Fundamentals of Wireless Communication
Description
Wireless communication is one of the most vibrant areas in the communication field today.While it has been a topic of study since the 1960s, the past decade has seen a surge of research activities in the area.The writingof this book was prompted by two main developments in wireless communication in the past decade. First is the huge surge of research activities in physical layer wireless communication theory.While this has been a subject of study since the sixties, recent developments such as opportunistic andmultiple input multiple output (MIMO) communication techniques have brought completely newperspectives on how to communicate over wireless channels.Second is the rapid evolution of wireless systems, particularly cellular networks, which embody communication concepts of increasing sophistication.This evolution started with second-generation digital standards, particularly the IS-95CodeDivisionMultipleAccess standard, continuing tomore recent third-generation systems focusing on data applications. This book aims to present modern wireless communication concepts in a coherent and unified manner and to illustrate the concepts in the broader context of the wireless systems on which they have been applied.
