Book Description
Introduces graduate and advanced undergraduate students, engineers, and managers in telecommunications to designing switched telecommunications networks in terms of probabilities. Describes the basic theory and its application to both circuit- switched and packet-switched systems. Also introduces simulation techniques for the increasing number of systems that are too complex to be analyzed by theoretical methods, and includes other applications such as reliability, tolerances, and the system implications of radio fading.

Performance Engineering
Author: Reiner Dumke
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3540451560
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
Initially, computer systems performance analyses were carried out primarily because of limited resources. Due to ever increasing functional complexity of computational systems and user requirements, performance engineering continues to play a major role in software development. This book assesses the state of the art in performance engineering. Besides revised chapters drawn from two workshops on performance engineering held in 2000, additional chapters were solicited in order to provide complete coverage of all relevant aspects. The first part is devoted to the relation between software engineering and performance engineering; the second part focuses on the use of models, measures, and tools; finally, case studies with regard to concrete technologies are presented. Researchers, professional software engineers, and advanced students interested in performance analysis will find this book an indispensable source of information and reference.

The Cable and Telecommunications Professionals' Reference
Author: Goff Hill
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1136034579
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 562
Book Description
This book is for any telecommunications-convergence professional who needs to understand the structure of the industry, the structure of telephony networks and services, and the equipment involved.With the growing variety of networks and technologies now on offer it is inevitable that some convergence will take place between different networks, services and products. New VOIP (voice over internet protocol) networks must interwork with traditional networks. For instance, mobile phones can offer data services; wireless broadband connections to laptops will allow VOIP phone calls away from base; users could have the option of 'convergent phones' that can be used on a landline when at home or business, but which can be used as a mobile when on the move, and so on.

Languages : en
Pages : 755
Book Description
Updates from unremarked dates material used in the Institute's vacation schools at Surrey University, which over the past 15 years have become the de-facto industry standard in satellite communications. The approach concentrates on the design and planning of systems, includes little theory, and just quotes equations rather than deriving them. New material has been added on the history and background of the field; the business aspects of satellite communications; and on new applications in mobile and personal communication systems, multimedia systems, military business and small satellites, navigation, and positioning. Graduate, undergraduate, and practicing engineers should benefit from the treatment. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
