New 3G systems will trigger an explosion in wireless Internet and data applications by delivering far higher data rates than have ever been possible in wireless systems before. In Wireless Network Evolution -- 2G to 3G, renowned wireless expert Vijay Garg covers every key 3G standard, and every technical issue associated with planning, management and optimization of 3G systems.KEY TOPICS:Garg reviews the fundamental principles underlying existing 2G systems, then offers specific, practical guidance on migration to 3G. He introduces 3G standards activities, covers all European and North American 3G systems, and presents key 3G data services for UTRA/W-CDMA, cdma2000, GPRS, and EDGE networks. Garg reviews the role of the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) in 3G environments, covers important 3G enhancements for Wireless Local Loop (WLL) applications, and introduces important new RF optimization techniques for 3G systems.MARKET:For every practicing telecommunications engineer and technical decision-maker involved in 3G planning, deployment, or management.
