MULTIPATH PHENOMENA IN CELLULAR NETWORKS
Ouvrage 1-58053-185-7 : MULTIPATH PHENOMENA IN CELLULAR NETWORKS
Written by two leading experts in the field, this cutting-edge book
introduces you to multipath phenomena, giving you a solid understanding
of this new approach to wireless communications network design. It
provides you with practical recommendations on how to predict multipath
propagation characteristics in space, time and frequency domains for
personal and mobile communication.
Indispensable for practicing mobile communications engineers, designers
and researchers concerned with the operation and servicing of cellular
radio, this unique resource helps you to predict signal-to-noise ratio
in different outdoor communication channels, obtain information about
path loss and slow and fast fading for link budget design, determine how
to position any wireless subscriber in the outdoor scene, and control
the performance of adaptive antennas. The book also summarizes key
aspects of probability theory and statistics to help you overcome the
problems of signal fading and multipath phenomena. Supplemented with
over 125 illustrations and 375 equations, you get practical tools and
algorithms to help you with your wireless communications network design
projects.
