主题内容 | | The first edition of this book was aimed at collecting and documenting the huge
compendium of results contained in the myriad of contributions developed from
the MGF-based approach that had been reported until that time and, by virtue of
its unified notation and collocation in a single publication, would thereby be useful
to both students and researchers in the field. In 1999 the manuscript for the first
edition was submitted to the publisher. Since that time, a great deal of additional
significant work on the subject has been performed and reported on in the literature,
so much so that a second edition of the book is warranted and will be extremely
beneficial to these same researchers and students in bringing them up to date on
these new developments.
Perhaps the most significant of these new developments is the explosion of
interest and research that has taken place in the area of transmit diversity and spacetime
coding and the associated multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) channel, a
subject that was briefly alluded to but not discussed in any detail in the first edition.
One of the key elements of the second edition is a comprehensive chapter on this
all-important subject that, in keeping with the main theme of the book, deals with
the performance evaluation aspects of such systems. The performance of MIMO
systems is also treated from other perspectives elsewhere in the text.
Aside from these developments, many new and exciting results have been developed
by the authors as well as other researchers that (1) have led to new and
improved diversity schemes and (2) allow for the performance analysis of previously
known schemes operating in new and different fading scenarios not discussed
in the first edition. A few of these developments are (1) new alternative forms for
classic mathematical functions such as the second-order Gaussian Q-function and
also higher powers of the first-order Gaussian Q-function; (2) improved diversity
schemes such as threshold and postdetection generalized selection combining,
switch-and-examine combining, and switch-and-wait combining; (3) new channel
fading models of interest in wireless and mobile applications; (4) new bounds on
system performance in the presence of fading; and (5) new mathematical results
related to quadratic forms in Gaussian random variables and the difference in chisquare
random variables with different degrees of freedom, allowing for the analysis
of practical communication performance measures such as the outage probability
of digital communication systems in the presence of multiple interferers. In fact,
because of the importance of the latter issue in multiuser communication systems,
a new chapter has been added on this subject. The list above is only a small sample
of the voluminous amount of material (on the order of several hundred pages) that
has been added to the second edition.
As in the first edition, in dealing with the application of the MGF-based approach,
the coverage in this edition of the book is extremely broad in that coherent, differentially
coherent, partially coherent, and noncoherent communication systems are
all handled as well as a large variety of fading channel models typical of communication
links of practical interest. Both single- and multichannel reception are
discussed, and in the case of the latter, a large variety of diversity types are considered.
In fact, the chapter on multichannel reception (Chapter 9) is by itself now over
325 manuscript pages long and, in reality, could stand alone as its own textbook.
For each combination of communication (modulation/detection) type, channel fading
model, and diversity type, expressions for various system performance measures
are obtained in a form that can be readily evaluated.2 All cases considered correspond
to real practical channels, and in many instances the closed-form expressions
obtained can be evaluated numerically on a handheld calculator.
In writing this book, our intent was to spend as little space as possible duplicating
material dealing with basic digital communication theory and system performance
evaluation that is well documented in many fine textbooks on the subject. Rather,
this book serves to advance the material found in these texts and as such is of most
value to those desiring to extend their knowledge beyond what ordinarily might be
covered in the classroom. In this regard, the book should have a strong appeal to
graduate students doing research in the field of digital communications over fading
channels as well as practicing engineers who are responsible for the design and
performance evaluation of such systems. With regard to the latter, the book contains
copious numerical evaluations that are illustrated in the form of parametric performance
curves (e.g., average error probability versus average signal-to-noise ratio).
The applications chosen for the numerical illustrations correspond to practical systems
and as such the performance curves provided will have far more than academic
value. The availability of such a large collection of system performance curves in
a single compilation allows researchers and system designers to perform tradeoff
studies among the various communication type/fading channel combinations so as
to determine the optimum choice in the face of their available constraints.
