Summary
Statistical signal processing is a set of statistical techniques that have been developed to deal with random signals in a number of applications. Since it is rooted in detection and estimation theory, which are well established in statistics, the fundamentals are not changed although new applications have emerged. Thus, I did not have any strong motivation to write another book on statistical signal processing until I was convinced that there was a sufficient amount of new results to be put together with fundamentals of detection and estimation theory in a single book.
These new results have emerged in applying statistical signal processing techniques to wireless communications since 1990. We can consider a few examples here. The first example is smart antenna. Smart antenna is an application of array signal processing to cellular systems to exploit spatial selectivity for improving spectral efficiency. Using antenna arrays, the spatial selectivity can be used to mitigate incoming interfering signals at a receiver or control the transmission direction of signals from a transmitter to avoid any interference with the receivers which do not want to receive the signal. The second example is based on the development of code division multiple access (CDMA) systems for cellular systems. In CDMA systems, multiple users are allowed to transmit their signals simultaneously with different signature waveforms. The matched filter can be employed to detect a desired signal with its signature waveform. This detector is referred to as the single-user detector as it only detects one user's signal.
