From GSM to LTE-Advanced: An Introduction to Mobile Networks and Mobile Broadband, 2/e (Hardcover)

This revised edition of Communication Systems from GSM to LTE: An Introduction to Mobile Networks
and Mobile Broadband Second Edition (Wiley 2010) contains not only a technical description of the
different wireless systems available today, but also explains the rationale behind the different mechanisms and implementations; not only the ‘how’ but also the ‘why’. In this way, the advantages and also limitations of each technology become apparent.

Offering a solid introduction to major global wireless standards and comparisons of the different wireless
technologies and their applications, this edition has been updated to provide the latest directions and
activities in 3GPP standardization up to Release 12, and importantly includes a new chapter on Voice
over LTE (VoLTE). There are new sections on Building Blocks of a Voice Centric Device, Building Blocks of a Smart Phone, Fast Dormancy, IMS and High-Speed Downlink Packet Access, and Wi-Fi-Protected Setup.

Other sections have been considerably updated in places reflecting the current state of the technology.

• Describes the different systems based on the standards, their practical implementation and design assumptions, and the performance and capacity of each system in practice is analyzed and explained

• Questions at the end of each chapter and answers on the accompanying website make this book ideal for self-study or as course material

這本修訂版的《從GSM到LTE的通訊系統：移動網絡介紹及移動寬頻第二版》（Wiley 2010）不僅包含了當今可用的不同無線系統的技術描述，還解釋了不同機制和實現背後的原理；不僅是「如何」，還有「為什麼」。這樣一來，每種技術的優點和限制都變得明顯起來。

本書提供了對主要全球無線標準的扎實介紹，並比較了不同無線技術及其應用。本版已更新至3GPP標準化的最新方向和活動，包括一個關於Voice over LTE（VoLTE）的新章節。還新增了關於以語音為中心設備的構建模塊、智能手機的構建模塊、快速休眠、IMS和高速下行封包訪問以及Wi-Fi保護設置的新節。

其他部分也在一些地方進行了相當大的更新，以反映技術的當前狀態。

• 根據標準描述了不同的系統，分析和解釋了每個系統在實踐中的性能和容量，並介紹了其實際實施和設計假設
• 每章末尾都有問題，附帶網站上的答案，使本書成為自學或課程教材的理想選擇
