Problem-Based Learning In Communication Systems Using Matlab And Simulink

This book is designed for students, as well as engineers to learn communication theories and systems through active learning, rather than the traditional way of passive learning. All communication concepts and algorithms are explained using simulation projects (Matlab/Simulink). For each topic, a summary of the theory/algorithm is provided first, followed by many simulation examples and projects. These projects aim to enable readers to see how each abstract algorithm works, such as algorithm execution sequence. Step-by-step code-construction instructions where readers can check the results of each intermediate step and compare the various parameter choices and their effects are provided. Consequently, readers are led to build up the algorithms in simulation themselves, all while gaining a thorough understanding of the concepts.

Kwonhue Choi is a Professor in the Department of Information and Communication Engineering and the Principal Director of Broadband Wireless Communication (BWC) Laboratory at Yeungnam University, Korea. His research areas include efficient multiple access, diversity schemes, and cooperative communications for Fifth-Generation (5G) and beyond systems. He is the inventor of FADAC-OFDM and PSW (Properly scrambled Walsh) codes.
