Introduction to 3G Mobile Communications
An
introduction to third-generation (3G) mobile communication system principles,
concepts and applications. It presents the basics of UMTS systems without
getting bogged down in advanced mathematics. The volume contains: an overview
of UMTS systems; information on 3G technology standards; a review of the
wideband CDMA air interface; details on network architecture; and guidance
in network planning and management. Other key topics include new concepts
in the UTMS network, 3G system signalling procedures, 3G services and
applications, modulation and coding, and standardization organizations
and industry groups. Moreover, the work takes a look at the future of
wireless communications, projecting the continued evolution of 3G systems.
Wireless Network Evolution 2G to 3G
Fundamental concepts and theoretical background behind code-division-multiple-access (CDMA)—And the applications of CDMA technology to both cellular and PCS systems.Provides a foundation for understanding the underlying mathematics of spread spectrum, as well as the related 3G wireless standards, while allowing the reader to apply the concepts to practical wireless systems.
3G Wireless Networks
This book digs into the gritty details of day to day network operations.
It details the difficulties service providers will experience in making
the changeover from 2nd Generation systems (CDMA etc.) to 2.5 generation
systems like WAP and EDGE, and finally to full throttle 3G networks by
explicating key standards, digging deep into the guts of the relevant
network protocols, and detailing the full range of compatibility issues
between the US (CDMA 2000) and European (WCDMA) versions of the standard.
GSM, cdmaOne and 3G Systems
GSM and cdmaOne are the foremost second generation mobile radio systems deployed across the globe. The emerging third generation system - UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems) - is due to be launched commercially in 2002.
The first book to exclusively examine GSM and cdmaOne, this unique volume presents a detailed description of each system, coupled with a mathematical analysis for both macrocellular and microcellular structures. Detailing the latest advances in the field, it is a valuable source of research for both practicing and postgraduate engineers.
Features a road map of how the radio interfaces of GSM and cdmaOne are likely to evolve. Devotes two chapters to each system, the first discussing the radio interface, and the second providing an in-depth mathematical investigation
3G Cellular and PCS Demystified
In 3G Wireless Demystified, telecom experts Lawrence Harte, Richard Levine, and Roman Kikta provide a big picture overview of 3rd Generation universal mobile telecommunications systems (UMTS) written for wireless operators, equipment manufacturers, broadband applications developers, and others who want to stay up to date with the wireless industry.
This is a semi-technical overview of the features and operation of third
generation cellular and PCS systems. It offers an overview of the evolution
of 3G cellular and PCS, describes the types of technology, design issues
for handset and network systems, and provides a sense of future direction.
