Synopsis:

For one-semester graduate-level Electrical Engineering courses covering simulation-based design and analysis of communication systems, as well as a reference for professional engineers responsible for the design or analysis of communication systems, or professionals who wish to learn computer-based simulation techniques.

This book presents a comprehensive overview of computer-based simulation models and methodologies for communication systems. Because such models are a useful and necessary tool in the design, analysis, and performance of communication systems as well as a means of evaluating design changes in these systems, Principles Of Communication Systems Simulation With Wireless Applications uses MATLAB as a basis for developing effective computer-based simulations. Such simulations are intended to capture the essential features of the system to assure accurate results while minimizing the complexity of the model, ensuring execution of the simulation code in a reasonable amount of time. Among the fundamental topics covered are probability, random, process, and estimation theory and their roles in the design of computer-based simulations.

From the Back Cover:

The hands-on, example-rich guide to modeling and simulating advanced communications systems.

Simulation is an important tool used by engineers to design and implement advanced communication systems that deliver optimal performance. This book is a hands-on, example-rich guide to modeling and simulating advanced communications systems. The authors take a systems-level approach, integrating digital communications, channel modeling, coding, elementary statistical estimation techniques, and other essential facets of modeling and simulation. This is the first book to present complete simulation models built with MATLAB that can serve as virtual laboratories for predicting the impact of system design changes. Coverage includes:

• Role of simulation in communication systems engineering
• Simulation approaches and methodologies
• Signal and system representations, filter models, noise generation, Monte Carlo simulation, and postprocessing
• Advanced techniques for modeling and simulating nonlinear and time-varying systems
• Waveform level and discrete channel models
• Performance estimation via Monte Carlo simulation
• Semianalytic simulation techniques
• Variance reduction techniques
• Co-channel interference in wireless communication systems, and more

The authors also present detailed case studies covering phase-locked loops, CDMA systems, multichannel nonlinear systems, as well as a start-to-finish simulation of an advanced cellular radio system.
