Abstract

The design of information systems operating in and being corrupted by Gaussian (thermal) noise is a keystone subject area. The application areas are as numerous as are the uses of the radio spectrum. In this chapter we give a very general overview and explicitly present a theoretical framework from which a vast array of practical simulation problems can be viewed and solved.

Question: Why did you use the Gaussian assumption? Answer: Because it’s the normal assumption!

Normal, pero un poquito acelera’o!
