A few words
about our book:
Design and
Performance of 3G Wireless Networks and Wireless LANs is for
wireless communication system engineers, network engineers, professionals,
and researchers. Network architectures of UMTS, CDMA2000 systems, and how
major network elements within the 3G networks can be designed, are
described. In addition, the authors describe how end-to-end performance
for voice and data services can be determined. They also provide
guidelines on how radio access networks and core networks can be
engineered. Of equal importance, is inclusion of explanations of various
wireless LAN standards (e.g. IEEE 802.11a (54 Mbps OFDM standard),
802.11b (2-11 Mbps standard), 802.11e (QoS)
etc) and how voice and data services can be offered in the wireless LAN
systems.
Additional highlights include:
* Overview of core principles of
wireless communications (e.g., FDMA, TDMA, CDMA), airlink capacity
analysis, and evaluation.
* Traffic model descriptions and
illustrations for circuit-switched and packet-switched services.
* In-depth coverage of how base
station and radio network controller can be designed to meet capacity
requirements.
* Discussion of unique design issues
in 3G networks, innovative solutions, and possible new 3G features.
This material also provides capacity
engineering guidelines for 3G networks and wireless LANs. Review
exercises are provide at the end of each chapter to facilitate teaching
and self study.
