DESCRIPTION:
Awesome, Readable Summary of Wireless Engr and Deployment P. Bedell This is the book you've been waiting for, if you're looking for a detailed summary of how wireless networks are designed from an engineering perspective. Goes into all the details of how (and why) engineering is approached the way it is - in general - and how it relates to all the major, modern wireless technologies such as GSM, CDMA, IS-136 and iDen. This book explains - in English - the design and operations. Erlang Grade of Service Botched Referring specifically to Ch. 5, I was shocked to see such a botched presentation of both the Erlang B and C equations. The Erlang B formula for the grade of service is presented incorrectly in eqn. (5.2) for 'n' channels and traffic intensity 'E' in Erlangs. First, the summation is wrong. They have it written as a sum over: n = 0 n, but 'n' is a constant, not an index. It should be written using a separate i
International customers require global networks; more customers mean bigger networks; new services create more complicated networks. Here is realistic advice on metrics, troubleshooting methods, design guidelines, revenue assurance, and more, from a team that has performed the same services for AT&T Wireless, Nextel, and Verizon. The key features include: design rules of thumb; how to move from TDMA to GSM; optimization options for mobile data; and, hardcore engineering problems like prepaid services and roamer validation.. As wireless networks take ever-bigger bites out of the $350 billion dollar telephone market, they create their own performance problems. Then there's "changing out" the network; each time a provider introduces a new technology or capability, it has to do so without interrupting service delivery to existing customers
Both the RF and network aspects of the engineering are described. The text emphasizes application and is filled with examples and solutions from actual practice. With emphasis throughout on problem solving, the text moves from a description of the key systems--including PCS, WLL, WAP, Bluetooth, VoIP--to applications in radio engineering, wireless mobile radio technology, RF design guidelines, and system performance. Five platforms are covered: AMPS, IS-136, GSM/GPRS, CDMA, AND iDEN. Smith and Gervelis' experience in industry is in evidence in this thorough and practical text to the wireless network industry. Practical chapters are also included on billing and charging, revenue assurance, system documentation, network and RF planning, and organization and training (Sci-Tech Book News 2003-09-01)
Gervelis is the co-author of Cellular Design and Optimization.. He also worked with many landline-based carriers, including Verizon, BellSouth, Southwestern Bell, and ATAndT. Mr. Clint Smith, P.E., is Vice President of Network Engineering for ASI, and is currently designing 3G migration solutions for some of the world's largest telecom companies. He was previously Director of Network Engineering for TeleCorp PCS, where he d
