Alex Fares GSM Base Station Subsystem Engineering

Back Cover

GSM radio access network system is a comprehensive innovative and successful endeavor of the 20th century, which will continue taking a major share of global cellular market in the 21st Century. This book covers GSM Evolution, GSM Network Architecture, Radio Interface and Resources, Transmission and Subscriber Data security, Radio Access Signalling, Data Transmission, Network Operations, GPRS overview and Case Studies.

In order to operate cost effective and high quality GSM radio access networks the well-known theoretical details have to be bound with practical radio planning parameters for excellent achievements. At the same time the long-term network operations possible environmental changes of the radio propogation have to be well understood as a basis for better achievement. This book deals with topics which will help the Technician, Engineer, Consultant or Manager understand GSM radio access networks much better at BSS level.

Although the book is designed to cover GSM at specialist level, the non-specialists will find this book extremely helpful as a resourceful text of GSM-Base Station Subsystem Engineering. To the specialist, the book will help to enhance his or her knowledge of the complex GSM - BSS Engineering. They will find this book to be on its own class in terms of consistency, illustration and description of GSM-BSS Engineering.

GSM Base Station Subsystem Engineering ...

Global System for Mobile (GSM) has captured a large share of the global cellular market. This book explains, technologies used, Operation of GSM systems and GSM cellular technical specification. It describes the Base Station Subsystem Engineering aspects of GSM as a whole, covering GSM evolution,GSM network architecture, Radio Interface and resources, Um radio interface and signal processing, The Abis, Data Transmission and securities, Radio Cellular Engineering fundamentals, Network Operations, GPRS overview and Operations Case Studies. Explained are the physical and logical radio channel structures of the GSM system along with the basic frame and slot structures. Described are the fundamental capabilities and operation of the GSM radio channel including channel coding, speech coding, RF power control, Handover types and algorithms and signaling at BSS. You will discover that the GSM system essentially separates circuit switched (primarily voice) and packet switched (primarily data) services. Described are key functional sections of a GSM network and how they communicate with each other. You will learn how and why GSM is evolving into 3rd generation broadband systems including GPRS, EDGE, and UMTS.
