GSM, cdmaOne and 3G Systems

GSM, cdmaOne and 3G Systems provides the reader with a comprehensive and unique description of the two leading second generation cellular radio systems: the global system for mobile communication (GSM) and cmdaOne. This novel approach encompasses a two-chapter format for both systems. One chapter follows a descriptive approach of a system, whilst the second chapter takes on an analytical stance. This imaginative strategy enables readers to by-pass the analysis if they so wish and concentrate on system descriptions. The focus then moves towards the forthcoming third generation (3G) cellular systems. Such a creative approach will have wide-ranging appeal to a large audience including practising engineers in the mobile radio industry, academics and the research and development community. - Includes an introductory chapter to provide the necessary background to cellular radio, in particular TDMA and CDMA - Presents GSM and cdmaOne through a detailed description of the radio interface, as well as an in-depth mathematical analysis - Discusses GSM Phase 2+ enhancements, such as GPRS and EDGE - Features a comprehensive description of UMTS - Addresses the evolution of cdmaOne to cdma2000
