Third Generation Wireless Communications, Volume 1: Post Shannon Signal Architectures

This handbook examines the fundamental concepts, design techniques, and advanced architectures for tackling critical wireless communication problems such as capacity, error correction, and channel interference. It seeks to help practitioners understand the huge demands being made of existing wireless capacity, and explores the need for a second communications "golden age", in which wireless planners, designers and engineers break down the boundaries established in the communications orthodoxy of Claude Shannon's "communications theory".
