More copies of this ISBN:Other titles in the Feher/Prentice Hall Digital & Wireless Communication Series series:Wireless and Personal Communications Systems (PCs): Fundamentals and Applications (Feher/Prentice Hall Digital & Wireless Communication Series)by Vijay Garg
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:PCS (Personal Communication Systems) will provide the convenience of FAX, Email and voice mail in a package similar to cellular phones. This book describes both Personal Communication Systems and mobile networks — and as they are envisioned for the future. KEY TOPICS: The first half of this book covers the theory of wireless communications, presenting the historical background of wireless telephony and the evolution of wireless technologies in the U.S. and Europe. The second half of the book presents the analog and digital (cellular and PCS) systems used in the U.S., Europe, and Japan. For wireless engineers and those interested in marketing wireless products in the United States. Book News Annotation:A comprehensive view of wireless communication technology written for
communication engineers, senior/graduate students in electrical,
telecommunication, or computer engineering, and for telecommunication
managers. Begins with overviews of wireless, cellular, and access
technologies. Continues into fundamentals of radio communications,
cellular communications, digital modulation, comparisons of U.S.,
European, and Japanese systems, network management and security
issues. Presume familiarity with concepts.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis:The next generation of personal communication systems give you voice, e-mail, and fax communication in a device much like the cell phone. This book, part of the Feher series in wireless and digital communications, links theory and practice, and aims to provide communications engineers with a reference point for the emerging PCS market.
