Informationen zum Autor Ajay R. Mishra received his M.Tech in Microwave Electronics from University of Delhi in 1997. Since then, he has been working with Nokia Networks. He has been involved not only in the research and development of network designing & optimisation for all the three generation of networks but also in the deployment of these networks globally. He has several publications to his credit. His current interests are issues related to the design and performance of third, fourth generation and mixed cellular networks. Klappentext With the complexity of the cellular networks increasing day by day, a deeper understanding of the design and performance of end-to-end cellular networks is required. Moreover, all the types of networks from 2G-2.5G-3G seem to co-exist. Fundamentals of Cellular Network Planning and Optimisation covers end-to-end network planning and optimisation aspects from second generation GSM to third generation WCDMA networks including GPRS and EDGE networks. All the sub-systems of the network i.e. radio network, transmission network and core network have been covered with focus on both on practical and theoretical issues. By bringing all these concepts under one cover, this books becomes an essential reading for the network design engineers working either with cellular service vendors or operators, experts/scientists working on end-to-end issues and undergraduate/post-graduate students. Key Highlights of the book are: Distinctly divided into four parts with each part 2G (GSM), 2.5G (GPRS & EDGE), 3G (WCDMA) and introduction 4G (OFDM, ALL-IP, WLAN Overview) respectively Each part focuses on the radio, transmission and core networks. Not only does on cellular network planning process, also explains the underlying principles behind the planning and optimising the cellular networks. Written by leading experts in the field, and endorsed with forewords from Anthony Crane, Vice President, Delivery & Maintenance Services, Nokia Networks and Klaus Goerke, Director, Operational Solutions, Nokia Networks, the text will serve as a handbook for anyone engaged in the study, design, deployment and business of cellular Networks. Zusammenfassung Fundamentals of Network Planning and Optimisation for Wireless Communications presents a detailed coverage of Network Planning and Optimisation across the technologies from 2G to 4G/future mobile communications. There is currently a crucial gap in the market for a publication of this kind. There are currently no books that cover 2G! 2. Inhaltsverzeichnis Foreword. Preface. Acknowledgements. Introduction. 1.
