Machine Learning for Wireless Communications and Networking An Introduction

Machine Learning for Wireless Communications and Networking: An Introduction provides an easy-to-understand introduction to machine learning methods and techniques and their application to wireless communications. The book covers a wide range of machine learning techniques, starting with concepts related to statistical signal processing (i.e.,decision/detection and estimation), taking advantage of the commonality of knowledge between statistical learning and statistical communication theory that the electronic engineer will be familiar with. Each chapter focuses on a class of machine learning techniques, clearly explaining the principles with a supporting range of examples in general wireless communications, wireless networks, sensor networks, and signal processing.

Every chapter also has a dedicated section applying machine learning techniques to specific, state-of-the-art wireless network applications. This book will be ideal for graduate and senior undergraduate students in wireless communications and networking who need to understand and apply machine learning techniques, researchers in wireless communications, signal processing, wireless network professionals who need background knowledge in machine learning for wireless systems and networks, and engineers and professionals in the wireless communications and networking industry seeking to learn this important new technology which is having a major impact in the field.
