Most books on network planning and optimization provide limited coverage of either GSM or WCDMA techniques. Few scrape the surface of HSPA, and even fewer deal with TD-SCDMA. Filling this void, Evolved Cellular Network Planning and Optimization for UMTS and LTE presents an accessible introduction to all stages of planning and...
Requirements for next generation networks (NGNs) are fueling an architectural evolution. Service providers are obliged to give users access to content anytime, anyhow, anywhere, on any device. This requires a converged infrastructure in which users across multiple domains can be served through a single unified domain and all network services...
Pocket PC Network Programming is the resource developers need to exploit the power of mobile technology and high-speed wireless connections. This book is a comprehensive tutorial and reference for writing network applications on Pocket PC 2002 and Pocket PC 2002 Phone Edition devices. It...
GPRS is now an established technology allowing packet-data access to the internet and intranets and it is expected that consumer demand for the service will continue to increase, especially when the higher data rates are made available.
The GPRS technology is also carried forward to the 3G systems and it is vital that engineers working in...
I have noticed over my 20-year career in wireless engineering that the most effective technicians and engineers are those who understood the basic fundamentals of radio frequency engineering. Too often, technicians understand how to follow the test procedures or troubleshooting guidelines to make the RF measurements, but does not understand what...
Building on the success of the first edition, Mobile Messaging Technologies and Services offers extensive new and revised material based upon the latest research and industry developments. While early implementations targeted person-to-person messaging, MMS has now evolved to facilitate such requirements as the mass delivery of...
Optical networks, undersea networks, GSM, UMTS…The recent explosion in broadband communications technologies has opened a new world of fast, flexible services and applications. To successfully implement these services, however, requires a solid understanding of the concepts and capabilities of broadband technologies and networks. ...
Many books have been written about IMS, so why do we think another is needed? Most of
the existing books are written from the perspective of those who implement the technology,
either network vendors or operators. There is no such focus for developers. The standards
that form the basis of IMS are complex – as they are...
The objective of this book is to provide an introduction to the basic principles in the
analysis and design of communication systems. It is primarily intended for use as a text
for a first course in communications, either at a senior level or at a first-year graduate
level.
Thorough coverage of basic digital communication...
information appliances - phones, PDAs, laptops and other devices. The ARM is at the heart of this trend, leading the way in system-on-chip (SoC) development and becoming the processor core of choice for many embedded applications.
System-on-chip technology is changing the way we use computers, but it also sets designers the very...
With the proliferation of Wi-Fi hotspots and advances in mobile-phone technology, there aren't many excuses today for not being in contact with your friends, family and business associates when you travel. Using just your laptop computer and cell phone, you can stay connected from all around the globe. But not so fastdo you...
The engineer's guide to the planning and implementation of UMTS networks for 3G telecoms deployment.
UMTS is the wireless network technology behind the rollout of Third Generation (3G) mobile telecoms networks which will bring video, music and internet services to the cellphone and a range of electronic products.
