Overview
Breaking down complex technology into easy-to-understand concepts, this hands-on, system-level resource offers you expert guidance in designing, optimizing, and operating a CDMA2000 wireless network. The book focuses on the development and understanding of practical engineering knowledge that can be readily and immediately applied to your work in the field, but also provides you with the theory you need to understand to effectively engineer 3G spread-spectrum digital networks.
Synopsis
Yang (California State University) explains complex technology in terms of its basic concepts and offers advice on the design, optimization, and management of a CDMA2000 wireless network. This book covers the theoretical foundations of the system, its key requirements and features, power control and hand-off functionalities, system performance and design, and network architecture. It also includes a detailed presentation of 1xEV-DO, explaining the differences between 1xEV-DO and CDMA2000 and the ways they work in tandem. Annotation © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Editorials
From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewThis addition to Artech House Publishers' mobile communication series is a powerhouse of information on the comprehensive technologies involved in a code-division multiple access (CDMA) 2000 wireless network. 3G CDMA2000 Wireless System Engineering by Samuel C. Yang delivers a fresh look at wireless communications that promises to bring professionals and students alike up-to-date on the latest and greatest in standards and wireless data applications.
Yang begins by introducing you to the basic concepts and requirements of 3G and highlights key differences between Interim Standard 2000 (IS-2000) and Interim Standard 95 (IS-95). Next, he describes the physical layers of forward and reverse links, respectively. Then, the author covers medium access control and focuses on radio link protocol, signaling radio burst protocol, and system access. Next, Yang goes into link access control. Then, he goes over Layer 3 or upper layer signaling of IS-2000s. Since IS-2000 contains power control and handoff functions that are superior to those in IS-95-A, Yang then describes in detail power control and handoff functionalities, respectively. He then proceeds to cover system performance and describes those features adopted by IS-2000 to increase performance, such as code management, turbo codes, and transmit diversity. Since a CDMA system essentially trades off coverage versus capacity, these design aspects are covered next. Then, he describes the IS-2000 architecture from a network perspective and shows how a 3G network differs and evolves from a 2G network. Next, Yang focuses on the top five layers (application, stream, session, connection, and security) of 1xEvolution-Data Only (1xEV-DO). Finally, the author covers medium access control and physical layers of forward and reverse links, respectively.
With so many changes in wireless technology and standards over recent years, Yang's new book is a gem of a resource. Professionals in the field (wireless designers, developers, and managers of CDMA2000 wireless networks) will want this outstanding book within easy reach. John R. Vacca
