This textbook offers a unified view of wireless communication fundamentals, featuring MIMO, OFDM, CDMA, GSM, and IS-95 concepts. It is paced for readers with a basic background in probability and digital communication, and includes extensive exercises and figures to reinforce learning.

Topics cover spatial multiplexing, space‑time coding, opportunistic communication, and multi‑user capacity, with examples drawn from real systems such as GSM, IS‑95, IS‑856 (1x EV‑DO), Flash OFDM, and Array Comm SDMA. The book stresses the interplay between theory and implementation.

Graduate courses in electrical and computer engineering widely use the text, and practitioners find it valuable. Instructors can download solutions and lecture slides, or request an inspection copy from Robin Silverman of Cambridge University Press.

A 12‑hour short course based on the book has been offered at Qualcomm, Tsinghua, IIT Madras, ETH Zurich, and many universities worldwide. Contact the authors for enrollment or institutional use.
