GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) is currently used in more than 100 countries for
mobile telephony and its application is steadily increasing in a variety of different areas.
Comprehensively revised and updated, this second edition of a highly successful text
incorporates the latest advances in the field. New features include:
- Completely revised and expanded chapter "GSM - What next?"
- New chapter on General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
- Expanded section on UMTS
- Updated chapters on Logical Channels and Channel Coding
Taking an instructive approach to the topic, the authors focus on the fundamentals of mobile
radio systems, covering the standards and protocols extensively, and provide an excellent
introduction to this rapidly evolving topic, from GSM radio transmission through to
international roaming to mobile data services and network management.
Offering broad coverage of this leading edge topic, this text would prove to be a valuable
reference resource for telecommunications engineers, researchers and developers; senior
undergraduates and postgraduate students of telecommunications.
