Preface
Principles of Mobile Communication, third edition, is a major revision of the second edition. Like its earlier editions, this book provides a mathematically rigorous overview of physical layer wireless communications. The basic pedagogic methodology is to include fully detailed derivations from first principles. The text is intended to provide enough principle material to guide the novice student, while at the same time having plenty of detailed material to satisfy graduate students inclined to pursue research in the area. The book is intended to stress the principles of wireless communications that are applicable to a wide array of wireless standards. It is intended to serve as a textbook and reference for graduate students, and a useful reference for practicing engineers.
Organization of the Book Chapter 1 begins with an overview that is intended to introduce a broad array of issues relating to wireless communications. Included is a brief description of the evolution of various wireless standards, the basic concepts of cellular frequency reuse, the land mobile radio propagation environment, link budgets, and coverage and capacity of cellular radio systems. Chapter 2 provides an extensive treatment of radio propagation, since good understanding of the physical wireless channel is essential for the development and deployment of wireless systems. The chapter begins with a treatment of the narrow-band faded envelope for conventional fixed-to-mobile channels found in cellular radio systems, mobile-to-mobile channels found in mobile ad hoc networks, and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels where multiple antennas are used at both the transmitter and receiver to achieve high capacity. After considering the narrow-ban
