Digital Communication over Fading Channels

noncoherent communication systems, as well as a large variety of fading channel models typical of communication links often found in the real world, including single- and multichannel reception with a large variety of types. The book gives many numerical illustrations expressed in large collections of system performance curves, allowing the researchers or system designers to perform trade-off studies of the average bit error rate and symbol error rate. This book is a very good reference book for researchers and communication engineers and may also be a source for supplementary material of a graduate course on communication or signal processing. Nowadays, many new books attach a CD-ROM for more supplementary material. With the many numerical examples in this book, it appears that an attached CD-ROM would be ideal for this book. It would be even better to present the computer program in order to be interactive so that the readers can plug in their arbitrary parameters for the performance evaluation. —H. Hsu
