In this edition, have retained all the chapters and their sequence as used in the original edition. The major changes could be summarized as follows: addition of explanations and motivation for many of the concepts numerical examples wherever possible, additonal problems at the end of each chapter, and an introduction of some new concepts to reflect the dtate of the art. Specifically, we have emphasized the importance of the probability theory in the wireless and mobile systems area.
Added the generalized Makagami distribution to show the usefulness of the CRC scheme. Included derivations of pure and slotted ALOHA and ARQ: Added CSMA/CD protocol and augmented security schemes. Added two new multiple access concepts of OFDM and SDMA. A description of SMS has been added and the explanation of the Bellman-Ford algorithm has been given to calculate the shortest path between any two nodes.
