XXIV, 1152 Pages, Hardcover
Handbook/Reference Book
Short Description
Walke offers a comprehensive and detailed description of services and protocols of mobile radio networks. The book focuses on the radio-related specifics required for establishing a mobile communication system, which is far more complex than a wired network. All of the systems described have been implemented during research for analysis of their performance by event driven stochastic simulation under typical traffic loads.
Offers a comprehensive and detailed description of services and protocols of the systems. Particular attention is paid to the radio-related specifics required for establishment of a mobile communication system. All systems described have been implemented during research for analysis of their performance by event driven stochastic simulation under typical traffic loads. Consequently the similarities and differences between systems are described clearly and coherently.
