1.3. Chapter Summaries

This book is mainly organized into two parts: home transmission environment (Chapters 2 to 5) and corresponding wired/wireless protocols (Chapters 6 to 11). The last chapter (Chapter 12) is about home network topology and interconnection protocols. Each chapter in the first part of the book discusses a particular environment by walking through corresponding transmission medium characteristics, channel models, noise models, and channel capacities. Some MATLAB files for related calculations are also included. Cable physical dimensions are presented; then corresponding channel models are constructed based on two-port network analysis for wired environment. ISM band regulations are discussed and a few previously published channel ...
