Synopsis

Mobile communication is one of the most important applications in the tele-communications and IT field. Developments in technology are enabling the design of advanced mobile radio networks linking information processing and data routing, with the radio segment sandwiched between layers of digital signal processors. Spread spectrum technology adapts radio communication to computational data information processing networks.

This book presents the concepts of modern mobile communication and discusses the user requirements and operational environment which influence mobile systems design. Its focus is on the mobility issues for a decentralised network topology and the effects of spread spectrum modulation on radios used in packet-switched networks. Connecting radio terminals using packet switching gives a highly flexible and efficient solution for mobile users, and the book gives considerable space to discussing packet switching in radio networks, protocols and routing strategies. Providing vital information for all those in the mobile systems field, the book is supported by detailed case study information to illustrate the practical issues involved in implementing the technology.

About this title

About the Author:

Olav Berg graduated from Texas A&M University in 1988 and the Norwegian Army School of Signals in 1989. He then worked as project manager at FFI (the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment) on the military packet-switched spread spectrum VHF radio system, the multirole radio (MRR). He is currently with Teleplan AS as a Special Advisor in military mobile communication and information technology stimulated engineering.

Review:

'To conclude, the book is well worth reading. It serves as a broad introduction, and will appeal to the reader who wants technical content without too many theoretical details. It would serve well as an overview for professional engineers and new postgraduate students in telecommunications. The authors share generously of their knowledge gained from many years of experience in implementing packet radio, especially in military applications where interference and security are emphasized.'
