Product Description
Scientific knowledge grows at a phenomenal pace-but few books have had as lasting an impact or played as important a role in our modern world as "The Mathematical Theory of Communication", published originally as a paper on communication theory in the "Bell System Technical Journal" more than fifty years ago. Republished in book form shortly thereafter, it has since gone through four hardcover and sixteen paperback printings. It is a revolutionary work, astounding in its foresight and contemporaneity. The University of Illinois Press is pleased and honored to issue this commemorative reprinting of a classic. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars If you want to learn about entropy in terms of information theory then this is *THE* book
This is the seminal work that may be said to include the basic concepts, definitions and theorems of information and communication theory. This book does not need any praise because anybody who had even an introductory education in computer science or electronics of communication will have met the name of Shannon (if you haven't yet, please rush to Google and read his achievements).

The beauty of this edition is twofold. It includes two main parts. First part is by Weaver, and you don't need anything more than high school logic and algebra to understand the very clearly explained concepts. The second part by Shannon is 'the real thing' and for the mathematically educated reader, you need a fine grasp of probability theory, calculus, and a little bit of calculus of variations if you want to absorb all of the material.

To sum it up, if you want to really understand what entropy means in terms of information theory, then this is THE book for it. You'll also find very entertaining examples about the redundancy and entropy of the English language and how this relates to creating crossword puzzles in 2 dimension or 3 dimension.

You owe it to yourself to read this short book if you are a computer scientist, computer engineer or electronics engineer.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Seminal Work in Information Theory
This book is the origin of information theory (then called "communication theory").Explaining measurement of information in both discrete and continuous variables, this historic work defined one of the most important watershed moments in science, and serves as an excellent introduction to the subject.

5-0 out of 5 stars The foundations of Information Theory
This book doesn't need any presentation: it is well known by all the scientific community as the "start point" of Information Theory. Roughly speaking, today we would not have cell phones or internet without Shannon's work.
With his fundamental theorem, in 1948, Shannon prooved that it was possible, under some conditions, to have reliable communication. Since that moment, the research on Information Theory has become more and more important and has continued to develop in many different ways.
So, this book is historically fundamental for all those people interested in Communications.

5-0 out of 5 stars The one and only
Typically, a paper which defines a new field of science is not the best introduction to new researchers in the field. This is not the case with The Mathematical Theory of Communication. If you are interested in information theory, this is the one and only place to start.

5-0 out of 5 stars 6 stars. A gem.
This book is the best technical book i've ever read. It's clear, concise and logic. It explains all the fundamentals of communication theory, a basic for telecom and electronic engineers. All technical universities of everywhere must explain their communication theory subject following exactly this text. Above any other technical book. A gem. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Absolute must have for academic-types.
The IEEE Information Society releases (IEEE Press) releases yet another priceless book which is both historical in nature; yet every bit as current as when Shannon first started published some of his more famous works in the 1940's.This book is unquestionably a "must have" reference book for either communication engineers or mathemeticians who have either a serious, or newly found interest in the topic of "information theory." Shannon's theorems of Channel Capacity and Channel

Coding are studied by EE students worldwide.However, this book is much-much-more.The books 924 pages contain a wide assortment of articles written by this rare genius. Elementary cryptography and analysis of the Entropy of the written language; "communications secrecy" (which is quite honestly outdated by todays standards; but taken into context, the papers were valuable at the time.)Also obscure articles on "game theory" as it applies to the field of "artificial

intelligence" which at the time, he was a pioneer (along with other great minds including Turing, Minsky, etc..) Also, his articles on early computers and automata, and optimizing circuits so as to use less relays, etc.. are also quite interesting... Yes, the man was mortal, and to show that he wasn't all mathemetician, Shannon writes a fascinating article on the physics of JUGGLING..The book comes with an introductory chapter which contains a somewhat adequate biography, and an interview with OMNI Magazine which was published in 1987.

This is definately a book which should be on the shelf of anyone serious about the subject.Yes, there are much more technical books on the subject. If you have a PhD in EE or mathematics, you might not be impressed... but Shannon's "easy writing style" which differs from some of the "dry" IEEE writings of today makes for an interesting read; if only for remembering history.-S.A. Hoffman, NY-

Product Description
Third Generation Wireless Systems, Volume 1: Post-ShannonSignal Architectures offers you an in-depth understanding of thefundamental concepts underlying today’s most advanced wirelessarchitectures, with a special emphasis on physical layer techniquesand philosophies used in constructing interference-resistant wirelesssignals. You find in-depth coverage of a wide range of criticaltopics, including signal hardening, signal shaping techniques, signalexpansion techniques, and active receiver concepts and techniques.

A common theoretical framework is developed around the idea of apost-Shannon approach to designing communications systems. In manyways, modern wireless technology is pushing beyond the conventionallimits of Claude Shannon’s celebrated "communications theory."Topics like multipath fading and other channel phenomena are viewed ina new light – no longer as simply unavoidable sources ofdegradation, but as potential resources for additional information andsignal robustness.

This is the first in a series of leading-edge volumes onnext-generation wireless systems and technologies authored by GeorgeM. Calhoun. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Good read for intuitive understand physical layer techniques
In many cases wireless texts are either a precis of one or more standards or the subject matter is presented as "stainless steel" knowledge devoid of contextual meaning.These have their place if you're a radio engineer but if you're also looking for an easy way of developing an intuitive understanding of physical layer techniques then George Calhoun's book may be more than useful to you.This may be one of the very few technical books you'll enjoy reading even at home.

5-0 out of 5 stars 3G Physical Layer Dynamite !!!!
This book focuses on the Physical Layer technology, describing the problems, parameters, strategies, and techniques employed for 3G and beyond.The text is VERY different from any other 3G book I have read (and I have read quite a few of them).I had been looking for a book that would describe or quantify the problem domain faced in wireless communications, and the reasoning behind the solutions that have been developed.I wanted it explained in conceptual detail that can be easily understood, without relying on mathematical equations to get the point across.Dr. Calhoun has done just that.This books reads like your sitting in his office and chatting with him.He continually provides superb insight to difficult concepts and uses plenty of diagrams to convey the material.

The text starts from the beginning, discussing the challenges that the "wireless" engineer faces, and then covers Shannon Theory, which he continually refers to throughout the rest of the book.Wireless system design is then covered from the viewpoint of the problems that need to be overcome by the wireless engineer.This then rolls into the physical layer strategies that need to be employed in 3G systems.

Dr. Calhoun spends quite a bit of time discussing the concept of "Signal Hardening" as a way to increase the efficiency of the available communications space.Topics include quantization, signal expansion, message space expansion, channel coding strategies, soft decision techniques, and diversity techniques.Every one of these topics is explained in illuminating detail.

Transmitter and Receiver oriented strategies are discussed, including compression, signal shaping, adaptive techniques, active receiver, equalization, RAKE receivers, and MUD.Finally, OFDM and MIMO spread signal technologies are addressed.

After reading this book, I feel I have a foundational understanding of the physical layer and Post-Shannon Signal Architectures.The writing style is very clear and engaging. There's no dobut this is best technical book I have ever read, and I am looking forward to the next volume in the series.

5-0 out of 5 stars All you ever wanted to know about wireless
Great book.

Is not intimidating with formulas and equations but gives you overview of the technology.

Gives good grasp of where it's heading

And no Shanon is still valid rather he is pointing out ways in which Shanon limits can be side stepped by moving around either in frequency or space or time

Also gives indictaion why rake recivers are so powerful.

This book will show you the overall technology, trend and implications.But if you want to learn how to design a 6 fingered rake reciever this is not it. ... Read more

Shannon is famous for having founded information theory with one landmark paper published in 1948. But he is also credited with founding both digital computer and digital circuit design theory in 1937, when, as a 21-year-old master's student at MIT, he wrote a thesis demonstrating that electrical application of Boolean algebra could construct and resolve any logical, numerical relationship. It has been claimed that this was the most important master's thesis of all time. Shannon was born in Petoskey, Michigan. His father, Claude Sr (18621934), a descendant of early New Jersey settlers, was a businessman and for a while, Judge of Probate. His mother, Mabel Wolf Shannon (18901945), daughter of German immigrants, was a language teacher and for a number of years principal of Gaylord High School, Michigan. The first sixteen years of Shannon's life were spent in Gaylord, Michigan, where he attended public school, graduating from Gaylord High School in 1932. Shannon showed an inclination towards mechanical things. His best subjects were science and mathematics, and at home he constructed such devices as models of planes, a radio-controlled model boat and a telegraph system to a friend's house half a mile away. While growing up, he worked as a messenger for Western Union. His childhood hero was Thomas Edison, who he later learned was... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=5693 ... Read more

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The decisive event which established the discipline of information theory, and brought it to immediate worldwide attention, was the publication of Claude E. Shannon's classic paper A Mathematical Theory of Communication in the Bell System Technical Journal in July and October of 1948. In this revolutionary and groundbreaking paper, the work for which Shannon had substantially completed at Bell Labs by the end of 1944, Shannon for the first time introduced the qualitative and quantitative model of communication as a statistical process underlying information theory, opening with the assertion that the fundamental problem of communication is that of reproducing at one point, either exactly or approximately, a message selected at another point. With it came the ideas of the information entropy and redundancy of a source, and its relevance through the source coding theorem the mutual information, and the channel capacity of a noisy channel, including the promise of perfect loss-free communication given by the noisy-channel coding theorem ...

Extrait : John von Neumann (né Neumann János, 1903-1957), mathématicien et physicien américain d'origine hongroise, a apporté d'importantes contributions tant en mécanique quantique, qu'en analyse fonctionnelle, en théorie des ensembles, en informatique, en sciences économiques ainsi que dans beaucoup d'autres domaines des mathématiques et de la physique. Il a de plus participé aux programmes militaires américains. Benjamin d'une fratrie de trois, il s'appelle tout d'abord Neumann János Lajos (les Hongrois placent les noms de famille en tête) à Budapest en Autriche-Hongrie. Il est le fils de Neumann Miksa (Max Neumann), un avocat-banquier, et de Kann Margit (Marguerite Kann). Il ne prête guère attention à ses origines juives, sinon pour son répertoire de blagues. János est un enfant prodige : à six ans, il converse avec son père en grec ancien et peut mentalement faire la division d'un nombre à huit chiffres. Une anecdote rapporte qu'à huit ans, il a déjà lu les quarante-quatre volumes de l'histoire universelle de la bi...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: ShannonFano codingShannonHartley lawNyquistShannon sampling theoremNoisy channel coding theoremShannon switching gameShannon numberShannon indexShannon's source coding theoremShannon's expansionShannon-Weaver model of communication WhittakerShannon interpolation formulaClaude Elwood Shannon (April 30, 1916 February 24, 2001), an American mathematician and electronic engineer, is known as "the father of information theory". Shannon is famous for having founded information theory with one landmark paper published in 1948. But he is also credited with founding both digital computer and digital circuit design theory in 1937, when, as a 21-year-old master's student at MIT, he wrote a thesis demonstrating that electrical application of Boolean algebra could construct and resolve any logical, numerical relationship. It has been claimed that this was the most important master's thesis of all time. Shannon was born in Petoskey, Michigan. His father, Claude Sr (18621934), a descendant of early New Jersey settlers, was a businessman and for a while, Judge of Probate. His mother, Mabel Wolf Shannon (18901945), daughter of German immigrants, was a language teacher and for a number of years principal of Gaylord High School, Michigan. The first sixteen years of Shannon's life were spent in Gaylord, Michigan, where he attended public school, graduating from Gaylord High School in 1932. Shannon showed an inclination towards mechanical things. His best subjects were science and mathematics, and at home he constructed such devices as models of planes, a radio-controlled model boat and a telegraph system to a friend's house half a mile away. While growing up, he worked as a messenger for Western Union. His c...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=5693 ... Read more

L'idée d'un réseau informatique, permettant aux utilisateurs de différents ordinateurs de communiquer, se développa par de nombreuses étapes successives. La somme de tous ces développements conduisit au « réseau des réseaux » () que nous connaissons aujourd'hui en tant que l'Internet. Il est le fruit à la fois de développements technologiques et du regroupement d'infrastructures réseau existantes et de systèmes de télécommunications. Les premières versions mettant en place ces idées apparurent à la fin des années 1950. L'application pratique de ces concepts commença à la fin des années 1960.

Il fut l'un des principaux animateurs de l'aventure structuraliste et sémiotique française. Roland Barthes naît en 1915 à Cherbourg. Très tôt orphelin de père, il passe son enfance à Bayonne, puis à Paris, où il étudie au lycée Montaigne puis au lycée Louis-le-Grand. Convalescent, il obtient le baccalauréat en 1935. Il s'inscrit en lettres classiques à la faculté des lettres de l'université de Paris, où il contribue à fonder le « Groupe de théâtre antique de la Sorbonne » et obtient la licence ès-lettres en 1939 (certificats d'études grecques, d'études latines, de littérature française et d'histoire de la philosophie).

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Claude Elwood Shannon (30 avril 1916 à Petoskey, Michigan - 24 février 2001 à Medford, Massachusetts) est un ingénieur électricien et mathématicien américain. Il est l'un des pères, si ce n'est le père fondateur, de la théorie de l'information. Son nom est attaché à un célèbre « schéma de Shannon » très utilisé en sciences humaines, qu'il a constamment désavoué. Il étudie le génie électrique et les mathématiques à l'Université du Michigan en 1932. Il utilise notamment l'algèbre booléenne pour sa maîtrise soutenue en 1938 au Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Il y explique comment construire des machines à relais en utilisant l'algèbre de Boole pour décrire l'état des relais (1 : fermé, 0 : ouvert). Shannon travaille vingt ans au MIT, de 1958 à 1978. Parallèlement à ses activités académiques, il travaille aussi aux laboratoires Bell de 1941 à 1972. Claude Shannon est connu non seulement pour ses travaux dans les télécommunications, mais aussi pour l'étendue et l'originalité de ses hobbies, comme la jonglerie, la pratique du monocycle et l'invention de machines farfelues : une souris mécanique sachant trouver son chemin dans un labyrinthe, un robot jongleur, un joueur d'échecs (roi tour contre roi), etc. L'un de ces "gadgets" présente toutefois un grand intérêt conceptuel, comme le montrent Philippe Boulanger et Alain Cohen dans Le Trésor des paradoxes (Éditions Belin, 2...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...
