Description
This book explains the evolutions of architecture for mobiles andsummarizes the different technologies:
- 2G: the GSM (Global System for Mobile) network, the GPRS(General Packet Radio Service) network and the EDGE (Enhanced Datafor Global Evolution) evolution;
- 3G: the UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System)network and the HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) evolutions:
- HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access),
- HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access),
- HSPA+;
- 4G: the EPS (Evolved Packet System) network.
The telephone service and data transmission are the two mainservices provided by these networks. The evolutions arefundamentally dictated by the increase in the rate of datatransmission across the radio interface between the network andmobiles.
This book is intended as a readily understandable support to helpstudents and professionals wishing to quickly acquire the mainconcepts of networks for mobiles understand the technologiesdeployed.
