Wireless Network Evolution

• Network architectures, planning, management, and optimization
• 3G air interfaces: UTRA/W-CDMA and cdma2000
• 3G data services: UTRA/W-CDMA, cdma2000, GPRS, and EDGE
• Evolutionary paths for 2G networks
• WLL, WAP, and more

New 3G systems will trigger an explosion in wireless Internet and data applications by delivering far higher data rates than have ever been possible in wireless systems before. In Wireless Network Evolution: 2G to 3G, renowned wireless expert Vijay K. Garg covers key 3G standard and every technical issue associated with planning, management, and optimization of 3G systems. Garg reviews the fundamental principles underlying existing 2G systems, then offers specific, practical guidance on migration to 3G. Coverage includes:

• 3G standards activities
• 3G European and North American systems
• 3G data services for UTRA/W-CDMA, cdma2000, GPRS, and EDGE networks
• Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) and 3G systems
• Major 3G enhancements for WLL applications
• New RF optimization techniques for 3G systems

Wireless Network Evolution: 2G to 3G will be an invaluable resource for every practicing telecommunications engineer and technical decision maker involved in 3G planning, deployment, or management.
