This book introduces the theoretical elements at the basis of
various classes of algorithms commonly employed in the physical
layer (and, in part, in MAC layer) of wireless communications
systems. It focuses on single user systems, so ignoring multiple
access techniques. Moreover, emphasis is put on single-input
single-output (SISO) systems, although some relevant topics about
multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems are also illustrated.
* Comprehensive wireless specific guide to algorithmic
techniques
* Provides a detailed analysis of channel equalization and
channel coding for wireless applications
* Unique conceptual approach focusing in single user systems
* Covers algebraic decoding, modulation techniques, channel
coding and channel equalisation
