Bibliography, References

There is no single book that covers the mixture of topics in this class at an up-to-date level. 

Two main recommendations (but neither one is perfect by any means): 

• C. Beard and W. Stallings, Wireless Communications Networks and Systems.  
• D. Tse und P. Viswanath, Fundamentals of Wireless Communication, Cambridge University Press, 2005. (Great book, but too much physical layer material for the needs of this course) 

If you feel you need to brush up on your stochastics, the books by Sheldon Ross are very readable, with a practical touch. Rather recommended. For example: 

• S. Ross, Introduction to Probability and Statistics for Engineers and Scientists, 2004. 

Additional reading material, typically going beyond the material covered in class, is collected in this group.
