Product Description
Product Description
This is a technical introduction to the current developments within Mobile communications. It allows the reader to assess new developments, how to harness new technologies and how to improve existing systems. Although it does not evangelise, it does allow readers to keep abreast of new technologies and current trends.
From the Back Cover
The rapid growth and convergence of mobile communications has led to a need for new techniques and solutions and a demand for knowledgeable communication professionals who have a firm grasp of the background theory and technologies and who also understand the future trends and possibilities within the field.
In this book Jochen Schiller draws on extensive experience to present an essential grounding in mobile communications, explaining current developments in industry and research and providing a detailed technical background to the area. The book covers all of the important aspects of mobile and wireless communications from the Internet to signals, access protocols and cellular systems, all presented in a clear and structured way, with a focus on the crucial area of digital data transfer.
The early chapters give a concise overview of mobile communications applications, history and market, and provide a foundation in wireless communication, wireless transmission and Medium Access Control. The book goes on to devote a chapter to each of the 5 different groups of wireless network technologies: telecommunications systems, satellite systems, broadcast systems, wireless LAN and wireless ATM. The final chapters on the network layer and transport layer address problems and provide solutions using well-known Internet protocols such as TCP/IP within a mobile environment, concluding with a focus on WWW and Wireless Application Protocol (WAP).
If you are a professional networking engineer or manager wanting to know how mobility will affect applications, security and networks, this book will be an invaluable resource.
Mobile Communications will enable you to:
• recognise and understand the future trends in networking
• understand design decisions
• follow through paths of migration from fixed networks towards mixed fixed/mobile networks

This book offers a very comprehensive review of today's and emerging communication technologies. Starting with basics (modulations and multiplexing schemes), the author gives a very thorough review of all communication technologies from GSM to satellite communication and Internet. The great variety of communication protocols and standards are explained in details. Finally, there is also a rich review of emerging technologies such as GPRS, UMTS and Bluetooth with surprisingly lot of information.
The reader will acknowledge excellent support in rich bibliography and very comprehensive list of related web-sites. An excellent reference for research and design engineers, managers, general readers and students!

I highly recomend this book for any person interested in mobile and wireless communication. I bought this book as it was a core book for a course in my university degree but I found that it can help me in a lot of other topics that I wanted to learn about. Seriously if you are interested in mobile communication, this book is a must, very well organized and structured, easy to follow and very easy to understand

Format:Paperback
A excellent introduction to the latest mobile communications technologies. Sufficiently technical to give the reader a very good background into these areas, Schiller nevertheless manages to explain things with sufficient clarity for readers new to this area. The accompanying web site is also very useful.

A little rant about the manufacturing
The book is very good, there is no doubt about that. But, I take very good care of my books and while reading it, pages have randomly come loose. Read more
