Andrew ViterbiEl Gamal and Kim have produced the most extensive and inclusive text on all aspects of information theory to date. They have collected and organized the fruits of six decades of research demonstrating how Shannon’s original seminal theory has been enlarged to solve a multitude of important problems mostly encountered in multiple link communication networks. The authors stress the significance of these results for timely applications such as multi-hop wireless networks. Beyond its value as a textbook for an advanced course on information theory, the attention given to motivating applications makes it useful for practicing communication engineers as well
Robert GallagerEl Gamal and Kim have written a masterpiece. It brings organization and clarity to a large and previously chaotic field. The mathematics is done cleanly and carefully, and the intuition behind the results is brought out with clarity
Sergio VerduOn offer in this text is a superb unified pedagogical treatment including results that heretofore were only available in their original, often arcane, sources. While key regions in network information theory remain terra incognita, future discoveries are bound to owe a debt of gratitude to El Gamal and Kim’s comprehensive magnum opus
