Fundamentals of Wireless Communication

Описание

xvi Preface
• Chapter 2: basic properties of multipath wireless channels and their modeling (level 1).
• Chapter 3: point-to-point communication techniques that increase reliability
by exploiting time, frequency and spatial diversity (2).
• Chapter 4: cellular system design via a case study of three systems, focusing
on multiple access and interference management issues (3).
• Chapter 5: point-to-point communication revisited from a more fundamental
capacity point of view, culminating in the modern concept of opportunistic
communication (2).
• Chapter 6: multiuser capacity and opportunistic communication, and its
application in a third-generation wireless data system (3).
• Chapter 7: MIMO channel modeling (1).
• Chapter 8: MIMO capacity and architectures (2).
• Chapter 9: diversity–multiplexing tradeoff and space-time code design (2).
• Chapter 10: MIMO in multiuser channels and cellular systems (3).
How to use this book
This book is written as a textbook for a first-year graduate course in wireless
communication. The expected background is solid undergraduate/beginning
graduate courses in signals and systems, probability and digital communication. This background is supplemented by the two appendices in the book.
Appendix A summarizes some basic facts in vector detection and estimation
in Gaussian noise which are used repeatedly throughout the book. Appendix B
covers the underlying information theory behind the channel capacity results
used in this book. Even though information theory has played a significant
role in many of the recent developments in wireless communication, in the
main text we only introduce capacity results in a heuristic manner and use
them mainly to motivate communication concepts and techniques. No background in information theory is assumed. The appendix is intended for the
reader who wants to have a more in-depth and unified understanding of the
capacity results.
At Berkeley and Urbana-Champaign, we have used earlier versions of this
book to teach one-semester (15 weeks) wireless communication courses. We
have been able to cover most of the materials in Chapters 1 through 8 and
parts of 9 and 10. Depending on the background of the students and the time
available, one can envision several other ways to structure a course around
this book. Examples:
• A senior level advanced undergraduate course in wireless communication:
Chapters 2, 3, 4.
• An advanced graduate course for students with background in wireless
channels and systems: Chapters 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
