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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e•Provides an in-depth review of the fundamentals of multicast\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e•Describes in detail the MBMS and BCMCS standards for multicast in UMTS and CDMA2000 networks, respectively\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e•Provides a comprehensive overview of the services that can be realized with multicast in third-generation networks\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e•Highlights the performance of multicast in third-generation networks\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e•Investigates how multicast can be achieved in heterogeneous networks consisting of cellular and broadcast networks\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is an invaluable resource for professional engineers and researchers working in the area of third-generation networks.
