourne, Australia, for his helpful comments on some of the material presented
in Chapter 5. My special thanks go to the anonymous reviewers and Artech House
for their constructive comments and valuable suggestions that I received in the
process of preparing the manuscript.
Last, but not least, I would like to express my gratitude to Clare, Stella, and
Charl Guo for their love, inspiration, understanding, and kind support.
