Readings

These are various readings that we recommend based on our experience. It can also be used as a reference for anyone interested in the field.

Introductory books:

1. “A First Course in Digital Communications” , by Ed Shwedyk and Ha H. Nguyen. The best introductory book on Digital Communication. It interduce all the necessary  and fundamental topics in the field.
2. “Introduction to Multiple Antenna Communications and Reconfigurable Surfaces”, by Emil Björnson and Özlem Tuğfe Demir. Very good, and up to date introductory reference on wireless communication. It interduce various foundational topics very well.

Wireless Communication:

1. “Massive MIMO Networks: Spectral, Energy, and Hardware Efficiency”, by Emil Björnson, Jakob Hoydis, and Luca Sanguinetti. Very good reference that interduce massive MIMO principles and the main spectral efficiency expressions. 
2. ..

Seminal Works:

1. “A Mathematical Theory of Communication”, by Claude Shannon. One of the most important paper in digital communication, where Shannon founded the field of information theory.
2. “Noncooperative Cellular Wireless with Unlimited Numbers of Base Station Antennas”, by Thomas L. Marzetta. The seminal paper that introduced massive MIMO.
