Abstract
In this chapter, the brief history and the main categories of the multi-user (multiple access) mobile communication systems, as well as some of their hybrids, are introduced. Furthermore, the disturbances encountered within the physical transmission channel, such as noise and fading, are presented. The concept of the bit error rate (BER), which is used to measure the effects of the channel imperfections on the transmitted signal, is then outlined. The procedure of evaluating the bit error rate is then demonstrated when noise and fading are present in the channel. Finally, the motivation of the book is stated by demonstrating the importance of synchronization among the transmitter and the receiver through its effect on the BER performance of the system.
