Focusing on the fundamentals of wireless communications and networking, this text gives the reader an overview of the salient features of first and second generation wireless cellular systems, and those perceived for the third generation. It identifies the problems that cause information loss in point-to-point signal transmission through the wireless channel, and discusses techniques suitable for minimizing the information loss. The text covers wireless communications in a cellular setting, treating the ramifications in terms of capacity maximization, support for multi-user transmissions, mobility management to facilitate user roaming, and global information delivery through wireless/wireline interworking.

From the Back Cover:

Wireless Communications and Networking covers a wide range of topics from the physical layer to the networking layers of a hybrid wireless/wireline information transport platform.

The coverage of internetworking between wireless and wireline networks is unique to this book. The fundamental aspects of mobile cellular communications and networking (signal design, channel characterization, receiver structure, multiple access technologies, mobile cellular networking, capacity enlargement, mobility management, wireless/wireline interworking) are interweaved into a unified and systematic presentation, with illustrative examples throughout the book.
