Publisher's Synopsis
This text is written specifically for non-technical personnel who work with engineers, but aren't familiar with the engineering concepts and technical aspects of cellular radio and telecommunications systems.;Using layman's language, with no mathematics, this text should help the reader understand the "hows and whys" behind cellular network design, and enables the reader to: recognize the basic similarities between cellular and WLL systems, and understand their overall design functions; learn how cellular radio systems successfully locate and send calls to subscribers; grasp the underlying techniques used to transfer radio signals from a transmitter to a receiver; look ahead to future cellular and WLL systems, based on industry trends such as convergence, the information society, mobile/fixed integration, and more; and identify and compare several key radio systems in use today, including fast-moving satellite personal communications systems and GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications).
