From the Back Cover:

Rely on the only guide dedicated entirely to the IS-41 protocol! MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKING WITH IS-41 IS-41-the North American standard for wireless telecommunications network signaling-remains perplexing to engineers and technical managers because of its complexity. Now two contributors to the IS-41 standard explain the latest revisions, operational details, and protocol usage of the standard in easy-to-understand terms. They fully annotate the protocol usage of the standard in easy-to-understand key components, including its messages, parameters, and procedures. Discussion of how the IS-41 protocol provides mobile functions accompanies graphic illustrations of common network signaling situations that expedite network implementation. You'll also gain a complete grasp of how IS-41 relates to other functions in the network. Turn here to maximize your practical knowledge of: IS-41's support for analog and digital interfaces; How mobile networks complete calls through the PSTN; Interoperations between IS-41 and other networks; Basic automatic roaming functions and intersystem handoff functions; IS-41's support of AMPS, NAMPS, TDMA, and CDMA radio technologies. Complete with numerous specific examples of how the protocol is used and coverage of IS-41-C-the latest revision of the standard-this guide gives you all the tools you need for IS-41 success.
