IP for 3G: Networking Technologies for Mobile Communications

By Dave Wisely, Philip Eardley, Louise Burness, et al.

Der Schwerpunkt dieses ausgesprochen praxisnahen Buches liegt auf der Implementation von IP in drahtlosen Netzwerken und Mobilkommunikationssystemen. Der Autor, ein anerkannter Experte auf dem Gebiet der IP-Technologie in mobilen Netzen, behandelt Designprinzipien drahtloser Netzwerke, Mobilitätsmanagement, QoS und Call/Session-Steuerung. Auch aktuellste Themen wie iMode, Streaming Media und MPLS kommen zur Sprache. Abschlie end wird ein Ausblick auf die Entwicklung der 4. Generation gegeben.

Unique Reference

It is a very well organized textbook. Authors first explain reasons (economic and technical) for IP-3G convergence. Major conceptual differences between IP and mobile communications, on standardization processes, network approaches, connectivity, design approaches are compared in order to highlight difficulties for such a converged solution. Then three major issues are examined in details: session management & SIP protocol, QoS and Mobility Management (macro and micro). Last, authors discuss what is next: All-IP 3G and beyond.This is an excellent book about the subject, for its coverage, simplicity and appropriate references and 'further readings' lists given at the end of each chapter.

A Must for 3G and UMTS readers.

Primary focus of this book is protocols for 3G/UMTS networks. This book covers 3G concepts in some detail but pays attention mostly on network side and protocols. Which makes this book a must to have together with Kaaranen's and/or Korhonen's book. Contents is light in maths and easy to read. Very good diagrams and plain English. A concise and easy to access content makes this book very useful. Read at once and get the idea how it works. Warmly recommended.
