The progress in the research in the field of wireless communications has recently generated significant results so that there is a need to update the existing text of the second edition. The concept of the book will be organized within the framework of wireless access to future internet, so that a number of topics above physical layer will be added. The major additions to the book will be five new chapters incorporated within the existing text in an appropriate way.The new edition will be fully updated to incorporate these new results. Additions include five new chapters on self-healing mechanisms; biologically inspired paradigms; advanced routing and network coding; relaying; and game theory. Other topics include space time coding, adaptive modulation and coding, multiuser communication, and channel estimation and equalization.
