Product Description:



For upper level undergraduate Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Telecommunications or Information Science courses that focus on wireless communications technology, as well as a reference for technicians and other professionals in the wireless industry.Takes a unified and comprehensive approach to introducing the full spectrum of engineering demands across all wireless networks and systems. The book uses examples specifically intended to illustrate the differences in implementing various systems, ranging from cellular voice telephony to wireless Internet access.
A unified foundation for understanding and building any wireless network.

• A true systems approach to wireless networking
• Air interference design and network operation
• Planning, mobility management, radio resources, power management, and security
• 3G, WLANs, HIPERLAN, WATM, Bluetooth, WPAN, OFDM, UWB, wireless geolocation, and more

This is the first book to present a unified common foundation for understanding and building any contemporary wireless network, voice or data—from PCS to wireless LANs, Bluetooth to IMT-2000 3G. Using extensive practical examples, Kaveh Pahlavan and Prashant Krishnamurthy present a true systems approach, illuminating the principles, commonalities, key differences, and specific implementation issues associated with virtually every leading wireless system. Coverage includes:

• Air interference design: wireless medium characteristics, media access, and an exceptionally thorough discussion of physical layer issues
• Wireless network operation: planning, mobility management, radio resources, power management, and security
• Implementation of cellular telephone and mobile data networks based on CDMA, TDMA, and GSM
• Key wideband local access technologies: IEEE 802.11 WLANs, HIPERLAN, and connection-based voice-oriented WATM
• Emerging OFDM and Ultrawideband (UWB) technologies
• Ad hoc networking, Bluetooth, and WPAN
• Wireless geolocation and indoor positioning techniques and systems
• The most detailed discussions of channel characteristics and deployment tools available in any book

Whether you're an electrical engineer, telecommunications/networking specialist, or software professional, Principles of Wireless Networks brings together the insights and techniques you need to begin building any wireless system.

Summary: perfect dispatch
Rating: 5

My confidence in internet purchases has grown very much if I think
that this book has arrived in Italy, Naples, from so far (San Jose CA).
W Internet!
The book is perfect and so all the transaction.

Summary:
Rating: 1

I was waiting for weeks and weeks and finally I did not need the book any more and I canceled the order. Of course, I lost about $20 and never even saw the book! Man was I furious!!!


Summary: An essential guide for telecom engineers
Rating: 4

This book provides one of the most complete and detailed treatments of wireless communications. The coverage is broader than Rappaport's book and contains more detail. This book and the one from Rappaport are essential references to anyone working or doing research in the area.
