Book Description

This book explores elements of the theory and practice of digital communications. It will 1) model and study the effects of channel impairments such as distortion, noise, interference, and fading, on the performance of communication systems; 2) introduce signal processing, modulation, and coding techniques that are used in digital communication systems.

This 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.

In doing so it cuts straight to the heart of the digital communication problem, enabling students to learn quickly, intuitively, and with minimal background knowledge. Beginning with the decision problem faced by a decoder and going on to cover receiver designs for different channels, hardware constraints, design trade-offs, convolutional coding, Viterbi decoding, and passband communication, detail is given on system-level design as well as practical applications in engineering.

All of this is supported by numerous worked examples, homework problems, and exercises to aid self-study, providing a solid basis for students to specialize in the field of digital communication and making it suitable for both traditional and flipped classroom teaching.

• 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.

• 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.

• Internet Daemons: Digital Communications Possessed

  This book weaves together history, theory, and policy to give a full account of where daemons come from and how they influence our lives - including their role in hot-button issues like network neutrality.

• Bits, Signals, and Packets: Digital Communications and Networks

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

• Signal Processing for Communications (Paolo Prandoni, et al)

  Taking a novel, less classical approach to the subject, the authors have written this book with the conviction that signal processing should be fun. It builds the foundations for more advanced topics and helping students solve real-world problems.

• Introduction to Data Communications (Eugene Blanchard)

  Provides extensive coverage of a wide range of data communications and networking issues while offering preliminary information on basic electronic communications and telecommunications systems.

• Fundamentals of Wireless Communication (David Tse, et al)

  This textbook takes a unified view of the fundamentals of wireless communication and explains the web of concepts underpinning these advances at a level accessible to an audience with a basic background in probability and digital communication.

• Optical Communication (Narottam Das)

  Optical communication is very much useful in telecommunication systems, data processing and networking. This book presents up to date results on optical communication systems, along with the explanations of their relevance.

• UWB Communication Systems: A Comprehensive Overview

  The aim of this book is to provide an overview of the state of the art of Ultrawideband (UWB) communication systems from theory to applications. It covers the major topics relevant to UWB, includes UWB signal processing, UWB channel measurement and modeling, etc.

• 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.

• Foundations of Machine Learning (Mehryar Mohri, et al)

  This book is a general introduction to machine learning. It covers fundamental modern topics in machine learning while providing the theoretical basis and conceptual tools needed for the discussion and justification of algorithms.
