Product Description All relevant components of a mobile radio system, from digital modulation techniques over channel coding through to network aspects, are determined by the propagation characteristics of the channel. Therefore, a precise knowledge of mobile radio channels is crucial for the development, evaluation and test of current and future mobile radio communication systems. This volume deals with the modelling, analysis, and simulation of mobile fading channels and provides a fundamental understanding of many issues that are currently being investigated in the area of mobile fading channel modelling. The author strongly emphasises the detailed derivation of the presented channel models and conveys a high degree of mathematical unity to the reader. * Introduces the fundamentals of stochastic and deterministic channel models * Features the modelling and simulation of frequency-nonselective fading channels (Rayleigh channels, Rice channels, generalized Rice channels, Nakagami channels, various types of Suzuki channels, classical and modified Loo model) * Presents the modelling and simulation of frequency-selective fading channels (WSSUS models, DGUS models, channel models according to COST 207) * Discusses the methods used for the design and realization of efficient channel simulators * Examines the design, realization, and analysis of fast channel simulators * Includes MATLABâ programs for the evaluation and simulation of mobile fading channels MATLABâ is a registered trademark of The MathWorks, Inc. Telecommunication engineers, computer scientists, and physicists will all find this text both informative and instructive. It is also be an indispensable reference for postgraduate and senior undergraduate students of telecommunication and electrical engineering. | ||

Very dry.. explains no concepts despite the 5***s given above, this is a very dry book and does not explain any concept. The text is overwhelmed with equations and it keeps dragging into too much of mathmatical derivations. I read the book trying to understand some basic models for short fading but unfortionatley could not get much out of it. It's a kind of a research paper style rather than an academic text. The two stars are given for the completness of the derivations of each model. My advise is that you read this book if you are looking for a thourough anaylsis and derivationsn of mobile channel models, but not if you want to clearly understand those models. regards | ||
Just about the best book on the subject The book is very well written, and gives you all the information all at one place. The theoretical treatment of the subject, which is my primary interest, is the most complete and accessible of all the books/papers that i've come across. | ||
A Must-Have for Students and Engineers This is the first book that really makes me understand the concept and simulation techniques of fading channels. The author explains everything clearly, (at least, fills me with what I can't figure out from other books), provides proofs that are usually skipped in other books, and makes all the contexts easy to follow. It is a pleasure to read this book from cover to cover. | ||
