This textbook provides a comprehensive review of the evolution of mobile communications and networking from the birth of cellular networks to the forthcoming sixth-generation mobile communications, which is envisioned to be commercially deployed first in 2030. New students who are coming to wireless communications/electrical engineering/computer networking/telecommunications and network engineering can benefit from this book by quickly grasping the whole history of cellular networks, understanding its trends. This tutorial styled textbook provides a comprehensive overview, but also provides details of the system design aspects of the various cellular generations up to 6G and how they build on each other. The book also gives the student an overview of different cellular generations'motivations, core technologies, architecture, key performance indicators, killer applications, market drivers, and the general/main features of each. The authors capture the big picture and fundamental drivers of wireless communication technologies, and then motivate students to understand the importance of learning related subjects such as electromagnetics theory, antenna design, analog and digital circuits, signal processing, Internet protocols, artificial intelligence, etc. The book features homework questions and case studies throughout.

Marking a distinct departure from the perspectives of frame theory and discrete transforms, this book provides a comprehensive mathematical and algorithmic introduction to wavelet theory. As such, it can be used as either a textbook or reference guide.As a textbook for graduate mathematics students and beginning researchers, it offers detailed information on the basic theory of framelets and wavelets, complemented by self-contained elementary proofs, illustrative examples/figures, and supplementary exercises.Further, as an advanced reference guide for experienced researchers and practitioners in mathematics, physics, and engineering, the book addresses in detail a wide range of basic and advanced topics (such as multiwavelets/multiframelets in Sobolev spaces and directional framelets) in wavelet theory, together with systematic mathematical analysis, concrete algorithms, and recent developments in and applications of framelets and wavelets.Lastly, the book can also be used to teach on or study selected special topics in approximation theory, Fourier analysis, applied harmonic analysis, functional analysis, and wavelet-based signal/image processing.
