Book Description

The past decade has seen many
advances in physical-layer wireless communication theory and their
implementation in wireless systems. This textbook takes a unified view
of the fundamentals of wireless communication and explains the web of
concepts underpinning these advances at a level accessible to an
audience with a basic background in probability and digital
communication. Topics covered include MIMO (multiple input multiple
output) communication, space-time coding, opportunistic communication,
OFDM and CDMA. The concepts are illustrated using many examples
from  wireless systems such as GSM, IS-95 (CDMA), IS-856(1xEV-DO),
Flash OFDM and ArrayComm SDMA systems. Particular emphasis is placed on
the interplay between concepts and their implementation in systems. An
abundant supply of exercises and figures reinforce the material in the
text. This book is intended for use on graduate courses in electrical
and computer engineering and will also be of great interest to
practicing engineers.
