Information & Communication Technology (ICT) plays a significant role in promoting the social and economic
development of a country. The communication infrastructure is at the core of
the telecommunication sector. The wireless communication infrastructure
continues to grow rapidly as the need for transporting information 24x7 rises.
Research in mobile and wireless systems is today gradually shifting from high
volume voice services to high volume and high speed data services. With new
wireless devices like notebooks, smart-phones, and other mobile internet
devices, the next generation of wireless systems will require means of handling
high data rates, will need to be spectral-efficient, and be capable of being
deployed in various environments.
