Mobile and Wireless Networks Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is a must for anyone just entering the cellular telecommunications field or who just wants to fine tune his knowledge. The author definitely understands the ins-and-outs of this ever so changing field. He presents a down to earth comparison of mankinds technological advances to nature, which was superb. He gives a general explanation of essential aspects of cellular communications and then dedicates a chapter to each to further expand on the same. He keeps the explanations to a level that is understandable to a person with no technical background but yet instructional for any engineer or computer programmer. His presentation is analytical and systematic but not boring. This book is a great technical reference guide, outstanding for training personnel on general and specific topics in cellular telecommunications. It should be a part of everyones professional library. A must if you are thinking of working in the telecommunications field or just wish to understand what its all about.

Analog cellular networks are rapidly being joined by digital cellular systems based on GSM and other new standards, and by new PCS systems. Wireless digital data is moving rapidly into the mainstream. More than technology is changing: carriers, equipment manufacturers and end-users are facing new issues of security, privacy and network management. Mobile and Wireless Networks is a clear, comprehensive and up-to-date guide to mobile and wireless networks, authored by Uyless Black, one of the world's leading telecommunications consultants and educators. The book focuses not only on the physical aspects of wireless networks, but also on the data link and network layers. Mobile and Wireless Networks introduces the basics of wireless and mobile systems, and then takes a detailed look at the international wireless/mobile infrastructure--including AMPS, IS-41, TDMA, CDMA, the GSM standard, and the PCS systems that are rapidly coming to market.There are detailed explanations of both the technical and licensing issues surrounding PCS, including coverage of the recent FCC license auctions. Black also covers wireless data, including wireless LANs, CDPD, enhanced throughput cellular modems, and other alternatives. Finally, Black considers the issues of security and network management that will help determine the success or failure of wireless networks in the marketplace.
