GSM Switching, Services and Protocols Second Edition

Аннотация

This book arose from an effort to explain and illustrate the essential technical principles of GSM in spite of this complexity, and to show the interrelations between the different subfunctions in a better way than is possible in the framework of standards. Points of crystallization were provided by our course “Communication Networks 2” at the Munich University of Technology as well as our GSM lab course, which requires the students to prepare by studying an extensive GSM manuscript. This lab course is also part of the English graduate program in “communications engineering” at our university which is leading to an MSc degree. The foundation of this book is, however, in the ETS! standards themselves (besides some scientific publications), which were, on one hand, "boiled down” in this book and, on the other hand, augmented by explanations and interpretations.
