Cdma2000 Evolution - by Kamran Etemad (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

CDMA2000 Evolution: Concepts and Design Principles provides:

• A presentation of CDMA2000 technology from the fundamental concepts, architectures and protocols to the network engineering and planning principles.
• Comprehensive and up to date information about the IS2000 1x Releases A through D, including 1xEV-DV, as well as 1xEV-DO or IS856 Revisions 0 and A standards.
• A focus on network architecture, QoS, radio network performance and dimensioning as well as comparison with other 2.5G/3G systems.
• Examples, graphics and diagrams to simplify the learning process.

Throughout the book, the emphasis is on conceptual understanding of key techniques and protocols and their evolution from simpler legacy systems to the more advanced revisions recently made to these standards.

From the Back Cover

An insightful guide to CDMA2000^(R) for implementing successful next-generation mobile and wireless networks

CDMA2000^(R) Evolution: System Concepts and Design Principles is the comprehensive resource you need to understand concepts, techniques, and protocols used in the design of a widely deployed family of next-generation mobile wireless standards: the CDMA2000^(R) standard, including the CDMA2000(R) 1x (IS2000), and the 1xEV-DO (or IS856/HRPD) systems.

All systems are examined in depth, from the physical channelization to coding, spreading, and modulation schemes. The author leads you through:

• The key enabling 3G technology concepts, such as link adaptation, Hybrid ARQ, adaptive scheduling, and diversity schemes
• The Release 0/A of the IS2000 system and the key technical enhancements made to recent releases of the standard
• The IS2000 Releases C and D, including forward and reverse high-speed packet data channel operation
• 1xEV-DO/IS856, including the new enhancements and features in EV-DO Rev. A
• MAC/LAC layer protocols and signaling procedures
• Network architecture, QoS, radio network performance, and dimensioning
• Comparisons with other 2.5G/3G systems

From simpler legacy systems to the more advanced revisions made to these standards, the emphasis is on conceptual understanding of key techniques and protocols, and their evolution. Carefully balancing theory and practical insights, CDMA2000^(R) Evolution: System Concepts and Design Principles provides engineers, technical managers, and students in telecommunications with a solid foundation of the new concepts, protocols, and methodologies used for the design of next-generation CDMA networks and systems.
