With around 3 billion subscribers, GSM is the world's most commonlyused technology for wireless communication. Providing an overviewof the innovations that have fuelled this phenomena, GSM:Architecture, Protocols and Services, Third Edition offers aclear introduction to the field of cellular systems. Specialemphasis is placed on system architecture and protocol aspects, andtopics range from addressing concepts through mobility managementto network management.
This third edition contains around 25% new and reworked materialand has been thoroughly updated to encompass recent advances andfuture trends. It serves as both an introductory textbook forgraduate students as well as a reference resource fortelecommunications engineers and researchers.
This edition:
* Presents capacity enhancement methods like sectorization, theapplication of adaptive antennas for Spatial Filtering forInterference Reduction (SFIR) and Space Division Multiple Access(SDMA)
* Provides a detailed introduction to GPRS, HSCSD, and EDGE forpacket-switched services and higher data rates
* Features updated coverage on the vastly expanded range of GSMservices, including an examination of Multimedia Messaging Service(MMS)
* Adopts a highly graphical approach with numerousillustrations
