Description

Third Generation Wireless Systems, Volume 1: Post-Shannon Signal Architectures offers you an in-depth understanding of the fundamental concepts underlying today’s most advanced wireless architectures, with a special emphasis on physical layer techniques and philosophies used in constructing interference-resistant wireless signals. You find in-depth coverage of a wide range of critical topics, including signal hardening, signal shaping techniques, signal expansion techniques, and active receiver concepts and techniques. A common theoretical framework is developed around the idea of a post-Shannon approach to designing communications systems. In many ways, modern wireless technology is pushing beyond the conventional limits of Claude Shannon’s celebrated "communications theory." Topics like multipath fading and other channel phenomena are viewed in a new light – no longer as simply unavoidable sources of degradation, but as potential resources for additional information and signal robustness. This is the first in a series of leading-edge volumes on next-generation wireless systems and technologies authored by George M. Calhoun.
