This book investigates the analytical framework and hybrid precoding scheme in millimeter-wave networks. Millimeter-wave communication is a frontier technology for supporting ultra-high data rate transmissions in future wireless networks due to larger bandwidth and higher spectral efficiency. However, the involved interference characterization and increased energy consumption are two dominant limitations in millimeter-wave network evolution. In this monograph, we develop a unified analytical framework for large-scale millimeter-wave communication networks, which leads to abundant network design insights and guidelines. Under this framework, we design low-complexity hybrid precoding algorithms for millimeter-wave systems, which greatly reduce energy consumption without obvious performance degradation. We would like to highlight that we develop a unified analytical framework and low-complexity hybrid precoding mechanisms for millimeter-wave communication networks, where a variety of millimeter-wave properties and hardware constraints are incorporated. The developed mechanisms can provide abundant insights and guidelines for the hybrid precoding design and analysis in millimeter-wave communication networks. Graduate students, researchers, and engineers in the field of communication networks can benefit from the book.

This book presents a comprehensive framework for the theoretical analysis of space-air-ground networks using stochastic geometry. This analytical approach is indispensable for evaluating the performance of large-scale space-air-ground networks, which serve as critical facilitators for the advancement of the sixth-generation wireless communication aimed at providing high-speed broadband coverage for remote areas. By incorporating the features of topology and channel model in different tiers, this book investigates the key performance metrics in terms of load balancing, coverage assessment, and mobility management. The developed mechanisms provide effective design insights for space-air-ground networks while obviating the need for complex system-level simulations.
