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 unifi ed view of the fundamentals of wireless communication and explains the web of co ncepts underpinning these advances at a level accessible to an audience with a b asic background in probability and digital communication. Topics covered include MIMO (multiple input multiple output) communication, space-time coding, opportu nistic communication, OFDM and CDMA. The concepts are illustrated using many exa mples from wireless systems such as GSM, IS-95 (CDMA), IS-856(1xEV-DO), Flash O FDM and ArrayComm SDMA systems. Particular emphasis is placed on the interplay b etween concepts and their implementation in systems. An abundant supply of exerc ises and figures reinforce the material in the text. This book is intended for u se on graduate courses in electrical and computer engineering and will also be o f great interest to practicing engineers. Reviews Errata Updated as of Feb 18, 2010.
