Wireless telecommunication systems generate a huge amount of interest.
In the last two decades, these systems have experienced at least three
major technological leaps, and it has become impossible to imagine how
society was organized without them. In this book, we propose a
macroscopic approach on wireless systems, and aim at answering key
questions about power, data rates, multiple access, cellular engineering
and access networks architectures.
We present a series of solved problems, whose objective is to establish
the main elements of a global link budget in several radiocommunications
systems.
