The demand for data traffic over mobile communication networks has substantially increased during the last decade. As a result, these mobile broadband devices spend the available spectrum fiercely, requiring the search for new technologies. In transmissions where the channel presents a frequency-selective behavior, multicarrier modulation (MCM) schemes have proven to be more efficient, in terms of spectral usage, than conventional modulations and spread spectrum techniques.The orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is the most popular MCM method, since it not only increases spectral efficiency but also yields simple transceivers. All OFDM-based systems, including the single-carrier with frequency-division equalization (SC-FD), transmit redundancy in order to cope with the problem of interference among symbols. This book presents OFDM-inspired systems that are able to, at most, halve the amount of redundancy used by OFDM systems while keeping the computational complexity comparable. Such systems, herein called memoryless linear time-invariant (LTI) transceivers with reduced redundancy, require low-complexity arithmetical operations and fast algorithms. In addition, whenever the block transmitter and receiver have memory and/or are linear time-varying (LTV), it is possible to reduce the redundancy in the transmission even further, as also discussed in this book. For the transceivers with memory it is possible to eliminate the redundancy at the cost of making the channel equalization more difficult. Moreover, when time-varying block transceivers are also employed, then the amount of redundancy can be as low as a single symbol per block, regardless of the size of the channel memory.With the techniques presented in the book it is possible to address what lies beyond the use of OFDM-related solutions in broadband transmissions.Table of Contents: The Big Picture / Transmultiplexers / OFDM / Memoryless LTI Transceivers with Reduced Redundancy / FIR LTVTransceivers with Reduced Redundancy

He was the General co-Chair of the IEEE ISCAS2011, and Technical Program co-Chair of the IEEE SPAWC2008.He has been on the technical committee of several international conferences including ISCAS, ICECS, EUSIPCO, andMWSCAS. He has served as Vice President for region 9 of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society and as Chairman of the DSP technical committee of the same Society. He is also a Fellow of IEEE. He has served as associate editor for the following Journals: IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II: Analog and Digital Signal Processing from 1996-1999, IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing from 1999-2002, and the Circuits, Systems and Signal Processing Journal from 1998-2002. He was a distinguished lecturer of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society from 2000-2001. In 2004, he served as distinguished lecturer of the IEEE Signal Processing Society and received the 2004 Education Award of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society. He also holds some best-paper awards from conferences and from an IEEE journal. Wallace A. Martins was born in Brazil in 1983. He received an Electronics Engineering degree (Cum Laude) from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) in 2007, and M.Sc. and D.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering from COPPE/UFRJ in 2009 and 2011, respectively. He worked as a technical consultant for Nokia Institute of Technology (INDT), Brazil, and for TechKnowledge Training, Brazil. In 2008, he was a research visitor at the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN. Since 2010 he has been with the Department of Control and Automation Industrial Engineering, Federal Center for Technological Education Celso Suckow da Fonseca (CEFET/RJ - UnED-NI), where he is presently a Lecturer of Engineering.
