As the number of cellular subscribes increase, the interference that will be experienced by the systems will also increase manifold, whereby large cellular systems will have to handle interference problems. Hence, in future, there will be lot of opportunities for research and to develop newer applications.

The chapters in this book cover introduction to wireless mobile communication, various aspects of cellular systems, and future aspects of cellular communication. The book is a basic textbook that supports further exploration in the new field of cellular communications and may be considered a handbook or building block for further research.

Salient features:

The book is self-explanatory to a large extent and also serves a s convenient reference for engineers working in the cellular communications field

Arrangement of topics is flexible so that an instructor may conveniently select the several topics of suit a one semester course.
