This book was released on 2003 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the technological foundations of the next generation of wireless networks for the mobile Internet. It places special emphasis on physical layer techniques and philosophies used in constructing interference-resistant wireless signals. A theoretical framework is developed around the idea of a post-Shannon approach to designing communications systems, viewing channel phenomena not as sources of degradation but as potential resources for additional information and signal robustness. Calhoun has worked in the wireless industry since 1980. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
