Foundations of Mobile Radio Engineering 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 why it has better performance in a Rayleigh environment. The book also addresses interference problems and traffic studies with consideration to the Monte Carlo simulation technique. Practical results, examples, and field measurement problems are presented as well. Foundations of Mobile Radio Engineering provides a wealth of information for electrical engineers; professionals in communications, networks, and cellular mobile radio and mobile radio systems; and students in electrical engineering and communication fields.
