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
