Features: The book covers the significant characteristics of first and second-generation wireless cellular systems, the main features of third-generation wireless systems, the characteristics of wireless channels, bandpass transmission techniques, receiving techniques, the fundamental principles of cellular systems, multiple access technologies, mobility management, and the interconnection between wireless front-ends and Internet Protocol-based backbone networks. The most prominent feature of this book is its detailed introduction to the interconnection of wired and wireless networks. This book is suitable as a textbook for senior undergraduate students or early graduate students in electronic, information, communication, and computer-related fields at universities. Through studying this book, readers can master the basic theories of wireless communication and the main technologies of wireless/wired network interconnection. This textbook is also an excellent reference book for teaching in related fields. The book covers most of the content from the physical layer to the network layer of wireless/wired hybrid information transmission platforms. The content on the interconnection of wired and wireless networks is the unique feature of this book. The entire book weaves together the fundamental concepts of cellular mobile communication and networking (signal design, channel characteristics, receiver structure, multiple access techniques, mobile cellular networks, system capacity enhancement, mobility management, wireless/wired network interconnection) in a unified and systematic manner, accompanied by numerous illustrative examples. This book is suitable as a textbook for senior undergraduate students and first-year graduate students, used in a short but complete, self-contained one-semester course.
