About this book:
The second edition of this internationally respected textbook puts readers fully in touch with the myriad developments in wireless communications. When first published in 1995, wireless communications were synonyms of cell phones. Wireless information networks are now the most important technology in all telecommunication industries. Readers can learn about the latest applications in areas such as ad hoc sensor networks, home networks and wireless positioning.
Wireless Information Networks adopts a systems engineering approach: technical issues are presented in the context of how they fit into the continued development of new systems and services as well as recent developments in national and international spectrum and assignment standards. The authors have organized the myriad of current and emerging wireless technologies into logical categories:
* Introduction to wireless networks presents a discussion so far of the evolution of the cellular industry of analog cellular technology to 2G, 3G and 4G, as well as the emergence of WLAN and WPAN as ad hoc broadband networks
* Features of radio propagation includes new channel modeling coverage for space-time, MIMO and UWB communications and wireless geolocation networks
* Modem Design offers new descriptions of space-time coding, MIMO antenna systems, UWB communications and multi-user interference detection and cancellation techniques used in CDMA networks.
* Network Access and System Aspects incorporates new chapters on UWB systems and RF geo-locations, with a comprehensive review of wireless access techniques and wireless standards and systems
Exercises that focus on real-world problems are provided at the end of each chapter. The task mix, which includes computer projects and questionnaires in addition to traditional problem sets, helps readers focus on key issues and develop the skills they need to solve real engineering problems. Extensive references are provided for those readers who wish to explore particular topics in greater depth.
With its emphasis on building knowledge to solve problems, this is an excellent postgraduate textbook. Like the previous edition, this latest edition will also be a standard reference for the telecommunications industry.
