The merging of voice and data on a single network opens powerful
new possibilities in communications. Only a fundamental
understanding of both technologies will ensure you are equipped to
maximise their full potential.
Convergence Technologies for 3G Networks describes the
evolution from cellular to a converged network that integrates
traditional telecommunications and the technology of the
Internet. In particular, the authors address the application
of both IP and ATM technologies to a cellular environment,
including IP telephony protocols, the use of ATM/AAL2 and the new
AAL2 signalling protocol for voice/multimedia and data transport as
well as the future of the UMTS network in UMTS Release 5/6 All-IP
architecture.
Convergence Technologies for 3G Networks:
* Explains the operation and integration of GSM, GPRS, EDGE,
UMTS, CDMA2000, IP, and ATM.
* Provides practical examples of 3G connection scenarios.
* Describes signalling flows and protocol stacks.
* Covers IP and ATM as used in a 3G context.
* Addresses issues of Qo S and real-time application support.
* Includes IP/SS7 internetworking and IP softswitching.
* Outlines the architecture of the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)
for UMTS.
Convergence Technologies for 3G Networks is suited for
professionals from the telecommunications, data communications and
computer networking industries..
