Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides an introduction to the basic concepts of a wireless communication system. First, a simple point-to-point wireless link is considered and the key techniques at the transmitter and receiver that are required for a successful communication are discussed. The wireless medium being inherently a shared medium, multiple access methods to support numerous users in a given area is critical. This chapter also discusses several multiuser communication schemes. Specifically, two popular multiuser transmission strategies - CDMA and OFDM, are described and their merits and challenges discussed. We also provide a brief introduction to Shannon‘s theoretic capacity concept and discuss simple coding methods used in wireless channels.
