Overview

"This book provides a tutorial introduction to digital mobile wireless networks, illustrating theoretical underpinnings with a wide range of real-world examples. The book begins with a review of propagation phenomena, and goes on to examine channel allocation, modulation techniques, multiple access schemes: and coding techniques. GSM, 15-136, and IS-95 systems are reviewed and 2.5G and 3G packet-switched systems are discussed in detail, performance analysis and accessing and scheduling techniques are covered, and the book closes with a chapter on wireless LANs and personal-area networks. Many worked examples and homework exercises are provided and a solutions manual is available for instructors." The book is an ideal text for electrical engineering and computer science students taking courses in wireless communications. It will also be an invaluable reference for practicing engineers.

Editorials

From the Publisher

"Schwartz provides an excellent tutorial on modern digital mobile wireless communication systems, including a solid theoretical foundation as well as block diagram descriptions of systems deployed today or planned for the future. Highly recommended."
CHOICE

"[Five stars] I rarely award books top marks, but there is no doubt that this one fully deserves it. If you are looking for one book to both cover wireless fundamentals and give you details of the key wireless systems in use today, I'd strongly recommend this one."
