With around 3 billion subscribers, GSM is the world’s most commonly
used technology for wireless communication. Providing an overview
of the innovations that have fuelled this phenomena, GSM:
Architecture, Protocols and Services, Third Edition offers a
clear introduction to the field of cellular systems. Special
emphasis is placed on system architecture and protocol aspects, and
topics range from addressing concepts through mobility management
to network management.
This third edition contains around 25% new and reworked material
and has been thoroughly updated to encompass recent advances and
future trends. It serves as both an introductory textbook for
graduate students as well as a reference resource for
telecommunications engineers and researchers.
This edition:
* Presents capacity enhancement methods like sectorization, the
application of adaptive antennas for Spatial Filtering for
Interference Reduction (SFIR) and Space Division Multiple Access
(SDMA)
* Provides a detailed introduction to GPRS, HSCSD, and EDGE for
packet-switched services and higher data rates
* Features updated coverage on the vastly expanded range of GSM
services, including an examination of Multimedia Messaging Service
(MMS)
* Adopts a highly graphical approach with numerous
illustrations
