Preface to the Third, Expanded and Completely Revised, Edition

From the Fundamentals to Beyond 5G

Wireless communications is one of the most important modern technologies and is interwoven with all aspects of our daily lives. When we wake up, we check social media, email, and news on our smartphones. Before getting up, we adjust the room temperature through a Bluetooth‐connected thermostat. After we leave the house and activate the Wi‐Fi security cameras, we order a rideshare on a phone app that recognizes our location through GPS and are driven to a factory where manufacturing robots are connected and controlled via 5G. And that is only the start of the day….

It is thus no wonder that wireless infrastructure, user devices, and networks are among the largest and most critical industries in most countries. As the demands for wireless services constantly increase, so do the requirements for new products and for engineers that can develop these products and bring them to market. Such engineers need a deep understanding of both the fundamentals that govern the behavior of wireless systems, the current standardized systems implementations, and more recent research developments that will influence the next generation of products.

The goal of this book is to help students, researchers, and practicing engineers to acquire, refresh, or update this knowledge. It is designed to lead them from the fundamental principles and building blocks, such as digital modulation, fading, and reuse of spectrum, to more advanced technologies that underly modern wireless systems, such as multicarrier and multiantenna transmission, to a description of the standardized systems dominating 5G cellular, Wi‐Fi, and short‐range communications, to the cutting‐edge research that will form the basis for beyond‐5G systems. In brief, the book aims to lead the reader from the fundamentals to beyond 5G.

Why This New Edition

The changing landscape of wireless systems over the past decade influenced both my research and my teaching. Thus, when - following the positive reception of the first two editions – the publisher asked me to develop a third edition, I decided to not only considerably expand the covered material, but also to completely revise and re‐organize the whole book.

One of the key challenges in studying wireless communications is the amazing breadth of topics that interact, and the need for an understanding of all aspects that impact the performance of systems. This has always been true, but over the past years, the joint optimization of different “layers”, from hardware to applications, has become even more important, thus, the breadth of knowledge a wireless engineer needs is constantly increasing. Consequently, the new edition covers topics that were consciously omitted in the earlier editions, such as transceiver hardware, scheduling, and localization.

Another challenge is that both practical wireless systems and the science on which they are based are constantly changing. Since 2010, when the second edition of this book appeared, wireless communications has undergone a number of revolutionary changes. The first was caused by the emergence of smartphones as the digital device of choice for the majority of people, replacing computers. A second revolution is the emergence of an all‐pervasive Internet‐of‐Things, in which many billions of sensors, actuators, and computation devices are connected wirelessly. All this has led to a major shift of wireless communications from voice‐centric to data‐centric communication systems and considerably diversified the types of traffic, and the requirements in terms of latency, energy efficiency, and data rate. To satisfy all these new requirements, novel scientific ideas and technologies have been developed. Numerous new sections have been added to describe these developments. Furthermore, the data‐centric nature of modern wireless communications is now reflected throughout the book.

Finally, the relevant wireless standards have changed profoundly in the past decade. The world of cellular has simplified: it is dominated by the 4G standard LTE and the 5G standard NR. This allowed to eliminate, or move to appendices, the description of several older standards, while giving more space for an in‐depth description of LTE/NR. On the other hand, standards for IoT and low‐power applications, in particular Bluetooth and Zigbee, have gained importance, and are now described in a new chapter.

Increasing the page size and page count, moving some material (including the end‐of‐chapter examples and the list of acronyms and symbols) to a website, and removing outdated material, allowed to add some 350 pages of completely new material. Some of the key additions of the book are:

• Extensions in scope:
  • Hardware and its impact on system design
  • Scheduling
  • Localization
• New scientific developments
  • Massive MIMO and distributed MIMO
  • NOMA
  • Interference alignment
  • Millimeter-wave and THz communications
  • OTFS and generalized multicarrier techniques
  • Spatial modulation, intelligent reflective surfaces, and OAM
  • Stochastic-geometry analysis of cellular networks
• New standards
  • 5G (3GPP New Radio) standard
  • Wi‐Fi 5 (802.11ac) and Wi‐Fi 6 (802.11ax) standards
  • A preview of Beyond 5G standards
  • Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy, and Zigbee standards

Given the length to which the current edition already runs, it is inevitable that not all relevant topics could be covered, with the choice often reflective of how well such topic could be integrated into the overall framework – for example, satellite communications, while important, would require too much background on the principles and constraints of satellites to make an inclusion practical. Still, I strove to select the topics in this book to give the reader a well‐rounded view of wireless communications systems and prepare them for working in research and product development of this vibrant area.

Synopsis

The book is divided into six parts. Part 1 provides a high‐level overview of wireless communications. Chapter 1 first gives a taxonomy of different wireless services, and then describes the requirements for data rate, range, and energy consumption, for different applications, and different types of systems. Chapter 2 describes the basic challenges of wireless communications, like multipath propagation and limited spectrum resources. Chapter 3 provides a high‐level overview of wireless systems that serves to put the various chapters in the remainder of the book into their proper context.

Part 2 is dedicated to antennas and propagation channels, i.e., the medium over which communications happens in wireless systems. A key fact about these channels is the existence of multiple propagation paths over which the signal can propagate from transmitter to receiver. Chapter 4 describes the fundamental propagation processes such as reflection and diffraction, which form the basis for deterministic descriptions of multipath channels. Chapters 5 and 6 then consider statistical descriptions, such as amplitude fading statistics (like Rayleigh fading), and delay dispersion. Chapter 7 gives specific models for propagation channels in different environments, covering path loss as well as wideband and directional models. Chapter 8 discusses antennas, which translate between electric signals in the transceivers, and the electromagnetic waves propagating over the channel. The part finishes with a discussion of channel sounding, i.e., techniques for measuring impulse responses and other characteristics of the channel.

Part 3 describes the techniques for communicating data between one transmitter and one receiver – in other words, the basics of conveying data on a single link. We start in Chapter 10 with a description of different modulation formats, their abstract representations (such as signal space), and characteristics (such as spectral efficiency), as well as a discussion of various popular modulation formats. Chapter 11 then describes demodulation techniques, starting with a discussion of optimum transceivers and then progressing to methods for computing error probabilities in different types of channels. Since typical error probabilities in fading channels are unacceptably high, the next two chapters discuss countermeasures. Diversity (discussed in Chapter 12) is used to avoid high errors in fading dips and increase the probability that information is successfully received. Alternatively, or in combination with it, error correction coding can to be used. Chapter 13 provides a survey of coding, starting with the fundamental performance limits, and then describing both classical (block codes, convolutional codes) and modern (turbo codes, LDPC codes, polar codes) techniques. The next two Chapters deal with techniques for communicating in delay‐dispersive channels. Chapter 14 discusses equalizers, which are used to avoid intersymbol interference caused by delay dispersion in “standard” modulation techniques. Chapter 15 then discusses OFDM, a modulation format that is especially suited for operation in delay‐dispersive channels, and which has become the dominant modulation format in both current cellular and Wi‐Fi communications, as well as other related techniques that are under...
