The third generation (3G) mobile communication system is the next big thing in the world of mobile telecommunications. The first generation included analog mobile phones [e.g., Total Access Communications Systems (TACS), Nordic Mobile Telephone (NMT), and Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS)], and t ...

This book addresses two aspects of network operation quality; namely, resource management and fault management. Network operation quality is among the functions to be fulfilled in order to offer quality of service, QoS, to the end user. It is characterized by four parameters: – packet loss; – dela ...

For nearly a hundred years telecommunications provided mainly voice services and very low speed data (telegraph and telex). With the advent of the Internet, several data services became mainstream in telecommunications; to the point that voice is becoming an accessory to IP-centric data networks. To ...

In the nineteenth century, scientists, mathematician, engineers and innovators started investigating electromagnetism. The theory that underpins wireless communications was formed by Maxwell. Early demonstrations took place by Hertz, Tesla and others. Marconi demonstrated the first wireless transmis ...

Fordecades,microwavelineofsight(LOS)linkshavebeenoneofthebasictechnolo- gies used to build telephone networks. Until 1980, the fast rollout of high capacity transport networks and deployment of links in areas with challenging geographic characteristics could not be understood without this technology ...

Due to the asymmetry between the amount of data traffic in the downlink and uplink direction of nowadays and future wireless networks, a proper design of the transceivers in the broadcast channel is inevitable in order to satisfy the users’ demands on data rate and transmission quality. This book d ...

Mobile multimedia communication is increasingly in demand because of the basic need to communi- cate at any time, anywhere, using any technology. In addition, to voice communication, people have a desire to access a range of other services that comprise multimedia elements—text, image, animation, h ...

Wireless metropolitan area networks (WirelessMANs) is emerging as a promising broadband wireless access (BWA) technology to provide high-speed, high bandwidth efficiency and high-capacity multimedia services for residential as well as enterprise applications. It is observed that WirelessMAN (e.g., W ...
