One of the very first books published on the social impact of the mobile phone
was Timo Kopomaa’s The City in Your Pocket: Birth of the Mobile Information Society.
The book, published in 2000, was based on research that Kopomaa had under-
taken for Nokia and Sonera as part of his doctoral studies in the Centre for Urban
and Regional Studies at the Helsinki University of Technology. The first line he
writes in the book is peculiar: ‘Mobile communication is not a serious matter’. By
this, we assume he is referring to a view of the world that would regard the mobile
phone as little more than an unremarkable fact of everyday life – a simple play-
thing for the young, or a productivity tool for the business executive and busy
parent.

The continuing vitality of spread-spectrum communication systems and the devel-
opment of new mathematical methods for their analysis provided the motivation to
undertake this new edition of the book. This edition is intended to enable readers
to understand the current state-of-the-art in this field. Almost twenty percent of the

A wireless communication network can be viewed as a collection of nodes, located in some domain, which
can in turn be transmitters or receivers (depending on the network considered, nodes may be mobile users,
base stations in a cellular network, access points of a WiFi mesh etc.). At a given time, several nodes
transmit simultaneously, each toward its own receiver. Each transmitter–receiver pair requires its own
wireless link. The signal received from the link transmitter may be jammed by the signals received from
the other transmitters. Even in the simplest model where the signal power radiated from a point decays in
an isotropic way with Euclidean distance, the geometry of the locations of the nodes plays a key role since
it determines the signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) at each receiver and hence the possibility of
establishing simultaneously this collection of links at a given bit rate. The interference seen by a receiver is
the sum of the signal powers received from all transmitters, except its own transmitter.

T
his book covers basic communications theory and practical imple-
mentation of transmitters and receivers. In so doing, I focus on dig-
ital modulation, demodulation methods, probabilities, detection of
digital signals, and spread spectrum system design and analysis. This book
was written for those who want a good understanding of the basic prin-
ciples of digital wireless communication systems, including spread spec-
trum techniques. This book also provides a good intuitive and practical
approach to digital communications. Therefore it is a valuable resource for
anyoneinvolvedinwirelesscommunicationsandtransceiverdesignfordig-
ital communications. The reader will gain a broad understanding of basic
communication principles for transceiver design, digital communications,
and spread spectrum, along with examples of many types of commercial
and military data link systems.

Digital radios have undergone an astonishing evolution in the last century. Born as a set of simple and
power-hungry electrical and electromechanical devices for low data rate transmission of telegraph data
in the Marconi age, they have transformed, thanks to substantial advances in electronic technology,
into a set of small, reliable and sophisticated integrated devices supporting broadband multimedia
communications. This, however, would not have been possible unless significant progress had been
made in recent decades in the field of signal processing algorithms for baseband and passband signals.
In fact, the core of any modern digital radio consists of a set of algorithms running over programmable
electronic hardware. This book stems from the research and teaching activities of its co-authors in
the field of algorithmic techniques for wireless communications. A huge body of technical literature
has accumulated in the last four decades in this area, and an extensive coverage of all its important
aspects in a single textbook is impossible. For this reason, we have selected a few important topics
and, for ease of reading, organized them into two parts.

Resource allocation is an important issue in wireless communication networks. In
recent decades, cognitive radio technology and cognitive radio-based networks have
obtained more and more attention and have been well studied to improve spectrum
utilization and to overcomethe problem of spectrum scarcity in future wireless com-
munication systems. Many new challenges on resource allocation appear in cogni-
tive radio-based networks. In this book, we focus on effective solutions to resource
allocation in several important cognitive radio-based networks, including a cogni-
tive radio-basedopportunisticspectrum access network, a cognitiveradio-basedcen-
tralized network, a cognitive radio-based cellular network, a cognitive radio-based
high-speed vehicle network, and a cognitive radio-based smart grid.

Battery systems for energy storage are among the most relevant technologies of the
21 st century. They – in particular modern lithium-ion batteries (LIB) – are enablers
for the market success of electric vehicles (EV) as well as for stationary energy
storage solutions for balancing fluctuations in electricity grids resulting from the
integrationofrenewableenergysourceswithvolatilesupply 1 .BothEVandstationary
storage solutions are important because they foster the transition from the usage
of fossil energy carriers towards cleaner renewable energy sources. Furthermore,
EV cause less local air pollution and noise emissions compared to conventional
combustion engine vehicles resulting in better air quality especially in urban areas.
Unfortunately, to this day, various technological and economic challenges impede a
broad application of batteries for EV as well as for large scale energy storage and
load leveling in electricity grids.

Driven by the rapid advancement of technology and the growing need of business
requirements, cyber communications are embedded in many physical systems. The
integration of cyber and physical capabilities leads to the creation of many applica-
tions with enormous societal impact and economic benefit. The emerging systems
that connect the cyber-world of computing and communications with the physical
world are cyber-physical systems (CPS).

n present power system, the engineers face variety of challenges in
planning, construction and operation. In some of the problems, the engineers need
to use managerial talents. In system design or upgrading the entire system into
automatic control instead of slow response of human operator, the engineers need
to exercise more technical knowledge and experience. It is principally the engi-
neer’s ability to achieve the success in all respect and provide the reliable and
uninterrupted service to the customers. This chapter covers some important areas
of the traditional power system that helps engineers to overcome the challenges. It
emphasizes the characteristics of the various components of a power system such
as generation, transmission, distribution, protection and SCADA system. During
normal operating conditions and disturbances, the acquired knowledge will pro-
vide the engineers the ability to analyse the performance of the complex system
and execute future improvement

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is witnessing a recent explosion of
development in both industry and academia. A number of applications include supply
chain management, electronic payments, RFID passports, environmental monitoring
and control, office access control, intelligent labels, target detection and tracking, port
management, food production control, animal identification, and so on. RFID is also
an indispensable foundation to realize the pervasive computing paradigm—“Internet of
things.” It is strongly believed that many more scenarios will be identified when the
principles of RFID are thoroughly understood, cheap components available, and when
RFID security is guaranteed.
