Foundations of Mobile Radio Engineering

This book is a comprehensive survey covering the main topics of mobile radio systems. Concepts considered include the theory of patterns and symmetry and how it impacts hexagonal cell tessellation, long-term fading and log-normal distribution, short-term fading and Rayleigh distribution, indoor propagation and Rice distribution, Suzuki distribution, interleaving and using codes in a Rayleigh environment, and ALOHA protocol and its improved performance in a Rayleigh environment. With practical results, examples, and field measurement problems, the book provides a wealth of information for professionals and students in electrical engineering, communications, networks, and radio systems.
