This ground-breaking resource offers you a detailed treatment of EDGE and its critical role in the development of the mobile Internet. The book explains how this global radio based high-speed mobile data standard can be introduced into GSM/GPRS networks, improving data transmission speeds to support multimedia services. It enables you to become thoroughly knowledgeable of EDGE specifications and covers concepts pertaining to several domains, including RF, signal processing, digital communications and communication networks.
The book opens with a review of GPRS principles and architecture, and then thoroughly explores the general principles, services and applications of EDGE as it relates to GPRS. It provides you with detailed coverage of a wide range of topics, including the RF physical, physical link, and RLC/MAC layers. The book also presents and analyzes WAP, and includes a guide to its related technologies such as wml, xml, mms, and wta. Case studies throughout present simple approaches to implementation problems, along with proposed resolutions.
