Simulation of Communication Systems: Modeling, Methodology and Techniques (Information Technology: Transmission, Processing and Storage)

By Michel C. JeruchimPhilip BalabanK Sam Shanmugan, et al.

Book Overview

Since the first edition of this book was published seven years ago, the field of modeling and simulation of communication systems has grown and matured in many ways, and the use of simulation as a day-to-day tool is now even more common practice. With the current interest in digital mobile communications, a primary area of application of modeling and simulation is now in wireless systems of a different flavor from the 'traditional' ones. This second edition represents a substantial revision of the first, partly to accommodate the new applications that have arisen. New chapters include material on modeling and simulation of nonlinear systems, with a complementary section on related measurement techniques, channel modeling and three new case studies; a consolidated set of problems is provided at the end of the book.

Customer Reviews

a must-have for communication system simulation

The second edition is a much-improved version compared to the first one. More details are added -- which makes it easy to follow. Anyone who is doing system simulation or performance analysis should have one around. I would have rated it a 5-star if the authors should have included some of the algorithms in a CD to save reader's time.

Bible on simulation of communication systems

It's an essential part of a Communications Engineer Library. You just can't do without this book.

A must for anyone who simulates communication systems!

A great reference for those involved with signal-level simulations of communication systems. Provides superb coverage of both the fundamentals and advanced concepts associated with this "artform."
