Title: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)(to be
published by Auerbach Publications, CRC Press, Taylor&Francis Group)

IntroductionOrthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) is a
multi-user version of the popular OFDM digital modulation scheme. It
can realize high data throughput, increase the robustness against
interference and improve the efficiency of the resource usage, such as
spectrum and transmit power. OFDMA enables carriers to traverse the
last-mile bottleneck and provides subscribers with enhanced broadband
services. Due to its promising advantages, OFDMA is employed in a
number of international standards, e.g. IEEE 802.16 WiMAX, 3GPP Long
Term Evolution (LTE), and High Speed OFDM Packet Access (HSOPA). In
addition, OFDMA is the candidate access method for the IEEE 802.22
“Wireless Regional Area Networks”. OFDMA has been viewed as one of the
most promising access technologies for current and future wireless
networks. It has no doubt that OFDMA techniques will keep attracting
lots of attention by both the academic researchers and the industrial
engineers for a long period. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find a
book that can give readers a systematic study of OFDMA techniques.
Hence, it will be most welcome if a book can give a comprehensive
explanation of the fundamental theories and a complete survey of
recent developments on the OFDMA technology. Moreover, open problems
and possible solutions on critical design issues will be of great
interest for the people who are working on wireless communications.
