Understanding Cellular Radio (Artech House Telecommunications Library)

Here's a book written specifically for non-technical personnel who work with engineers, but aren't familiar with the engineering concepts and technical aspects of cellular radio and telecommunications systems. Using plain, easy-to-read language, with no mathematics, this book helps you understand the "hows and whys" behind cellular network design, explains WLL design functions, and illustrates how cellular radio systems locate and send calls to subscribers. The book also identifies and compares several key radio systems in use today, and even looks ahead to future cellular and WLL systems, based on current industry trends. It includes real-world examples, chapter-end questions and solutions, a complete glossary of terms and acronyms, and "at-a-glance" sections of key concepts.
