tailieunhanh - GSM, cdmaOne and 3G Systems P1

This book is concerned with two digital mobile radio systems: the global system for mobile communications (GSM); and a code division multiple access (CDMA) system that was originally known as the American interim standard 95, or IS-95 and is now called cdmaOne [1–7]. While GSM was conceived and developed through the concerted efforts of regulators, operators and equipment manufacturers in Europe, cdmaOne owes its existence to one dynamic Californian company, Qualcomm Inc. The authors have been involved with both the pan-European mobile radio system, which became GSM, and the Qualcomm CDMA system for a number of years. The GSM system. | GSM cdmaOne and 3G Systems.

While GSM was conceived and developed through the concerted efforts of regulators operators and equipment manufacturers in Europe cdmaOne owes its existence to one dynamic Californian company Qualcomm Inc. The authors have been involved with both the pan-European mobile radio system which became GSM and the Qualcomm CDMA system for a number of years. The GSM system predates cdmaOne. The two systems are very different. The radio interface of GSM relies on time division multiple access TDMA which means that its radio link is very different to that of cd-maOne. Also GSM is a complete network specification from the subscriber unit through to the network gateway. Indeed its fixed network component is perhaps its most advanced feature 1 2 . cdmaOne by contrast has a more complex and advanced radio interface and only later were fixed network issues addressed 3 7 . In the chapters to follow the GSM and cdmaOne systems will be described and analysed while the final chapter deals with their evolution to third generation systems. This chapter is meant to provide background information on cellular radio 1-11 . The reader who is well acquainted with the fundamentals of mobile radio communications should therefore bypass this chapter. For the reader who has elected to read this chapter we should state at the outset that our goal is to provide a clear exposition of the concepts of the subject rather than detailed analyses which will follow in the later chapters. The first point to make is that a mobile radio network has a .
