This book addresses two aspects of network operation quality; namely, resource
management and fault management.
Network operation quality is among the functions to be fulfilled in order to offer
quality of service, QoS, to the end user. It is characterized by four parameters:
– packet loss;
– dela ...
Microwave radio network design is a subset of activities that constitute
the overall transmission network design. Transmission networks are
sometimes called transport networks, access networks, or connectivity
networks. For many wireless carriers, microwave is becoming a popu-
lar preference over wi ...
When we started thinking about writing the first edition of this book a few years ago, we had been
working together for more than five years on the borderline between propagation and signal processing.
Therefore, it is not surprising that this book deals with propagation models and design tools for ...

With the rapid growth of the wireless mobile applications, wireless voice has
begun to challenge wireline voice, whereas the desire to access e-mail, surf the
Web or download music (e.g., MP3) wirelessly is increasing for wireless data.
While second generation (2G) cellular wireless systems, such as ...
By definition, the term “mobile-radio communications” describes any
radio communication link between two terminals of which one or both
are in motion or halted at unspecified locations and of which one may
actually be a fixed terminal such as a base station. This definition
applies to both mobile- ...
This book is a result of the recent rapid advances in two related technologies: com-
munications and computers. Over the past few decades, communication systems
have increased in complexity to the point where system design and performance
analysis can no longer be conducted without a significant lev ...
Digital mobile wireless communication and the Internet have undergone a
fantastic growth in the last few years and, despite originating from two different
worlds, they are converging. This convergence corresponds to the evolution of
mobile systems towards the highest broadband data transmissions (GS ...
Convergence between the two largest networks (Telecom and IP) is taking place
very rapidly and at diff erent levels: (1) network level: unifi cation of IP networks
with traditional Telecom networks through evolving standards (Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP), Realtime Transfer Protocol (RTP), SS7, ...
Some tine ago it become apparent the the first edition of this book was rapidly approaching its sell-by date,since many aspects needed revise.There were two obvious courses of action : to forget the whole thing and concentrate my energies on other pursuits such as golf or fishing, or to embark on a ...
