This book provides comprehensive coverage of the protocols of communication systems. The book is divided into four parts. Part I covers the basic concepts of system and protocol design and specification, overviews the models and languages for informal and formal specification of protocols, and describes the specification language SDL. In the second part, the basic notions and properties of communication protocols and protocol stacks are explained, including the treatment of the logical correctness and the performance of protocols. In the third part, many methods for message transfer, on which specific communication protocols are based, are explained and formally specified in the SDL language. The fourth part provides for short descriptions of some specific protocols, mainly used in IP networks, in order to acquaint a reader with the practical use of communication methods presented in the third part of the book. The book is relevant to researchers, academics, professionals and students in communications engineering.
- Provides comprehensive yet granular coverage of the protocols of communication systems
- Allows readers the ability to understand the formal specification of communication protocols
- Specifies communication methods and protocols in the specification language SDL, giving readers practical tools to venture on their own

Drago Hercog received dipl.ing. (Diplome Engineer), MSc. (Master of Science) and DSc. (Doctor of Science) degrees in electrical engineering in 1974, 1984 and 1988, respectively, all from the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. He was employed by the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Electrical Engineering from 1974 to 2015, finally as Associate Professor. He spent nine months with the high-tech electronics company AMI in Silicon Valley, California, USA, working on software for VLSI design. He taught several courses on communication networks and protocols, on mobile networks and on electromagnetic wave propagation at the University of Ljubljana. He also taught courses on communication systems and protocols at ESIGELEC and two other high engineering schools in France. He published two books in Slovenian language on electromagnetic wave propagation and communication networks, respectively. He wrote textbooks in French and English for the internal use at the high engineering schools inFrance. His most important area of research were communication protocols. He also published many papers in refereed scientific journals and conferences. He retired in 2015.
