Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:With around 3 billion subscribers, GSM is the world's most commonly used technology for wireless communication. Providing an overview of the innovations that have fuelled this phenomena, GSM: Architecture, Protocols and Services, Third Editionoffers a clear introduction to the field of cellular systems. Special emphasis is placed on system architecture and protocol aspects, and topics range from addressing concepts through mobility management to network management. This third edition contains around 25% new and reworked material and has been thoroughly updated to encompass recent advances and future trends. It serves as both an introductory textbook for graduate students as well as a reference resource for telecommunications engineers and researchers. This edition:
Synopsis:This third edition has evolved from the previous two editions, expanding upon and re-working them to provide a more logical and thorough approach. The change in title (Architecture replaces Switching) reflects the new emphasis on the architectural aspect of GSM networking. The authors draw on their extensive experience in the field to provide a thorough overview of the existing status and future potential GSM. This is a welcome addition at a time when competing titles focus on specific topics within GSM - such as General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) and EDGE - but fail to provide a broad overview, or at least one pitched at this level. Fully revised and updated, this comprehensive resource provides an authoritative overview on the current status and future of Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) More than 1 billion people worldwide are now using GSM mobile phones, making this edition essential to cover the numerous advances made in this technology Focuses on recent developments in high speed circuit switched data service and enhanced data rates for GSM revolution technologies Includes expanded sections on subjects such as mobile radio channel, the cellular principle, and system architecture Synopsis:'This third edition has evolved from the previous two editions, expanding upon and re-working them to provide a more logical and thorough approach.
