Systems Engineering with SDL: Developing Performance-Critical Communication Systems

Andreas Mitschele-Thiel is a research engineer at Bell Labs, working in the Global Wireless Systems area. He is also the Associate Rapporteur at the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) responsible for performance and time aspects of the SDL standard. His work at Bell Labs, and previously at ALCATEL, means that his writing is grounded in practical experience, and his past roles as lecturer at Ohio State University and the University of Erlangen help to make this a thorough and accessible tutorial guide to creating successful communications systems.
