ارتباطات دیجیتال بیش از کانال محو، چاپ دوم Digital Communication over Fading Channels, Second Edition

The four short years since Digital Communication over Fading Channels became an instant classic have seen a virtual explosion of significant new work on the subject, both by the authors and by numerous researchers around the world. Foremost among these is a great deal of progress in the area of transmit diversity and space-time coding and the associated multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) channel. This new edition gathers these and other results, previously scattered throughout numerous publications, into a single convenient and informative volume. Like its predecessor, this Second Edition discusses in detail coherent and noncoherent communication systems as well as a large variety of fading channel models typical of communication links found in the real world. Coverage includes single- and multichannel reception and, in the case of the latter, a large variety of diversity types. The moment generating function (MGF)-based approach for performance analysis, introduced by the authors in the first edition and referred to in literally hundreds of publications, still represents the backbone of the book's presentation. Important features of this new edition include: * An all-new, comprehensive chapter on transmit diversity, space-time coding, and the MIMO channel, focusing on performance evaluation * Coverage of new and improved diversity schemes * Performance analyses of previously known schemes in new and different fading scenarios * A new chapter on the outage probability of cellular mobile radio systems * A new chapter on the capacity of fading channels * And much more Digital Communication over Fading Channels, Second Edition is an indispensable resource for graduate students, researchers investigating these systems, and practicing engineers responsible for evaluating their performance.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1–15): Chapter 2 Fading Channel Characterization and Modeling (pages 17–43): Chapter 3 Types of Communication (pages 45–79): Chapter 4 Alternative Representations of Classical Functions (pages 82–122): Chapter 5 Useful Expressions for Evaluating Average Error Probability Performance (pages 123–167): Chapter 6 New Representations of Some Probability Density and Cumulative Distribution Functions for Correlative Fading Applications (pages 169–185): Chapter 7 Optimum Receivers for Fading Channels (pages 188–222): Chapter 8 Performance of Single?Channel Receivers (pages 223–309): Chapter 9 Performance of Multichannel Receivers (pages 311–635): Chapter 10 Outage Performance of Multiuser Communication Systems (pages 638–680): Chapter 11 Optimum Combining—A Diversity Technique for Communication over Fading Channels in the Presence of Interference (pages 681–734): Chapter 12 Direct?Sequence Code?Division Multiple Access (DS?CDMA) (pages 735–756): Chapter 13 Coded Communication over Fading Channels (pages 758–795): Chapter 14 Multichannel Transmission—Transmit Diversity and Space?Time Coding (pages 797–862): Chapter 15 Capacity of Fading Channels (pages 863–881):
