Wireless personal communications is clearly a different  service than today's cellular radio or cordless telephone, but there  is an evolutionary connection between the three services. This book  addresses questions about what features of personal communication  services (PCS) will be met by existing or enhanced digital cellular  radio technology. The regulatory and standards aspects of wireless  communications are currently in a crucial stage of their formulation.  A section of the book is devoted to the opinions of representatives  from regulatory agencies and standards organizations on the future of  this critical area. \u003cbr\u003e  One of the most intriguing questions about the future of wireless  communications has to do with the choice of multiple access technique.  The trade offs between time division multiple access (TDMA) and code  division multiple access (CDMA) have been the topic of many a heated  discussion amongst members of the wireless community. This book  presents a thorough discussion of a number of the topics which are  instrumental in making a fair comparison of TDMA and CDMA; these  topics include: analytical performance evaluation techniques, capacity  studies, equalization requirements, and shared spectrum comparisons.  \u003cbr\u003e  Many of the technologies associated with wireless personal  communications are reaching the design stages. This book presents a  number of alternatives for designs of both base stations and user  terminals. Some of the key questions of equalization, control channel  requirements, multi-path diversity and channel allocation strategies  have been addressed. Invariably, system designs and performance are  tied to the characteristics of the radio channel. This book introduces  several novel techniques for predicting propagation and system  performance in a variety of indoor and outdoor environments. These  techniques include analytical as well as computer simulation  algorithms for predicting signal strenghts and other channel  parameters based on the local topographical features. \u003cbr\u003e  This book serves as an excellent reference source and may be used as a  text for advanced courses on wireless communications, cellular radio,  or digital mobile radio. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1992-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792392804\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-3162-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 320\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578423795852,"sku":"9780792392804","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792392804.jpg?v=1771511148","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792392804","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
