Abstract

From the Publisher:Mobile Communications are evolving from second generation systems towards a third generation, capable of accommodating a variety of services in different environments at various bit rates. Communications are becoming increasingly flexible, to account for the progressive migration towards third generation systems (UMTS) and their merging into fourth generation systems, and personalised due to the unique opportunities offered by emerging radio communication technologies.COST is a European forum for co-operative scientific research. COST action 259 in the field of telecommunications involves 250 researchers in 15 technical areas from 80 organisations in 18 countries, covering both academia and industry. The aim of COST Action 259 was to increase the knowledge of radio system aspects for flexible personalised communications which are capable of delivering different services and exploiting different bandwidths. The objective was also to develop new modelling techniques and related planning tools, in order to guarantee continuity (and quality) of services, delivered by networks of widely different capabilities and structures, across a number of different environments. Furthermore, in the perspective of a fast evolving demand for interfacing the photonic (glassfibre) network with the wireless network, investigations on the mutual interactions were also carriedProvides excellent insight into the evolution of second generation systems to third and beyondWritten by leading european researchers throughout academia and industry, including Deutsche Telekom, Ericsson, Bosch Telecom and TelefonicaPresents the latest research in mobile communications in the three key areasof radio systems aspects, antennas and propagation and networks aspectsThis text offers the cutting edge of wireless communications, and is essential reading for researchers, and engineers in the industry, as well as offering up to date background reading for students of this rapidly evolving topic.
