Towards location aware mobile ad hoc sensors
A Systems Engineering Approach to Wireless Information Networks
The Second Edition of this internationally respected textbook
brings readers fully up to date with the myriad of developments in
wireless communications. When first published in 1995, wireless
communications was synonymous with cellular telephones. Now
wireless information networks are the most important technology in
all branches of telecommunications. Readers can learn about the
latest applications in such areas as ad hoc sensor networks, home
networking, and wireless positioning.
Wireless Information Networks takes a systems engineering approach:
technical topics are presented in the context of how they fit into
the ongoing development of new systems and services, as well as the
recent developments in national and international spectrum
allocations and standards. The authors have organized the myriad of
current and emerging wireless technologies into logical categories:
* Introduction to Wireless Networks presents an up-to-the-moment
discussion of the evolution of the cellular industry from analog
cellular technology to 2G, 3G, and 4G, as well as the emergence of
WLAN and WPAN as broadband ad hoc networks
* Characteristics of Radio Propagation includes new coverage of
channel modeling for space-time, MIMO, and UWB communications and
wireless geolocation networks
* Modem Design offers new descriptions of space-time coding, MIMO
antenna systems, UWB communications, and multi-user detection and
interference cancellation techniques used in CDMA networks
* Network Access and System Aspects incorporates new chapters on
UWB systems and RF geolocations, with a thorough revision of
wireless access techniques and wireless systems and standards
Exercises that focus on real-world problems are provided at the end
of each chapter. The mix of assignments, which includes computer
projects and questionnaires in addition to traditional problem
sets, helps readers focus on key issues and develop the skills they
need to solve actual engineering problems. A separate Instructor's
Manual is available that includes a solution book and supporting
material for preparing class presentations. Extensive references
are provided for those readers who would like to explore particular
topics in greater depth.
With its emphasis on knowledge-building to solve problems, this is
an excellent graduate-level textbook. Like the previous edition,
this latest edition will also be a standard reference for the
telecommunications industry.
An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the
problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial
department.
