Publisher's Note
GSM, cdmaOne and 3G Systems provides the reader with a comprehensive and unique description of the two leading second generation cellular radio systems: the global system for mobile communication (GSM) and cmdaOne. This novel approach encompasses a two-chapter format for both systems. One chapter follows a descriptive approach of a system, whilst the second chapter takes on an analytical stance. This imaginative strategy enables readers to by-pass the analysis if they so wish and concentrate on system descriptions. The focus then moves towards the forthcoming third generation (3G) cellular systems. Such a creative approach will have wide-ranging appeal to a large audience including practising engineers in the mobile radio industry, academics and the research and development community. – Includes an introductory chapter to provide the necessary background to cellular radio, in particular TDMA and CDMA
– Presents GSM and cdmaOne through a detailed description of the radio interface, as well as an in-depth mathematical analysis
– Discusses GSM Phase 2+ enhancements, such as GPRS and EDGE
– Features a comprehensive description of UMTS
– Addresses the evolution of cdmaOne to cdma2000
This is the first book to deal exclusively with the two existing global mobile radio systems, GSM and cdmaOne. It offers a detailed description of each system, coupled with mathematical analysis for both macrocellular and microcellular structures.
An introductory chapter offers a broad overview of the topic before embarking on more specialist chapters. There are two comprehensive chapters devoted to each system, one dealing with a detailed description of the radio interface, and the other providing an in depth mathematical analysis. This format allows readers whose main priority is not the mathematical analysis, such as practising engineers, to still make great use of the text, while it also will appeal to academics with the more theoretical, deeper appreciation of the subject.
Also included is a road map of how the radio interfaces of these two world standards, GSM and cdmaOne, are likely to evolve into third generation systems.
