Introduction to Wireless Systems

**A Coherent Systems View of Wireless and Cellular Network Design and Implementation**Written for senior-level undergraduates, first-year graduate students, and junior technical professionals, **__Introduction to Wireless Systems__** offers a coherent systems view of the crucial lower layers of today’s cellular systems. The authors introduce today’s most important propagation issues, modulation techniques, and access schemes, illuminating theory with real-world examples from modern cellular systems. They demonstrate how elements within today’s wireless systems interrelate, clarify the trade-offs associated with delivering high-quality service at acceptable cost, and demonstrate how systems are designed and implemented by teams of complementary specialists.Coverage includes* Understanding the challenge of moving information wirelessly between two points * Explaining how system and subsystem designers work together to analyze, plan, and implement optimized wireless systems * Designing for quality reception: using the free-space range equation, and accounting for thermal noise * Understanding terrestrial channels and their impairments, including shadowing and multipath reception * Reusing frequencies to provide service over wide areas to large subscriber bases * Using modulation: frequency efficiency, power efficiency, BER, bandwidth, adjacent-channel interference, and spread-spectrum modulation * Implementing multiple access methods, including FDMA, TDMA, and CDMA * Designing systems for today’s most common forms of traffic—both “bursty” and “streaming” * Maximizing capacity via linear predictive coding and other speech compression techniques * Setting up connections that support reliable communication among users **__Introduction to Wireless Systems__** brings together the theoretical and practical knowledge readers need to participate effectively in the planning, design, or implementation of virtually any wireless system.
