Features: This book briefly introduces the concept of cellular systems, analyzes the characteristics of mobile wireless communication environments, compares and evaluates existing wireless communication systems and satellite communication systems, and summarizes some key technologies of mobile communication systems (such as multiple access wireless access, channel coding, channel allocation, multiplexing techniques, etc.). It also introduces network protocols from the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model to TCP/IP protocols to IPv6 in a step-by-step manner. Furthermore, it explores the features and routing protocols of special networks (Ad-hoc), sensory networks, and wireless local area networks (WLAN) and wireless personal area networks (WPAN). Finally, it analyzes and prospects the latest advancements and technological development directions in wireless communication systems, such as ultra-wideband (UWB) technology and Bluetooth networks. For the convenience of readers, the book briefly introduces probability, statistics, and traffic theory. Each chapter includes exercises, which are designed from the perspective of developing potential applications of various technologies. The appendix also provides some feasible simulation projects. The book is rich in content, well-organized, and suitable for students majoring in electrical engineering, computer science and engineering, and electronic communication at universities. It can also serve as a training material for employees in communication companies.
