Multicast in Third-Generation Mobile Networks: Services, Mechanisms and Performance (Hardcover)

In this book, the authors describe how to perform multicast, the one-to-many delivery of data to a group of destinations, in third-generation mobile networks.

The authors provide an overview of the services that can be realized with multicast in third-generation networks, describe the mechanisms required to support these services and highlight the performance of several multicast mechanisms. The focus of this book is on multicast in UMTS and CDMA2000 networks, the dominant third-generation network standards. In addition to describing the standards for multicast, the authors also provide extensive performance results of multicast in third-generation networks.

Key Features:

•Provides an in-depth review of the fundamentals of multicast

•Describes in detail the MBMS and BCMCS standards for multicast in UMTS and CDMA2000 networks, respectively

•Provides a comprehensive overview of the services that can be realized with multicast in third-generation networks

•Highlights the performance of multicast in third-generation networks

•Investigates how multicast can be achieved in heterogeneous networks consisting of cellular and broadcast networks

This book is an invaluable resource for professional engineers and researchers working in the area of third-generation networks. Postgraduate and graduate students on networking and communications courses will also find this book an insightful and valuable reference.

第三代網路中多點傳送的實用教學！

本書作者描述了如何在第三代行動網路中進行多點傳送，即將資料一對多地傳送到一組目的地。作者概述了在第三代網路中可以實現的多點傳送服務，描述了支援這些服務所需的機制，並突出了幾種多點傳送機制的性能。本書的重點是UMTS和CDMA2000網路中的多點傳送，這是主要的第三代網路標準。除了描述多點傳送的標準外，作者還提供了第三代網路中多點傳送的廣泛性能結果。

主要特點：
- 深入回顧多點傳送的基礎知識
- 詳細描述UMTS和CDMA2000網路中多點傳送的MBMS和BCMCS標準
- 全面概述第三代網路中可以實現的多點傳送服務
- 強調第三代網路中多點傳送的性能
- 探討如何在由蜂窩網路和廣播網路組成的異質網路中實現多點傳送

本書對於從事第三代網路領域的專業工程師和研究人員來說是一個寶貴的資源。網路和通訊課程的研究生和研究生學生也會發現本書是一本富有洞察力和價值的參考資料。
