2.1 Introduction Designing, analyzing, and deploying communication systems requires the efficient utilization of available resources for reliable transfer of information between two parties. However, in practical systems some amount of unpredictability is tolerated in order to achieve better consumption of available resources. Thus the performance of signal processing algorithms, transceiver designs, etc., for a communication system are highly dependent on the propagation environment.
