Book excerpt: GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) provides a service to more than 500 million users throughout 168 countries worldwide. It is the world market leader serving 69 % of all mobile digital users and is currently evolving into UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System). By describing the critical decisions and the phases of the development this key text explains how the GSM initiative became a success in Europe and how it evolved to the global mobile communication system. Initially the strategy and technical specifications were agreed for Europe and the subsequent evolution to a global solution was achieved by incorporating all non-European requirements and by inviting all committed parties worldwide to participate. The process started in 1982 and the first GSM networks went into commercial service in 1992. The first UMTS networks are expected in 2002 and the fourth generation discussions have begun. * Presents a complete technical history of the development of GSM and the early evolution to UMTS * Clarifies the creation of the initial GSM second generation system in CEPT GSM, the evolution to a generation 2.5 system in ETSI SMG and the evolution to the Third Generation (UMTS) in ETSI SMG and 3GPP * Covers all of the services and system features together with the working methods and organisational aspects GSM and UMTS provides an interesting and informative read and will appeal to everyone involved in the mobile communications market needing to know how GSM and UMTS technologies evolved. The accompanying CD-ROM provides nearly 500 reference documents including reports of all standardisation plenary meetings, strategy documents, key decisions, the GSM Memorandum of Understanding and the report of the UMTS Task Force.

Download or read book Introduction to EVDO written by Lawrence Harte and published by Althos. This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to EVDO explains the fundamentals of the EVDO system, the products it uses, how it operates, what services it can offer, and how EVDO fits and compares with other mobile radio technologies. This book explains how the 1x Evolution (1XEV) data only (EVDO) system modifies (optimizes) the 1.25 MHz IS-95 radio channel structure to provide high-speed data services (up to 2.4 Mbps) to wireless customers. The EVDO system allows cellular service providers carriers to use one of more IS-95 CDMA radio channels (with changes) to provide broadband high-speed data services to their customers. The EVDO is an "always-on" system that allows users to browse the Internet without complicated dialup connections. You will learn that the key types of EVDO devices include external radio modems, wireless PCMCIA cards, embedded radio modules, and mobile telephones. External radio modems allow the customer to simply plug in their EVDO device to their USB or Ethernet data port to their desktop or laptop computer. EVDO PCMCIA cards can be added to most laptop computers or embedded radio modules allow devices such as PDAs and Laptops to integrate high-speed wireless without adding PCMCIA cards. Some CDMA mobile telephones include both IS-95 CDMA (voice and low speed data) and EVDO (high-speed packet data) capability. Because the needs of voice and data communication are different, the airlink design of the IS-95 and EVDO radio channel structures are different. 1xEV devices can have single mode (only EVDO) or dual mode (both IS-95 voice and EVDO data) capability. You will discover how single mode devices can only access the high-speed data rate (HDR) services on the EVDO radio channel and dual modedevices can access either the EVDO HDR channel or the IS-95 voice and medium-rate data traffic channels. This book provides the basic technical components and operation of EVDO technology. You will learn the physical radio channel structures of the 1xEV system along with the basic frame and slot structures. Described are the logical channels and their functions. Explained are the key EVDO network components and how they communicate with each other. Explained is the fundamental capabilities and operation of the EVDO radio channel including asymmetric data rates, adaptive modulation (QPSK, 8-PSK, or 16-QAM), and the use of a single control channel with multiple capabilities. You will discover how a scheduling algorithm can be used to fairly allocate the necessary data rates for EVDO users is provided. Described are the 64 coded channels and how up to 60 of them are available to provide data services to active users and how many other users (possibly 600 per channel) can be added who have a 10% usage activity factor. To make the EVDO data channels transparent with the IS-95 CDMA voice channels, handoffs can occur between IS-95 CDMA radio channels and EVDO radio channels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mobile and wireless communications applications have a clear impact on improving the humanity wellbeing. From cell phones to wireless internet to home and office devices, most of the applications are converted from wired into wireless communication. Smart and advanced wireless communication environments represent the future technology and evolutionary development step in homes, hospitals, industrial, vehicular and transportation systems. A very appealing research area in these environments has been the wireless ad hoc, sensor and mesh networks. These networks rely on ultra low powered processing nodes that sense surrounding environment temperature, pressure, humidity, motion or chemical hazards, etc. Moreover, the radio frequency (RF) transceiver nodes of such networks require the design of transmitter and receiver equipped with high performance building blocks including antennas, power and low noise amplifiers, mixers and voltage controlled oscillators. Nowadays, the researchers are facing several challenges to design such building blocks while complying with ultra low power consumption, small area and high performance constraints. CMOS technology represents an excellent candidate to facilitate the integration of the whole transceiver on a single chip. However, several challenges have to be tackled while designing and using nanoscale CMOS technologies and require innovative idea from researchers and circuits designers. While major researchers and applications have been focusing on RF wireless communication, optical wireless communication based system has started to draw some attention from researchers for a terrestrial system as well as for aerial and satellite terminals. This renewed interested in optical wireless communications is driven by several advantages such as no licensing requirements policy, no RF radiation hazards, and no need to dig up roads besides its large bandwidth and low power consumption. This second part of the book, Mobile and Wireless Communications: Key Technologies and Future Applications, covers the recent development in ad hoc and sensor networks, the implementation of state of the art of wireless transceivers building blocks and recent development on optical wireless communication systems. We hope that this book will be useful for students, researchers and practitioners in their research studies.
