The rapid advancement of various wireless communication system services has created the need to analyze the possibility of their performance improvement. Introducing the basic principles of digital communications performance analysis and its mathematical formalization, Fading and Interference Mitigation in Wireless Communications will help you stay up to date with recent developments in the performance analysis of space diversity reception over fading channels in the presence of cochannel interference. The book presents a unified method for computing the performance of digital communication systems characterized by a variety of modulation and detection types and channel models. Explaining the necessary concepts of digital communication system design, the book guides you step by step through the basics of performance analysis of digital communication receivers. Supplying you with the tools to perform an accurate performance evaluation of the proposed communication scenarios, the book includes coverage of multichannel reception in various fading environments, influence of cochannel interference, and macrodiversity reception when channels are simultaneously affected by various types of fading and shadowing. It also includes many numerical illustrations of applications that correspond to practical systems. The book presents a large collection of system performance curves to help researchers and system designers perform their own tradeoff studies. The presented collection of system performances will help you perform trade-off studies among the various communication type/drawback combinations in order to determine the optimal choice considering the available constraints. The concepts covered in this book can be useful across a range of applications, including wireless, satellite, terrestrial, and maritime communications. "Preface Professional bodies of note for electrical engineers, such as IET and IEEE, have over 500,000 members worldwide and hold over 3,000 conferences annually. Many of the members of these bodies are interested in advanced digital telecommunications and signal processing. According to latest statistical figures, the United States produces 50,000 electrical engineers in a year as against 70,000 by India and 100,000 by China. Digital telecommunications and signal processing are mandatory subjects at most of the faculties and colleges in these countries. Considering these facts, this book could present itself as a useful literature for introducing some basic principles of digital communications and its mathematical formalization and also for staying updated with the recent developments in the performance analysis of space diversity reception over fading channels in the presence of CCI. Researchers have been studying problems associated with these domains for more than 40 years, and system engineers have used the theoretical and numerical results reported in the literature to guide the design of their systems. In recent years, applications have become increasingly sophisticated, thereby requiring more complex models and improved diversity techniques along with the need to provide performance analyses of the scenarios studied. The primary goal of this book is to present a unified method to provide a set of tools that will allow the system designer to compute"-- Provided by publisher Fading and Interference Mitigation in Wireless Communications will help readers stay up to date with recent developments in the performance analysis of space diversity reception over fading channels in the presence of cochannel interference.
