This book presents the technology and underlying principles of wireless communications systems. Written by a leading authority, it provides the perfect introduction for the professional or the student who has a basic understanding of telecommunications. Each system is described using a unified framework so the reader can easily compare and contrast the systems. More specifically, key features such as architecture, radio transmission, logical channels, messages, mobility management, security, power control, and handoff are addressed for each system. In addition, an analysis of such design goals as low price, wide geographical coverage, transmission quality, privacy, and spectrum efficiency helps the reader understand why the various systems have such divergent designs. Each chapter concludes with a set of exercises, and the last chapter is dedicated to twelve tutorials that provide concise explanations of technical subjects essential to wireless communications.

em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"Wireless Communications Systems Design provides the basic knowledge and methodology for wireless communications design. The book mainly focuses on a broadband wireless communication system based on OFDM/OFDMA system because it is widely used in the modern wireless communication system. It is divided into three parts: wireless communication theory (part I), wireless communication block design (part II), and wireless communication block integration (part III). Written by an expert with various experience in system design (standards, research and development)

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.

With the increasing need for more effective and efficient responses to man-made and natural public safety threats, the necessity for improved private mobile and commercial wireless digital communication systems has become apparent. This one-of-a-kind resource describes today's public safety communication requirements and radio systems from a technical perspective, and shows you how communication systems are evolving to meet the growing demands of multimedia wireless applications.

Despite frustrating customers and loss of revenue for telecommunications providers, cellular network congestion has remained a problem for which few solutions have been found. Covering GSM, GPRS, UMTS and beyond 3G systems, this practical book breaks new ground by providing you with proven techniques for decreasing blocking and dropped call rate due to network congestion. Using real measurements, this book clearly shows you that the maximum traffic that can be accommodated in a wireless network is not a constant value and varies significantly.
