Written by one of the most respected members of the telecommunication community, this book covers the dramatic changes of the past two decades in the field of telecommunications and the rapidly evolving network technologies of the future. Both packet switching, used to improve data communications, and circuit switching, used in telephone networks, are covered in detail from qualitative discussion to performance analysis. A final chapter devoted to combined aspects of both technologies and to future integrated communication networks rounds out the book. This book will prove to be invaluable for telecommunication engineers, managers, network planners, system analysts, designers, programmers, and other technical personnel interested in current and future aspects of telecommunications. 020116423XB04062001

Quantitative approaches to design are included in this text. Existing networks to which they can be applied include airline reservation and banking networks, private corporation networks, networks interconnecting data terminals and computers, commercial time-sharing networks, and many others. The prime areas considered are statistical multiplexing and buffering at communication concentrators, as well as topics in overall network design. Following a description of four operating networks, the book discusses capacity assignment in networks, buffer design, topological design of networks, routing and flow control, polling and random access techniques, and line control procedures. Design examples, design tables, and curves are included throughout the book, and, where possible, different analysis and design approaches are compared. The reader need only have some prior knowledge of elementary probability theory to understand and follow the material presented in this text. An appendix summarizes terminology and concepts of point-to-point data communications for those with no prior knowledge.

A wide range of real-world examples illustrates the theoretical aspects of this tutorial introduction to digital mobile wireless networks. In particular, 2.5G and 3G packet-switched systems are discussed in detail, as are wireless LANs and personal-area networks. Many worked examples and homework exercises are provided, and a solutions manual is available for instructors. The book is an ideal text for electrical engineering and computer science students taking courses in wireless communications. It will also be an invaluable reference for practicing engineers.

Growth in broadband integrated network technologies like ATM, ISDN, and frame relay has been phenomenal in recent years. This book focuses on the quantitative methods, such as modeling and performance analysis in the high-speed ATM networking environment, as opposed to qualitative overviews. Covers the types of services provided over ATM networks, the ATM protocol model, Broadband ISDN and ATM, traffic characterization, access control in broadband networks, ATM switches, effective capacity, and feedback congestion control. For communication specialists, especially those working in the telecommunications industry.
