Fundamentals of Wireless Communication
The past decade has seen many advances in physical-layer wireless communi-
cation 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 (1× EV-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.
