Fundamentals of Wireless Communication
by David Tse
[size=120%]Fundamentals of Wireless Communication
By David Tse, Pramod Viswanath
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Number Of Pages: 586
Publication Date: 2005-06-27

Book Description:
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.

Summary: The only one of its kind
Rating: 5
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 The usual books in digital communication, especially the industry standard Salehi, have mostly been outdated by this book.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.
Summary: Great Resource for Wireless Communications
Rating: 5
Tse and Viswanath have done an excellent job with this book. The book is organized for graduate students (or practicing engineers) and it is a great resource for wireless communications. It can be easily read with a probability background. The necessary background for information theory is provided as an appendix. The analysis of the topics are easy to follow and the intuition behind the results are provided. I think, it is a must have book for wireless communications (especially if you are working in physical layer).
Summary: It is a well-written book.
Rating: 4
The book is well-written, in general. It tells the whole story: from the beginning, motivation to the way of solving problem.
Summary: A new classic for digital communications
Rating: 5
I'm a Communication Engineering PhD student. I just finished a Wireless course using this text. The subject matter is difficult and abstract. Tse and Viswanath do an outstanding job in interpreting many complex concepts. In fact, there are very few (if any) comparable books that venture in the direction that these authors take. Stephen Wilson's "Digital Modulation and Coding" and David MacKay "Information Theory, Inference & Learning Algorithms" come close. The great digital communications references: Lin and Costello, Wozencraft and Jacobs, Gallager, Proakis, Viterbi and Omura, present material in a very precise academic way with some effort to interpret results. However, none of these classics make the effort that T&V do distilling and communicating the essential concepts from start to finish. This is a talent in itself and T&V has really shown the beauty in this material. However, there is one criticism, the exercises have a high degree of difficulty. It would have better to include some easier warm up problems.
Summary: Good Reference for Communication System Engineer
Rating: 5
It is really a must-have reference if you are doing R&D in communication systems. |
