In this book, the author addresses technologies that are being used
in emerging cellular markets. These include GSM/EGPRS and CDMA
which are being deployed at a rapid pace, while technologies such
as UMTS (3G)/ HSPA (3.5G) which have started to find a place in
these high growth markets, are also considered. The book examines
other technologies including LTE (3.9G) which have already moved
out of research labs into the commercial world. 2G-CDMA is widely
used, while further developments, e.g. CDMA2000 are also finding
acceptance in the commercial arena. IMS/Convergence is increasingly
popular all over the world; UMA, which is deployed mostly in North
America; and DVB which is gaining worldwide popularity, especially
in South Asia, are all reviewed.
Each chapter discusses a different technology and is structured into three parts. The technology is examined at an overview level, first explaining what the technology is and then considering the technical features of the technology. The chapter concludes by looking at the planning/implementation aspects of the technology.
