Wireless and Cellular Communications

By William C. Y. Lee

When I started revising the second edition of Wireless Telecommunication to create the current edition, I faced some difficulties. First, I did not know which parts of the book should be saved if dictated by reader preferences over the past ten years. Second, during the last ten years, so many new technologies and systems were developed that it became difficult to decide what new information to include and how to include it in a succinct fashion; I have therefore tried to present the best of both worlds: to cover as much as I can while, keeping the size of the book as manageable as I feel the second edition was. It took me almost two years to revise this book, and from those two years’ work emerged a book that I feel can be useful to readers on the following fronts:

• as a textbook as well as a handbook, since it covers new systems and technologies.
• as a guide to broadband wireless access and cellular systems.
• as a reference book for executives.
• as a textbook for college seniors and graduate students.
