This is a book about the technological foundations of the next generation of wireless networks, including the so-called third generation, or 3G, for the mobile Internet. It is a vast subject, encompassing a variety of new services, applications, and air interfaces. In this book I have focused on the lowest layers of the system: how the wireless information-bearing signal is constructed, and the choice of physical-layer transmission techniques and coding strategies capable of withstanding the extreme environment of the wireless channel.
