Next Generation Mobile Communications Ecosystem (eBook)

Taking an in-depth look at the mobile communications ecosystem,
this book covers the two key components, i.e., Network and End-User
Devices, in detail. Within the network, the sub components of radio
access network, transmission network, core networks, services and
OSS are discussed; component level discussion also features antenna
diversity and interference cancellation techniques for smart
wireless devices.



The role of various standard development organizations and
industry forums is highlighted throughout. The ecosystem is
strengthened with the addition of the Technology Management (TM)
component dealing mostly with the non-technical aspects of the
underlying mobile communications industry. Various aspects of TM
including technology development, innovation management, knowledge
management and more are also presented.

* Focuses on OFDM-based radio technologies such as LTE &
WiMAX as well as MBWA (Mobile Broadband Wireless Access)

* Provides a vital addition to the momentum of EVDO and its
migration towards LTE

* Emphasis on radio, core, operation, architectural and
performance aspects of two next generation technologies - EPS and
WiMAX

* Includes discussion of backhaul technologies and alternatives
as well as issues faced by operators switching to 3G and Next
Generation Mobile Networks

* Cutting-edge research on emerging Gigabit Ethernet Microwave
Radios and Carrier Ethernet transport technologies

Next Generation Mobile Communications Ecosystem serves as
a practical reference for telecom associated academia and industry
to understanding mobile communications in a holistic manner, as
well as assisting in preparing graduate students and fresh
graduates for the marketplace by providing them with information
not only on state-of-the-art technologies and standards but also on
TM. By effectively focusing on the key domains of TM this book will
further assist companies with improving their competitiveness in
the long run. Importantly, it will provide students, engineers,
researchers, technology managers and executives with extensive
details on various emerging mobile wireless standards and
technologies.
