Wireless Communications: Principles and Practice, Second Edition is the specific modern text for wireless communications technology and system design. Building on his classic first edition, Theodore the S. Rappaport covers the fundamental issues that affect all wireless networks and reviews virtually every important new wireless standard and technological development, offering especially comprehensive coverage of 3G systems and wireless local area networks (WLANs) to transform communication in the coming years. Rappaport illustrates each key concept with practical examples, thoroughly explained and resolved step by step. Coverage includes:

An overview of the major wireless technologies: voice, data, cordless, paging, fixed and mobile broadband wireless system, and beyond

Wireless system design fundamentals: channel assignment, handoffs, trunking efficiency is, interference, frequency reuse, capacity planning, large-scale fading, and more

Path loss, small-scale fading, multipath, mirrors, diffraction, scattering, the shadowing, spatial-temporal channel modeling, and Microcell / indoor propagation

Modulation, equalization, diversity, channel coding, and speech coding

New wireless LAN technologies: IEEE 802.11a / b, HIPERLAN, BRAN, and other alternatives

New 3G air interface standards, including W-CDMA, cdma2000, GPRS, UMTS, and EDGE
