Fundamentals of Wireless Communication by David Tse (PDF)

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.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review “Tse and Viswanath achieve remarkable clarity in combining sound theoretical development, simple insights, and current practice into an integrated whole. Fundamentals of Wireless Communication will quickly become a classic, serving both as a reference and a textbook built on firm principles.” Professor Robert G. Gallager, MIT”Fundamentals of Wireless Communication is a terrific introduction to principles of physical-layer design for state-of-the-art wireless systems. It is a wonderful and much-needed resource for new graduate students and practicing professionals alike. Tse and Viswanath have written a text of enduring value.” Professor Gregory W. Wornell, MIT”Fundamentals of Wireless Communication is a unique combination of engineering insight, theoretical vision and systems experience. This is the text I use to explain to graduate students how they should think about fading channels.” Professor Robert Calderbank, Princeton University”David Tse and Pramod Viswanath have succeeded in developing a superb textbook covering the field of modern wireless communications. The book, Fundamentals of Wireless Communication, truly covers the fundamentals of a wireless system design and incorporates a lucid exposition of the most recent advances such as MIMO and opportunistic communication. The results are derived with exceeding clarity and often linked to an information theoretical framework, thus providing the reader with a clear understanding of optimal design choices for both point-to-point and multiple access wireless communication… this textbook will be extremely valuable not only to graduate students pursuing research in wireless systems but also to engineering professionals who have the task of designing and developing future wireless technologies.” Dr. Roberto Padovani, Qualcomm Inc.“This is a book written by academics, primarily for graduate courses. The style fits that role perfectly. It is predominantly mathematical, often using the maths as part of the way to describe a concept. However, it is an improvement over many graduate texts. The style of writing is open and relaxed. There are many real world examples explaining how concepts are related in 2G and 3G systems. The use of illustrations is excellent and there are copious exercises at the end of each chapter…I think that as a graduate text this would be truly excellent.” William Webb, IEE Communications Engineer”The book Fundamentals of Wireless Communication, written by David Tse and Pramod Viswanath, presents a very good summary of the concepts and techniques used for the physical layer of radio networks that have emerged mainly during the last 10 years. The first chapters introduce wireless fading channels, diversity, multiple access, and interference management. The second part of the book covers the topic of multiple antennas, especially MIMO systems, with the authors concentrating on spectral efficiency and bit error probability…I strongly recommend this book for graduate students taking a course in wireless systems. The first four chapters can be recommended for use in an undergraduate course in wireless communications as well.” IEEE Communications Magazine Book Description A unified view of the fundamentals of wireless communication for graduate students and practising engineers. Book Description This textbook takes a unified view of the fundamentals of wireless communication and explains cutting-edge concepts in a simple and intuitive way. An abundant supply of exercises make it ideal for graduate courses in electrical and computer engineering and it will also be of great interest to practising engineers.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐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.

⭐I bought it at the price of used book (around half price of new one). There is just a remainder mark on the side. Except for that, it is like a new book. This book itself is a classical textbook for graduate students who work in the area of wireless communication. It may not cover all details of every technologies, but it does provide a clear picture and more importantly, it unifies many different technologies in one framework. So you can have a deeper understanding and appreciate more.

⭐Engineering is neither a technical process nor an artistic one. It is a very special kind of philosophical activity whereby one willingly places his or her mind and imagination inside a psychological straight jacket. Davide Tse and his partner really get this. Even though their source material comes from those who utterly do not, these guys do a remarkable resurrection job.

⭐Chapters 7, 8 and v good.Appendix also useful.Easy readability.How each topic changes from AWGN to fading channels is well explained.

⭐Compares well with the classics:1) Gallagher2) Wozencraft & Jacobs3) O & S (Signal processing)This is how text books ought to be written. Also, David Tse was key in developing the multiuser diversity concepts at QCOM. Hence – the book also has good engineering isights.

⭐Good quality of the product-completely satisfied

⭐Print quality is very bad! I had this book before and printing was very different. This one seems thicker and larger, paper feels cheap.

⭐Good

⭐Whenever I need to refresh a wireless concept in a relatively easy manner, I always go back to this book.

⭐This is probably the most well written introductory text to communication theory. It is written in a layman style making it accessible to almost anyone in senior undergraduate or graduate studies.

⭐a must reading book for postgraduate students doing EE

⭐Kindle format display very SMALL equations. Difficult to read on paperwhite.Kindle for PC: equations are fine. I bought kindle edition to read on Kindle Paper white. What’s the point of reading on PC/Laptop when I have Paperwhite Touch? (I had already bought paperback in 2006. The issue with paper book is that it is huge, small fonts and not as readable as bookerly font. You also cannot carry it everywhere.)About the content of the book: Nothing beats it even today!

⭐Estoy realizando el doctorado en Telecomunicaciones con investigaciones en el ámbito de comunicaciones inalámbricas (estimación de canal, MIMO-OFDM, etc.). No encontraba ningún libro que me resolviera dudas “básicas” dando un tratamiento suficientemente formal.Este libro saca todas las ecuaciones desde cero, partiendo de modelos simplificados de cómo rebotan las ondas, etc. Con simplificaciones fáciles de seguir, te ayudan a entender los fundamentos físico-matemáticos de las comunicaciones inalámbricas. Es un libro imprescindible si vas a investigar algo sobre el tema o te vas a dedicar profesionalmente a ello. Además, está muy bien explicado y lleno de ejemplos. El libro comienza con los aspectos básicos (transmisión de ondas, estimación de canal, diversidad en tiempo/frecuencia/antenas, sistemas celulares) y, más adelante, repasa en profundidad MIMO durante cuatro temas.Creo que este manual te dará las herramientas básicas para luego entender “papers” y seguir investigando. Eso sí, su tratamiento de los temas es muy formal y matemático. Si lo que quieres es un libro para entender por encima el vocabulario y escribir artículos en prensa general (por ejemplo, porque seas periodista), este no es tu libro. Si lo que quieres es entender de verdad los fundamentos de las comunicaciones inalámbricas, este sí es tu libro. Ideal para estudios de posgrado/doctorado en telecomunicaciones.
