Product Description

Review

"The book is essential for industry professionals in the telecommunication business and telecommunication systems postgraduate students." (Computing Reviews, June 6, 2008)

"...this is one of the best GSM texts that we’ve read, and an excellent engineer’s introduction to EPS." (IPL Telecasting, February 2008)



Product Description

2G/GSM and 3G/UMTS are key mobile communication technologies, chosen by more than 2 billion people around the world. In order to adapt to new services, increasing demand for user bandwidth, quality of service and requirements for network convergence, major evolutions are introduced in 3G network standard.

Evolved Packet System (EPS) presents the EPS evolution of the 3G/UMTS standard introduced by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard committee. This new topic is looked at from a system perspective, from the radio interface to network and service architecture. Hundreds of documents being issued by Standard organisations are summarised in one book to allow the reader to get an accessible comprehensive view of EPS evolution.

  • Proposes a system view of Evolved UMTS, from the radio to Core and service architecture

  • Gives a comprehensive and global view of the system that technical specifications do not provide

  • Describes the new system as well as the inheritance and migration from 2G/GSM and 3G/UMTS

  • Written by experts in the field who specialise in two complementary but very different technical domains (i.e. "radio interface" and "network architecture")

  • Contains many figures and examples for better understanding.

This book is essential for industry professionals in the telecommunication business, telecommunication system architects and designers, product manufacturers and operators and postgraduate students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough and clear explanation of the technical aspects, 24 April 2009
With both CDMA and GSM/UMTS operators adopting LTE as their common 4th generation standard, it's essential to have a good grasp of the technical architecture and workings of this new standard. Evolved Packet System covers both the radio interface LTE (Long Term Evolution) and it's complementary core network EPC (Evolved Packet Core - also known as SAE System Architecture Evolution). Both must be installed before you can use either, so it makes sense to write a book covering both.

The book provides a good introductory section of the evolution of UMTS to LTE, setting out where IMS and EPC fit in, and how these relate to the UMTS architecture.

There are around 100 pages of very detailed explanation of the LTE radio interface, which is based on OFDM (same as WiFi and WiMAX), followed by similar 50 page treatment of the EPC (core network) including signalling protocols. A couple of useful sections put this in context covering a session lifecyle (attachment, registration, session setup/teardown), and four example services.

I thought this book dealt with the subject in a rigorous and thorough manner. The authors share some insights into why the technical choices were made, for example how the SGSN/GGSN protocols have been reused in the EPC (and so the products are remarkably similar).

It doesn't cover CDMA evolution to LTE in much depth - there are no examples of interworking/session handoff between these two. There is no mention of VCC (Voice Call Continuity) which caters for handover of a voice call between LTE and UMTS. IMS itself is rightly positioned as the topic of a separate book. Lastly, this really is a technical book - don't expect it to commercially justify or provide the business case for adoption of LTE and EPC (although many network operators have already declared their intention to do so).

The style is good and easily followed. Recommended for its purpose to learn about the technical operation of both LTE and EPC.
