Résumé

You don't have to be an engineer to understand how cellular and wireless local loop (WLL) systems work. At last, here's a book written specifically for non-technical personnel who work with engineers, but aren't familiar with the engineering concepts and technical aspects of cellular radio and telecommunications systems.

Using plain, easy-to-read language, with no mathematics, this book helps you understand the "hows and whys" behind cellular network design, and enables you to...

Recognize the basic similarities between cellular and WLL systems, and understand their overall design functions
Learn how cellular radio systems successfully locate and send calls to subscribers
Grasp the underlying techniques used to transfer radio signals from a transmitter to a receiver
Identify and compare several key radio systems in use today, including fast-moving satellite personal communications systems and the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM)
Look ahead to future cellular and WLL systems, based on industry trends such as convergence, the Information Society, mobile/fixed integration, and more

Real-world examples, chapter-end questions and solutions, a complete glossary of terms and acronyms, and "at-a-glance" sections of key concepts throughout the book make it ideal reading for managers, business planners, marketing professionals, and other non-technical personnel who need a basic understanding of how these systems work. It also serves as an excellent introductory guide for first-year students in communications engineering and other related fields of study.
