Description
This book gives engineers the information they need to plan and build wireless systems using the highly successful global standard GSM. In fact, the fundamentals found here will be valuable to anyone working with any TDMA wireless system. Vijay Garg and J.E. Wilkes provide a complete technical foundation for understanding GSM speech and channel coding, modulation, propagation and other key GSM/TDMA concepts. With extensive practical examples, they cover crucial issues such as network management, security, wireless data services over GSM, and traffic engineering. They compare GSM with other TDMA networks, and preview next-generation UMT-2000 wireless GSM systems.
