GSM, GPRS and EDGE Performance

Beschreibung

GSM, GPRS and EDGE Performance - Second Edition provides a completeoverview of the entire GSM system. GSM (Global System forMobile Communications) is the digital transmission technique widelyadopted in Europe and supported in North America. It featurescomprehensive descriptions of GSM's main evolutionarymilestones - GPRS, (General Packet Radio Services) is apacket-based wireless communication service that promises datarates from 56 up to 114 Kbps and continuous connection to theInternet for mobile phone and computer users. AMR and EDGE(Enhanced Data GSM Environment), and such developments have nowpositioned GERAN (GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network) as a full 3G radiostandard. The radio network performance and capabilities ofGSM, GPRS, AMR and EDGE solutions are studied in-depth by usingrevealing simulations and field trials. Cellular operators must now roll out new 3G technologies capableof delivering wireless Internet based multimedia services in acompetitive and cost-effective way and this volume, divided intothree parts, helps to explain how: 1. Provides an introduction to the complete evolution of GSMtowards a radio access network that efficiently supports UMTSservices (GERAN). 2. Features a comprehensive study of system performance withsimulations and field trials. Covers all the major features such asbasic GSM, GPRS, EDGE and AMR and the full capability of the GERANradio interface for 3G service support is envisaged. 3. Discusses different 3G radio technologies and the position ofGERAN within such technologies. Featuring fully revised and updated chapters throughout, thesecond edition contains 90 pages of new material and featuresthe following new sections, enabling this reference to remain as aleading text in the area: * Expanded material on GPRS * Includes IMS architecture (Rel'5) and GERAN (Rel'6)features * Presents field trial results for AMR and narrowband * Provides EGPRS deployment guidelines * Features a new chapter on Service Performance An invaluable reference for Engineering Professionals, Researchand Development Engineers, Business Development Managers,Technical Managers and Technical Specialists working for cellularoperators
