Personal Communications Systems (PCS) Applications (Feher/Prentice Hall Digital and Wireless Communications)

Sinopsis

25587-7 The only complete guide to designing state-of-the-art PCS applications. PCS represents a revolution in communications. It will support extraordinary new applications--but engineers must learn entirely new techniques to take full advantage of it. Personal Communications Systems Applications is the first comprehensive engineer's guide to PCS technology and applications. It presents essential, up-to-date research on a broad range of fundamental PCS design and implementation issues for both licensed and unlicensed PCS frequencies, including: * Design techniques that most effectively respond to PCS' inherent characteristics * Spectral efficiency issues and how to manage them in both TDMA and CDMA systems * Microcell design issues--with especially detailed coverage of handoff problems * Speech encoding, antenna and power issues, and more The book also provides detailed case studies of a wide variety of new PCS-related applications, including wireless LANs, adaptive mobile networks, PCS in maritime environments, mobile systems based on Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, and much more. Learn how UPS is using hand-held PCS devices to register customers's signatures and transmit data back to a central computer virtually instantaneously. See how Wal-Mart is using PCS to streamline inventory and restocking. Through case studies like these, you'll develop an in-depth understanding of both the business and technical issues surrounding leading-edge PCS implementations. If you're involved in PCS application design and development--or if you plan to be--Personal Communications Systems Applications will be your most essential sourcebook
