Abstract

From the Publisher:This is a comprehensive survey of transport network technologies developed within this decade, written by a leading expert in ATM and WDM, who led the development of ATM and photonic networking technologies from the beginning, and has been introducing new concepts and developing the key technologies extensively. First, Dr. Sato explains the scope of the book, stressing the layered architecture of transport network. He then elaborates recently developed transport technologies, including a comparison of SDH and ATM which indicates the inherent advantages of the latter, and explores the key technologies needed to fully utilize the SDH and ATM. The emphasis throughout is on creating large networks. This is the first book to present future transport network technology trends and to cover the emerging, cutting-edge technologies — optical networking technologies — which are essential in the development of future bandwidth-abundant and ubiquitous B-ISDN. It details the optical paths and the realization technologies, including optical path accommodation design and optical path cross-connect systems. Together with the detailed technical information required for network systems development, the author also describes the basic, fundamental ideas behind these technologies. He introduces new concepts in both optical networks and ATM, and draws links between STM, ATM and optical networks, which are becoming increasingly important to understand. This is a hot topic which no telecommunications engineer, researcher, provider, vendor or student can afford to ignore. In a single reference source, complete with 135 illustrations, 20 tables, and 50equations, you can access: 聲 An excellent introduction to the leading technologies 聲 Over 300 references to help with further research to fully develop these technologies 聲 First-hand information on optical networking technologies from the transport network viewpoint 聲 The motive force of new developments 聲 The trends in telecommunication transport network technology
