Book Summary of Wireless Communications
Wireless Communications provides a self-contained all encompassing current treatment of the area and topics covered will include directional channel modelling, multi-user detection, MIMO systems, and 3G standards. In addition, the author has combined mathematical derivations with intuitive explanations of the physical facts in order to help students (including self-study readers) to acquire a deeper understanding of the facts.
