Free E-book: Fundamentals Of Wireless Communication

Fundamentals Of Wireless Communication

Year: Jun 2005
ISBN: 0521845270
Language: English
Pages: 586
File type: PDF
Size (for download): 3.6 MB


This book aims to present modern wireless communication concepts in a coherent and unified manner and to illustrate the concepts in the broader context of the wireless systems on which they have been applied.

This book is written as a textbook for a first-year graduate course in wireless communication. The expected background is solid undergraduate/beginning graduate courses in signals and systems, probability and digital communication. This background is supplemented by the two appendices in the book. Appendix A summarizes some basic facts in vector detection and estimation in Gaussian noise which are used repeatedly throughout the book. Appendix B covers the underlying information theory behind the channel capacity results used in this book. Even though information theory has played a significant role in many of the recent developments in wireless communication, in the main text we only introduce capacity results in a heuristic manner and use them mainly to motivate communication concepts and techniques. No background in information theory is assumed. The appendix is intended for the reader who wants to have a more in-depth and unified understanding of the capacity results.

The more than 230 exercises form an integral part of the book. Working on at least some of them is essential in understanding the material. Most of them elaborate on concepts discussed in the main text. The exercises range from relatively straightforward derivations of results in the main text, to “back-of-envelope” calculations for actual wireless systems, to “get-your-hands-dirty” MATLAB types, and to reading exercises that point to current research literature. The small bibliographical notes at the end of each chapter provide pointers to literature that is very closely related to the material discussed in the book; we do not aim to exhaust the immense research literature related to the material covered here.

UML book: Business Modeling with UML Business Patterns at Work - Wiley

Business Modeling with UML Business Patterns at Work - Wiley
Posted on Thursday, November 24 @ 15:23:52 PST
Topic: Book UML
Until now, the Unified Modeling Language (UML) has been primarily used to design software, but should you use it to model your entire business as well? That's the intriguing argument of Business Modeling with UML, a text that combines leading-edge enhancements to UML with some solid thinking about business. Written for any manager with some technical background, this book looks at the possibilities of UML used to model entire organizations.
The book makes a strong case for the advantages of modeling businesses in UML. With models, an organization can provide better software, define and implement new goals, and even decide whether to outsource certain operations. The Erickson-Penker Business Extensions for UML, invented by the authors and presented within the text, permit UML to document the entire business enterprise. This book shows how to model businesses, from business architecture to processes, business rules, and goals. Short case studies--for Web-centric and more traditional companies--are used to illustrate key concepts here.

Later sections of the book will perhaps take a little more background in software engineering to appreciate fully as the book presents a handful of business patterns, which offer reusable solutions to common problems (just like software patterns). The authors also look at how to leverage a business model to create better software.

In engineering, a new car is modeled and thoroughly tested on a computer before any physical prototype is ever built. As the authors point out, a business that has accurate models can test out new ideas cheaply and then adapt to changing market conditions quickly. This title makes a case that UML--a tool traditionally used by software developers--is ready to tackle the job. Read this notably informative and intelligent book to see the possible benefits of business modeling in UML for your organization.

Database Access with Visual Basic .NET continues to use techniques developed by Jeffrey McManus that provide solutions to problems faced by developers every day. Since data access is the most used feature in corporate development, it is important for developers to understand the most effective and efficient way to access data using .NET technologies. This book provides clear explanations of how to use ADO.NET to access data stored in relational databases, as well as how XML integrates with ADO.NET. The authors use their years of experience to relate key topics to real-world applications through use of Business Cases that include code listings in Visual Basic .NET.

The purpose of this book is to show you how to develop database applications, using Visual Basic.NET and ADO.NET. Even though we expect that most readers will be working with SQL Server, we do not assume that they are experienced with it. You may be new to database applications or only have experience with other databases such as Microsoft Access or Oracle. We have therefore included a hefty overview of Microsoft SQL Server in Chapter 3. If you are experienced with SQL Server, you may want to skip this chapter. However, it covers a wide variety of topics, and you may still find a "nugget" or two that would make reading the chapter worthwhile.

We assume that you are already familiar with Visual Basic.NET (VB.NET). Although we give step-by-step coding instructions and code examples, we do not cover VB.NET syntax in this book. We assume that you are reasonably comfortable with VB.NET and Visual Studio.NET (VS.NET) and do not waste your time reviewing fundamental concepts. For example, we do not normally step through basic tasks, such as opening and saving project files, except maybe the first time you encounter them. We do, however, often show how to do the same thing in several different ways—we hope that this will extend your knowledge of VB.NET, without rehashing the basics. You may also notice variant coding styles, and even screen shots on different versions of Windows—all illustrating the flexibility of VB.NET.

File type: PDF
Size : 1.3 MB


The book is divided into a series of self-contained chapters, each discussing specific and important features of Symbian OS. Besides the fundamentals, the chapters illustrate best practice and describe any common mistakes to avoid. The chapters are concise enough to impart the insight you need without being so brief as to leave you needing more information. Each chapter delivers simple and straightforward explanations without omitting the important facts.

Developing good C++ code on Symbian OS requires a clear understanding of the underlying concepts and the nature of the operating system. This book explains the key features of Symbian OS and shows how you can use this knowledge most effectively. It also focuses on some aspects of good C++ style that particularly apply to Symbian OS. With understanding and practice, the expertise required to write high quality C++ code on Symbian OS should become second nature.

This book doesn’t teach you how to write C++. It assumes you’re already familiar with the most important concepts of the language.Neither does it walk through Symbian OS from the perspective of developing a particular application. Instead, I try to impart an understanding of the central concepts and key features of Symbian OS and good techniques in C++. To quote from Scott Meyers, whose book inspired me to write this one, ”In this book you’ll find advice on what you should do, and why, and what you should not do, and why not”.
