Multiple Access Protocols For Mobile Communications Gprs, Umts And Beyond

The authors of this book explain the requirements for multiple access protocols for mobile communications in an easy-to-understand style. They begin by introducing 2nd and 3rd generation cellular communication systems. MA protocols for packet-oriented cellular systems are then described in detail. A large part of the results presented come from the authors' own research work, including improving the protocols and modeling the physical OSI layer.
