Introduction to Wireless Systems BY BRUCE A BLACK DAVID R VOLTMER

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.
