This book provides an introductory treatment of the fundamentals of decision-making in a distributed framework. Classical detection theory assumes that complete observations are available at a central processor for decision-making. More recently, many applications have been identified in which observations are processed in a distributed manner and decisions are made at the distributed processors, or processed data (compressed observations) are conveyed to a fusion center that makes the global decision. Conventional detection theory has been extended so that it can deal with such distributed detection problems. A unified treatment of recent advances in this new branch of statistical decision theory is presented. Distributed detection under different formulations and for a variety of detection network topologies is discussed. This material is not available in any other book and has appeared relatively recently in technical journals. The level of presentation is such that the hook can be used as a graduate-level textbook. Numerous examples are presented throughout the book. It is assumed that the reader has been exposed to detection theory. The book will also serve as a useful reference for practicing engineers and researchers. I have actively pursued research on distributed detection and data fusion over the last decade, which ultimately interested me in writing this book. Many individuals have played a key role in the completion of this book.

Digital terrestrial television broadcasting (DTTB, also known as Digital Terrestrial Television, DTT) is one of the most important ways to deliver digital TV signals over the air in the VHF/UHF band, and is now under massive deployment worldwide. Written by a team of experts, this book will serve as a comprehensive guide for engineering students and practicing professionals in this area Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcasting covers the fundamentals on channel coding and modulation technologies with emphasis on those used in DTTB systems, from the general concept to the detailed analysis, receiver design and implementation. It introduces the Single Frequency Network (SFN) as well as the multiple-input-multiple-output concept for DTTB network planning and the measurement (including methodology and performance) of DTTB systems using Digital Terrestrial/Television Multimedia Broadcasting (DTMB) system as an example before introducing various mobile multimedia DTV systems based on DTTB networks. Important features of this book include: . General techniques for digital terrestrial TV broadcasting receiver design such as carrier synchronization, timing recovery, channel estimation, equalization, decoding, and de-interleaving with concrete implementation details. Key topics for the understanding of DTTV systems: frame structure, modulation, error correction, and channel coding. An introduction to the latest announced systems such as ATSC M/H and DVB-NGH The editors of this book are leading experts in the field and are actively involved in the Chinese national standard on the digital terrestrial television broadcasting activities. Jian Song is a Professor and Director of DTV Technology R&D Center at Tsinghua University (China). He is the associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Broadcasting, an administrative committee member of IEEE Broadcast Technology Society, and the vice chair of Working Party 6A of International Telecommunication Union. Dr. Song leads the efforts of promoting Chinese DTMB standard worldwide. Zhixing Yang is a Professor at Tsinghua University (China) and Deputy Director of the State Key Laboratory on Microwave and Digital Communications. Professor Yang led the research and development efforts for the Chinese DTMB Standard.
