无线通信经典图书. Preface Duringthepastyears,therehasbeenaquicklyrisinginterestinradioaccess technologiesforprovidingmobileaswellasnomadicandfixedservicesforvoice, videoanddata.Thedifferenceindesign,implementation,andusebetweentelecom anddatacomtechnologiesisalsogettingmoreblurred.Oneexampleiscellular technologiesfromthetelecomworldbeingusedforbroadbanddataandwireless LANfromthedatacomworldbeingusedforvoiceoverIP. Today,themostwidespreadradioaccesstechnologyformobilecommunicationis digitalcellular,withthenumberofuserforecastedtoreach3bi llionby2007,which isalmosthalfoftheworld’spopulation.Ithasemergedfromearlydeployments ofanexpensivevoiceserviceforafewcar-borneusers,totoday’swidespread useofthirdgenerationmobile-communicationdevicesthatprovidearangeof mobileservicesandoftenincludecamera,MP3playerandPDAfunctions.With thiswidespreaduseandincreasinginterestin3G,acontinuingevolutionaheadis foreseen. Thisbookdescribestheevolutionof3Gdigitalcellularintoanadvancedbroadband mobileaccess.Thefocusofthisbookisontheevolutionofthe3Gmobilecommu- nicationasdevelopedinthe3GPPstandardization(ThirdGenerationPartnership Project),lookingattheradioaccessandaccessnetworkevolution.
