Multiple Access Protocols for Mobile Communications

Beschreibung

A comprehensive discussion of multiple access protocols forcellular systems and the consideration of the specific constraintsand capabilities of second and third generation systems regardingthe multiple access protocols. Beginning by introducing the cellular concept and discussing secondand third generation cellular communication systems, including theevolution from these systems to IP-based systems, the authors thenidentify the requirements for and problems related to multipleaccess. In accordance with ETSI and 3GPP standards, a split is madeinto basic multiple access schemes such as CDMA, TDMA and FDMA andmultiple access protocols. The pros and cons of CDMA and TDMA forthird generation systems are discussed as well as medium access inGSM, GPRS and UMTS, essentially based on R-ALOHA protocols in allthese systems. Data access delay and voice dropping performance isassessed and the different UTRA modes are considered. * Provides an accessible text for individuals with little priorknowledge of cellular communication systems or multiple accessprotocols * Provides an overview of existing material on cellularcommunications, multiple access protocols and a combination of thetwo * Presents extensive research carried out by the authors includingextended packet reservation multiple access protocols for TDMA,CDMA and hybrid CDMA/TDMA air interfaces, protocol enhancements andmodelling of the physical layer A valuable reference resource for researchers and engineers in thefield of cellular communications and packet-based communications,as well as postgraduate and research students in this rapidlyevolving field.
