Abstract
To sustain the rapid proliferation of mobile communications, it is essential for service providers to standardize their networks. This volume focuses specifically on the network-oriented functions of all digital wireless and mobile radio systems currently existing or planned for the near future.
Building on the author's own academic and industrial experience in the field, Mobile Radio Networks offers a comprehensive and detailed description of services and protocols of the systems. Particular attention is paid to the radio-related specifics required for establishment of a mobile communication system which is far more complex than a wired network. All systems described have been implemented during research for analysis of their performance by event driven stochastic simulation under typical traffic loads. Consequently the similarities and differences between systems are described clearly and coherently. This practical, detailed study of a fast-moving field avoids unnecessary theoretical approaches to ensure the clarity of the facts presented for engineers in industry as well as students of mobile communications.
Notable features in this book include:
- Fundamentals of radio transmission, multiplexing, error protection and random access
- An up-to-date insight into protocols used by all the major mobile providers
- Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM 900/1800/1900)
- Terrestrial Trunked Radio (ETSI/TETRA) and related system
- Detailed analysis of GSM driven services, such as Airline Telephone System (TFTS), Mobile Satellite Radio (LEO and ICO) and Cordless Networks including Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) and DECT-to-GSM interworking
- Wireless Local Area Networking (WLAN) based on ETSI/HIPERLAN and IEEE802.11 standards
- Previews of forthcoming standards like 3rd Generation Mobile Radio UMTS/IMT2000 and ETSI/ATM-Forum Wireless ATM systems
- Universal Personal Telecommunications
