De la contraportada

Now fully revised and updated throughout, GSM, GPRS and EDGE Performance continues to provide a complete overview of the entire GSM system. It presents comprehensive descriptions of GSM’s main evolutionary milestones – GPRS, AMR and EDGE and explains how such developments have positioned GERAN (GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network) as a full 3G radio standard. For the first time in one volume, the radio network performance and capabilities of GSM, GPRS, AMR and EDGE solutions are studied in-depth by using revealing simulations and field trials. This volume explains how cellular operators can roll out new 3G technologies capable of delivering wireless Internet based multimedia services in a competitive and cost-effective way.

Divided into three parts:

1. Provides an introduction to the complete evolution of GSM towards a radio access network that efficiently supports UMTS services (GERAN).
2. Features a comprehensive study of system performance with simulations a nd field trials.
3. Discusses different 3G radio technologies and the position of GERAN within such technologies.

Written by leading experts in the field, this performance-oriented and practical approach to the GSM system and its evolution will have far-reaching appeal to Engineering Professionals and Research & Development Engineers. It will also be an instant hit with Technical staff and Management working for cellular operators.

Key updates of the Second Edition:

• Includes GERAN Rel'5 and Rel'6 functionality, including Single Antenna Interference Cancellation (SAIC)
• Expands the QoS chapter to cover end to end system aspects
• Presents field trial results for GPRS, AMR, SAIC and EDGE
• Provides EGPRS deployment guidelines in various deployment scenarios
• Features a new chapter on “Service Performance"
