He is a founding member of Indian Telecom Standards body GISFI (Global ICT Standards Forum for India) and sits on panels of top institutes and telecom bodies. His current interests are issues related to the design and performance of cellular networks - 3G and Beyond. He has several publications to his credit, including most recently Fundamentals of Cellular Network Planning and Optimisation: 2G/2.5G/3G... Evolution to 4G and Advanced Cellular Network Planning and Optimisation: 2G/2.5G/3G...Evolution to 4G . Klappentext In this book, the author addresses technologies that are being used in emerging cellular markets. These include GSM/EGPRS and CDMA which are being deployed at a rapid pace, while technologies such as UMTS (3G)/ HSPA (3.5G) which have started to find a place in these high growth markets, are also considered. The book examines other technologies including LTE (3.9G) which have already moved out of research labs into the commercial world. 2G-CDMA is widely used, while further developments, e.g. CDMA2000 are also finding acceptance in the commercial arena. IMS/Convergence is increasingly popular all over the world; UMA, which is deployed mostly in North America; and DVB which is gaining worldwide popularity, especially in South Asia, are all reviewed.Each chapter discusses a different technology and is structured into three parts. The technology is examined at an overview level, first explaining what the technology is and then considering the technical features of the technology. The chapter concludes by looking at the planning/implementation aspects of the technology.Key Features:* Useful for all cellular industry professionals as provides an overview of the currently deployed technologies in mass scale, and the forthcoming technologies that are expected to make an impact in the future, such as 4th Generation Cellular Networks.* One of the first books on the market to encompass all the major cellular technologies, as well as considering the design and implementation perspective.Wireless Technology will play a key role in uplifting the economies of the Emerging countries globally. Ashok Chandra, Wireless Advisor to Govt. of India Zusammenfassung A comprehensive overview of the major aspects of the emerging cellular technologies, this guide is useful for all professionals working in the cellular industry, along with designer and planning engineers. It looks into technologies in use today and also technologies of the future, alongside the design and implementation perspective.
