Résumé

Here's a comprehensive system-level treatment of the total realm of mobile radio communications -- complete coverage of both the basic concepts and the systems themselves -- to help you improve performance, increase productivity, and save time.

Part One, Basic Concepts, gives you a concise introduction to the main topics and techniques involved in mobile radio systems. You can brush up on classic areas such as propagation and signal processing, and get up to speed on more recent techniques and concepts such as security, planning, and mobility management. In Part Two, The Systems, you take an inside look at all categories of terrestrial mobile radio systems. Again you cover both traditional topics such as cellular and cordless systems, and more recent focuses such as mobile radio communications systems, paging, or radio data network systems. In fact, all recent standards are dealt with: TETRA, DECT, PACS, PHS, GSM, IS-95, PDC, CDPD, IEEE 802.11, and HYPERLAN.

The ideal reference for mobile communications engineers, researchers, and postgraduates alike, this is the guide to turn to for a truly global overview of the field. In it you see clearly how to:

Link budget calculations
Determine the impact of mobility signaling on the network signaling load
Design handover procedures
Plan for cellular and capacity increases

A first-of-its-kind resource, Handbook of Mobile Radio Networks lets you gain sharper insights into virtually all of today's rapidly-changing mobile radio systems security, planning, and mobility issues.
