Principles of Communications Networks and Systems (Hardcover)

Addressing the fundamental technologies and theories associated with designing complex communications systems and networks, Principles of Communications Networks and Systems provides models and analytical methods for evaluating their performance. Including both the physical layer (digital transmission and modulation) and networking topics, the quality of service concepts belonging to the different layers of the protocol stack are interrelated to form a comprehensive picture.

The book is designed to present the material in an accessible but rigorous manner. It jointly addresses networking and transmission aspects following a unified approach and using a bottom up style of presentation, starting from requirements on transmission links all the way up to the corresponding quality of service at network and application layers. The focus is on presenting the material in an integrated and systematic fashion so that students will have a clear view of all the principal aspects and of how they interconnect with each other.

A comprehensive introduction to communications systems and networks, addressing both network and transmission topics

• Structured for effective learning, with basic principles and technologies being introduced before more advanced ones are explained
• Features examples of existing systems and recent standards as well as advanced digital modulation techniques such as CDMA and OFDM
• Contains tools to help the reader in the design and performance analysis of modern communications systems
• Provides problems at the end of each chapter, with answers on an accompanying website

《通信網絡和系統原理》涵蓋了設計複雜通信系統和網絡所涉及的基本技術和理論，並提供了評估其性能的模型和分析方法。該書包括物理層（數字傳輸和調製）和網絡主題，將協議堆棧的不同層級的服務質量概念相互關聯，形成一個全面的圖像。

該書旨在以易於理解但嚴謹的方式呈現材料。它以統一的方法共同處理網絡和傳輸方面，並以自下而上的方式進行介紹，從傳輸鏈路的要求一直到網絡和應用層的相應服務質量。重點是以一種整合和系統化的方式呈現材料，使學生能夠清楚地了解所有主要方面以及它們如何相互關聯。
