Book Description

This book is an introduction to several fundamental ideas in electrical engineering and computer science, using digital communication systems as the vehicle. The three parts of the course - bits, signals, and packets - cover three corresponding layers of abstraction relevant to the system:

• binary representation, compression (source coding), and error correction (channel coding) for messages transmitted across a noisy link;
• signal representation of binary messages for transmission across a shared physical channel subject to distortion and noise;
• efficient, reliable communication across networks made up of multiple links.

• A Foundation in Digital Communication (Amos Lapidoth)

  This book is an intuitive yet rigorous introduction deriving the core results of digital communication from first principles, whilst theory, rather than industry standards, motivates the engineering approaches.

• Principles of Digital Communication (Robert G. Gallager)

  The book begins with data compression for arbitrary sources. It then describes how to modulate the resulting binary data for transmission over wires, cables, optical fibers, and wireless channels.

• Principles of Digital Communications (Tuan Do-Hong)

  Comprehensive and accessible text teaches the fundamentals of digital communication, specifically formulated for a one-semester course. The unique approach focuses on the transmission problem and develops knowledge of receivers before transmitters.

• Computer Networks From Scratch (Seth Archer Brown)

  This book is a tour of the inner workings of the biggest computer network of them all -- the internet. We'll start from scratch assuming no prior networking knowledge. It is filled with helpful hand drawn illustrations to guide the way.

• Computer Networking Fundamentals (Rinku Kumar Sharma)

  This is the best Ebook for complete networking fundamental. All topic included with deep Explanation. It will help you become well versed in basic networking concepts and prepare to pass Microsoft's MTA Networking Fundamentals Exam 98-366.

• An Introduction to Computer Networks (Peter L. Dordal)

  This is a general-purpose textbook about computer networking, complete with diagrams and exercises. It presents basic principles and concepts, along with examples to illustrate how the principles can either enable or neutralize exploits.

• Computer Networking: Principles, Protocols and Practice

  Building on the successful top-down approach, this book focuses on describing emerging principles in a lively and engaging manner and then illustrate these principles with examples drawn from Internet architecture.

• Computer Networks: A Systems Approach (Larry Peterson, et al)

  This book explores the key principles of computer networking, with examples drawn from the real world of network and protocol design, uses systems oriented approach to view how individual network components fit into a larger, complex system of interactions.

• Network Science (Albert-László Barabási)

  Illustrated throughout in full colour, this pioneering textbook, spanning a wide range of topics from physics to computer science, engineering, economics and the social sciences, introduces network science to an interdisciplinary audience.

• Mobile Edge Computing (Yan Zhang)

  This open access book offers comprehensive, self-contained knowledge on Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), which is a very promising technology for achieving intelligence in the next-generation wireless communications and computing networks.

• Introduction to Networking: How the Internet Works

  This book demystifies the amazing architecture and protocols of computers as they communicate over the Internet. While very complex, the Internet operates on a few relatively simple concepts that anyone can understand.

• Computer Networks: Performance and Quality of Service

  This book opinions modern computer CPA networks with a particular give attention to performance and quality of support, focuses on basic concepts that are attractive to practitioners interested in the actual "whys" behind encountered networking engineering.

• Introduction to Networking Technologies (Burnie Blakeley)

  This book describes a sampling of technologies of various types, by using a tutorial approach. It compares the technologies available in the three major technology areas: application support, transport networks, and subnetworking.

• Networking Services: QoS, Signaling, Processes (Harry Perros)

  This book has been structured around the Next Generation Network (NGN) framework, which separates the transport network, services, and signaling protocols into the service stratum and the transport stratum.
