This book is for designers and would-be designers of digital
communication systems. The general approach of this book is to
extract the common principles underlying a range of media and
applications and present them in a unified framework. Digital
Communication is relevant to the design of a variety of systems,
including voice and video digital cellular telephone, digital CATV
distribution, wireless LANs, digital subscriber loop, metallic
Ethernet, voiceband data modems, and satellite communication
systems.
New in this Third Edition:
New material on recent advances in wireless communications,
error-control coding, and multi-user communications has been added.
As a result, two new chapters have been added, one on the theory of
MIMO channels, and the other on diversity techniques for mitigating
fading.
Error-control coding has been rewritten to reflect the current
state of the art.
Chapters 6 through 9 from the Second Edition have been
reorganized and streamlined to highlight pulse-amplitude
modulation, becoming the new Chapters 5 through 7.
Readability is increased by relegating many of the more detailed
derivations to appendices and exercise solutions, both of which are
included in the book.
Exercises, problems, and solutions have been revised and
expanded.
Three chapters from the previous edition have been moved to the
booka (TM)s Web site to make room for new material.
This book is ideal as a first-year graduate textbook, and is
essential to many industry professionals. The book is attractive to
both audiences through the inclusion of many practical examples and
a practical flavor in the choice of topics.
Digital Communicationhas a Web site at: http:

additional information from the Second Edition, other supplementary
materials, useful links, a problem solutions manual, and
errata.
