3rd generation radio systems will be increasinglydeveloped, deployed and operated in the years to come. TDD is oneof two main approaches to implementing these 3G systems, so thatthere will be an increasing need for the engineering community tolearn quickly and comprehensively about the TDD technology. As 3Gsystems become popular, the topics will no doubt be introduced toacademic curricula and will also provide a basis for futureresearch.
This book provides comprehensive coverage of TDD. It isessentially a Radio Access Network technology and the book embracesthe structure of the radio interface as well as the user equipmentand network equipment. In addition, Wideband TDD also coversthe connection of the TDD Radio Access Network to the 3G CoreNetwork and public switched networks (PSTN) as well as public andprivate packet networks (Internet and Intranet). Services,applications and performance are also addressed. Finally, TDD iscompared with other radio access technologies, namely FDD, TD-SCDMAand WLAN. TD-SCDMA is the Narrowband version of TDD in 3G, and WLANstandards address wireless computer communications.
Although there are a number of books published on 3G and UMTS,most of the focus of these books has been on FDD component of3G.
Wideband TDD:
* Describes all aspects of TDD in a single comprehensivemanner
* Addresses TDD technology, TDD systems and the TDD marketplace
* Discusses deployment scenarios and Radio Resource Managementfor TDD
* Provides a comparison of TDD with other radio accesstechnologies, namely FDD, TD-SCDMA and wireless LANs
This will prove an essential addition to the bookshelf ofprofessional communication and software engineers, developmentengineers, technical marketing professionals, researchers inindustry, wireless equipment vendors such as Siemens, Nokia andInterDigital, operators and service providers.
It will also provide a comprehensive overview of TDD forpostgraduates who are taking advanced courses in Mobile Wirelesscommunications.
