Fundamentals of Wireless Communication

Description:

About this item:

The past decade has seen many advances in physical layer wireless communication theory and their implementation in wireless systems. This textbook takes a unified view of the fundamentals of wireless communication and explains the web of concepts underpinning these advances at a level accessible to an audience with a basic background in probability and digital communication. Topics covered include MIMO (multi-input, multi-output) communication, space-time coding, opportunistic communication, OFDM and CDMA. The concepts are illustrated using many examples from real wireless systems such as GSM, IS-95 (CDMA), IS-856 (1 x EV-DO), Flash OFDM and UWB (ultra-wideband). Particular emphasis is placed on the interplay between concepts and their implementation in real systems. An abundant supply of exercises and figures reinforce the material in the text. This book is intended for use on graduate courses in electrical and computer engineering and will also be of great interest to practising engineers.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Tse and Viswanath achieve remarkable clarity in combining sound theoretical development, simple insights, and current practice into an integrated whole. Fundamentals of Wireless Communication will quickly become a classic, serving both as a reference and a textbook built on firm principles."
Professor Robert G. Gallager, MIT

"Fundamentals of Wireless Communication is a terrific introduction to principles of physical-layer design for state-of-the-art wireless systems. It is a wonderful and much-needed resource for new graduate students and practicing professionals alike. Tse and Viswanath have written a text of enduring value."
Professor Gregory W. Wornell, MIT

"Fundamentals of Wireless Communication is a unique combination of engineering insight, theoretical vision and systems experience. This is the text I use to explain to graduate students how they should think about fading channels."
Professor Robert Calderbank, Princeton University

"David Tse and Pramod Viswanath have succeeded in developing a superb textbook covering the field of modern wireless communications. The book, Fundamentals of Wireless Communication, truly covers the fundamentals of a wireless system design and incorporates a lucid exposition of the most recent advances such as MIMO and opportunistic communication. The results are derived with exceeding clarity and often linked to an information theoretical framework, thus providing the reader with a clear understanding of optimal design choices for both point-to-point and multiple access wireless communication... this textbook will be extremely valuable not only to graduate students pursuing research in wireless systems but also to engineering professionals who have the task of designing and developing future wireless technologies."
Dr. Roberto Padovani, Qualcomm Inc.

This is a book written by academics, primarily for graduate courses. The style fits that role perfectly. It is predominantly mathematical, often using the maths as part of the way to describe a concept. However, it is an improvement over many graduate texts. The style of writing is open and relaxed. There are many real world examples explaining how concepts are related in 2G and 3G systems. The use of illustrations is excellent and there are copious exercises at the end of each chapter…I think that as a graduate text this would be truly excellent.
William Webb, IEE Communications Engineer

"The book Fundamentals of Wireless Communication, written by David Tse and Pramod Viswanath, presents a very good summary of the concepts and techniques used for the physical layer of radio networks that have emerged mainly during the last 10 years. The first chapters introduce wireless fading channels, diversity, multiple access, and interference management. The second part of the book covers the topic of multiple antennas, especially MIMO systems, with the authors concentrating on spectral efficiency and bit error probability...I strongly recommend this book for graduate students taking a course in wireless systems. The first four chapters can be recommended for use in an undergraduate course in wireless communications as well."

5.0 out of 5 stars The only one of its kind

v. · April 13, 2007

This actually is the only book that presents a treatment of wireless communincations in throughly rigorous way, and yet does not loose touch with practice. The usual books in digital communication, especially the industry standard Salehi, have mostly been outdated by this book.I have done coursework with Viswanath, and was one of the students on which the initial drafts of this books was "tried and tested." Viswanath has few equals in his research area (which itself he keeps expanding), and consistently amazes everyone with how closely he is in touch with what the industry is doing. This is reflected throughout the book.The book can be reqd with the standard prereqs - a good understanding of undergraduate to first year graduate probability is required understand anything in communications theory, so that goes without saying. Some parts of the book will carry more juice for people who have a good knowledge of information theory, but Tse & Viswanath include a beautifully written appendix for people without this knowledge. The appendix is worth reading by itself, even for people who have taken courses in information theory before! The chapter that compares various wireless systems alone is worth the price of the book.As another reviewer pointed out, the exercises are not all simple. These were given in a homework setting, and there were TA's to assist people with the problems. They may be a little hard to solve alone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good addition to the comms library

M. · March 9, 2023

Good companion to older standard books like Proakis and Sklar. Covers a lot of modern topics older books lack or topics typically requiring you to seek out obscure and dense reference books. Covers impressive breadth and depth of subjects, for example MIMO. Writing is clear and easy to follow. Recommended for both academic use and the working comms engineer. Also huge kudos to Cambridge University Press who seem to be able to publish excellent hardcover textbooks that are affordable and aren't approaching 300 dollars a pop.

4.0 out of 5 stars Concise, MIMO & BER/SNR waterfall curves well writen

H. · November 20, 2012

Chapters 7, 8 and v good.Appendix also useful.Easy readability.How each topic changes from AWGN to fading channels is well explained.

5.0 out of 5 stars very new just like described

M.Z. · June 25, 2013

I bought it at the price of used book (around half price of new one). There is just a remainder mark on the side. Except for that, it is like a new book. This book itself is a classical textbook for graduate students who work in the area of wireless communication. It may not cover all details of every technologies, but it does provide a clear picture and more importantly, it unifies many different technologies in one framework. So you can have a deeper understanding and appreciate more.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best

R. · May 28, 2010

Compares well with the classics:1) Gallagher2) Wozencraft & Jacobs3) O & S (Signal processing)This is how text books ought to be written. Also, David Tse was key in developing the multiuser diversity concepts at QCOM. Hence - the book also has good engineering isights.

Good

A truly classic

S.S. · September 13, 2021

This book represents the cutting edge of the fundamentals of wireless communication, presented in an easy to digest format. If authors were added full derivation of the equations then it would become a single source for understanding Wireless Communication by both ways theoretically and practically

One main point of view in wireless communications.

F.H. · March 18, 2021

Whenever I need to refresh a wireless concept in a relatively easy manner, I always go back to this book.

The best in Wireless

Absolutely one of the best books in Wireless communication

El mejor libro sobre comunicaciones inalámbricas para estudios de posgrado/doctorado

a. · May 19, 2016

Estoy realizando el doctorado en Telecomunicaciones con investigaciones en el ámbito de comunicaciones inalámbricas (estimación de canal, MIMO-OFDM, etc.). No encontraba ningún libro que me resolviera dudas "básicas" dando un tratamiento suficientemente formal.Este libro saca todas las ecuaciones desde cero, partiendo de modelos simplificados de cómo rebotan las ondas, etc. Con simplificaciones fáciles de seguir, te ayudan a entender los fundamentos físico-matemáticos de las comunicaciones inalámbricas. Es un libro imprescindible si vas a investigar algo sobre el tema o te vas a dedicar profesionalmente a ello. Además, está muy bien explicado y lleno de ejemplos. El libro comienza con los aspectos básicos (transmisión de ondas, estimación de canal, diversidad en tiempo/frecuencia/antenas, sistemas celulares) y, más adelante, repasa en profundidad MIMO durante cuatro temas.Creo que este manual te dará las herramientas básicas para luego entender "papers" y seguir investigando. Eso sí, su tratamiento de los temas es muy formal y matemático. Si lo que quieres es un libro para entender por encima el vocabulario y escribir artículos en prensa general (por ejemplo, porque seas periodista), este no es tu libro. Si lo que quieres es entender de verdad los fundamentos de las comunicaciones inalámbricas, este sí es tu libro. Ideal para estudios de posgrado/doctorado en telecomunicaciones.
