Since the first edition of this book was published seven years ago, the
field of modeling and simulation of communication systems has grown and
matured in many ways, and the use of simulation as a day-to-day tool is
now even more common practice. With the current interest in digital
mobile communications, a primary area of application of modeling and
simulation is now in wireless systems of a different flavor from the
`traditional' ones.
This second edition represents a substantial revision of the first,
partly to accommodate the new applications that have arisen. New
chapters include material on modeling and simulation of nonlinear
systems, with a complementary section on related measurement techniques,
channel modeling and three new case studies; a consolidated set of
problems is provided at the end of the book.
