Trang 14Wireless technologies such as GSM/UMTS, wireless LAN, 802.16 (WiMAX), and Bluetoothhave revolutionized the way we communicate and exchange data by making services liketelephony and Internet access available at anytime and from almost anywhere Today, a greatvariety of technical publications offer background information about these technologies butthey all fall short in one way or another Books covering these technologies usually describeonly one of the systems in detail and are generally too complex as a first introduction TheInternet is also a good source, but the articles one finds are usually too short and superficial
or only deal with a specific mechanism of one of the systems Because of this, it wasdifficult for me to recommend a single publication to students in my telecommunicationclasses, which I’ve been teaching in addition to my chosen profession as a wireless systemsconsultant This book aims to change this
All wireless technologies discussed in the book continue to evolve, with increasing mission speeds being the driving goal This book covers some of the evolutions such asHSDPA and HSUPA enhancements, which deliver increased transmission speeds in UMTSnetworks, and EDGE, which does the same thing for GPRS As WiMAX already offers hightransmission speeds for stationary users (802.16d), the evolution path of this system intro-duces mobility Therefore, the mobility extension of WiMAX (802.16e) is also discussed.Beyond speed and mobility improvements, research is being performed into how futuremulti-mode wireless devices can offer anytime, anywhere connectivity The challenge ofthis approach is determining how to offer a seamless transition from one radio technology
trans-to another for users roaming out of the coverage area of a network As this book describesthe similarities and differences between the major radio technologies, which will form thebasis of such 4G networks, it also provides a wealth of information for readers involved inthis area of research
Each of the six chapters in this book gives a detailed introduction and overview of one ofthe wireless systems mentioned above Special emphasis has also been put into explainingthe thoughts and reasoning behind the development of each system Not only the ‘how’, butalso the ‘why’ is of central importance in each chapter Furthermore, comparisons are madebetween the different technologies to show the differences and commonalities of the systems.For some applications, several technologies compete directly with each other, while in othercases only a combination of different wireless technologies creates a practical applicationfor the end user For readers who want to test their understanding of a system, each chapterconcludes with a list of questions For further investigation, all chapters contain references
to the relevant standards and other documents These provide an ideal additional source tofind out more about a specific system or topic
Trang 15xii Preface
While working on the book, I’ve tremendously benefited from the wireless technologiesthat are already available today Whether at home or while traveling, wireless LAN, Blue-tooth, UMTS, and EDGE have provided reliable connectivity for my research and haveallowed me to communicate with friends and loved ones at anytime, from anywhere In away, the book is a child of the technologies it describes
The decision to write books about wireless systems in my free time came to me quitesuddenly While browsing a Paris bookshop, I discovered a book by Pierre Lescuyer, anauthor whom I did not know at this time but was working for the same company as myself.After I got in contact with him, he explained to me, over an extended lunch, how he wentfrom an idea to his first finished book I would like to thank Pierre for his invaluable advice,which has helped me many times since then
Furthermore, my sincere thanks go to Berenice, who has stood by me during this projectwith her love, friendship, and good advice
Also, I would like to thank Prashant John, Timothy Longman, Tim Smith, Peter van denBroek, Prem Jayaraj, Kevin Wriston, and Gregg Beyer for revising the different chapters intheir free time and for their invaluable suggestions on content, style, and grammar
