Four short years since Digital Communication over Fading Channels became an instant classic have seen a virtual explosion of significant new work on the subject, both by writers and by many researchers around the world. Like its predecessor, this Second Edition discusses in detail coherent and coherent communication systems and various fading channel models typical of communication links found in the real world. Important features of this new edition includes: A chapter, all-new, comprehensive on transmit diversity, space-time coding and MIMO channel, with a focus on performance evaluation of new coverage and increase the diversity analysis schemesPerformance previously known schemes in new and different fading scenariosA new chapter on the outage probability of cellular mobile radio system A new chapter on the capacity fade is much more channelsAnd Digital Communication over Fading Channels, Second Edition is an indispensable resource for graduate students, researchers investigating these systems, and practicing engineers responsible for evaluating their performance.
