Summary:
"The renowned communication theorist Robert Gallager brings his lucid writing style to this first-year graduate textbook on the fundamental system aspects of digital communication. He develops a simple framework and then combines this with careful proofs to help the reader understand modern systems and simplified models in an intuitive yet precise way. Although many features of various modern digital communication systems are discussed, the focus is always on principles explained using a hierarchy of simple models." "Throughout, principles are developed with both mathematical precision and intuitive explanations, allowing readers to choose their own mix of mathematics and engineering. An extensive set of exercises ranges from confidence-building examples to more challenging problems."--BOOK JACKET.
