This book gives a comprehensive overview of the technologies for the advances of
mobile radio access networks. The topics covered include linear transmitters,
superconducting filters and cryogenic radio frequency (RF) front head, radio over
fiber, software radio base stations, mobile terminal positi ...
A series of features makes the mobile telecommunications industry an
interesting field of investigation for economists: the industry is experi-
encing veryfastmarketgrowthcombinedwithrapidtechnological change;
regulatory design in setting market structure is playing a very important
role; and oligop ...
The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) allows an end user to send and
receive data in packet transfer mode within a public land mobile network
(PLMN) without using a permanent connection between the mobile station
(MS) and the external network during data transfer. This way, GPRS opti-
mizes the us ...
Providing QoS while optimizing the LTE network in a cost efficient manner is
very challenging. Thus, radio scheduling is one of the most important functions
in mobile broadband networks. The design of a mobile network radio scheduler
holds several objectives that need to be satisfied, for example: t ...
This book is the outcome of the panel discussions held on the special event honor-
ing first 50 PhD students of Prof. Ramjee Prasad. Several of his PhD students are
today worldwide telecommunication leaders themselves. Over 60 post-docs, PhDs,
colleagues and the scientific staff were present at the ...
Throughout the course of my work in multihop mobile ad hoc networks (MANET)
over the last several years, I reached the conclusion that mobility models and perfor-
mance metrics need to be treated in detail in designing these networks that are the
ultimatefrontierinwirelesscommunications. Awidevariet ...
The third generation (3G) mobile communication system is the next big thing
in the world of mobile telecommunications. The first generation included
analog mobile phones [e.g., Total Access Communications Systems
(TACS), Nordic Mobile Telephone (NMT), and Advanced Mobile Phone
Service (AMPS)], and t ...
Mobile telephone service (MTS) is a type of service where mobile radio tele-
phones connect people to the public switched telephone system (PSTN), to
other mobile telephones or to other communication systems (such as to the
Internet).
There are few technologies that have had a more profound effect on people’s lives
than mobile communications. As recently as twenty years ago no one had a mobile
phone, while today 1.4 billion men, women and children depend on them. This now
exceeds the number of landline users, where it took the p ...
This books presents the research work of COST 273 Towards Mobile Broadband Multimedia
Networks, hence, it reports on the work performed and on the results achieved within the project
by its participants. The material presented here corresponds to the results obtained in four years
of collaborative w ...
