The Complete Introduction to Designing and Implementing New Wireless Communications Systems Introduction to Wireless Systems presents a coherent, up-to-the-minute, systems engineering view of cellular systems for every practitioner and student. The authors systematically introduce today's most important propagation issues, modulation techniques, and access schemes, illuminating theory with real-world examples from modern cellular telephone systems. They show how the elements of today's wireless communications systems interrelate, clarify the tradeoffs associated with delivering high-quality service at acceptable cost, and demonstrate how systems are designed and implemented by teams of complementary specialists. Coverage includes ·ï¾ ï¾ ï¾ How system and subsystem designers work together to analyze, plan, and implement optimized wireless systems ·ï¾ ï¾ ï¾ Designing for quality reception: using the free-space range equation, and accounting for thermal noise ·ï¾ ï¾ ï¾ Understanding terrestrial channels and their impairments, including shadowing and multipath reception ·ï¾ ï¾ ï¾ Reusing frequencies to provide service over wide areas to large subscriber bases ·ï¾ ï¾ ï¾ Using modulation: frequency efficiency, power efficiency, BER, bandwidth, adjacent-channel interference, and spread-spectrum modulation ·ï¾ ï¾ ï¾ Implementing multiple access methods, including FDMA, TDMA, and CDMA ·ï¾ ï¾ ï¾ Designing systems for today's most common forms of trafficï¾both “bursty” and “streaming” ·ï¾ ï¾ ï¾ Maximizing capacity via linear predictive coding and other speech compression techniques ·ï¾ ï¾ ï¾ Setting up connections that support reliable communication amongst users Whatever your technical role, Introduction to Wireless Systems brings together the theoretical and practical knowledge you'll need to successfully help plan, design, or implement any wireless system.
