High Speed Radio Access for Mobile Communications

From the editors of the highly successful WCDMA for UMTS, this new book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date reference to High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) technologies for WCDMA. 

The editors cover both HSDPA and HSUPA, including an in-depth description and explanation of 3GPP standards, and expected performance based on simulations
and first measurements.

The text also discusses the impact of HSDPA and HSUPA on network dimensioning,
covers applications and end-to-end performance in detail, and includes a section on radio frequency requirements and terminal design considerations.

The most comprehensive and advanced guide to the HSDPA
(High Speed Downlink Packet Access) and HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access) technologies and standardisation, HSDPA/HSUPA for UMTS:

• Analyses the impact of HSDPA/HSUPA on network dimensioning,
  discussing co-existence with R99 (Release 99) and GPRS/EDGE
  (General Packet Radio Services/ Enhanced Data GSM Environment)
• Contains a section on applications and end-to-end (e2e) performance
  Includes a chapter on radio frequency (RF) requirements and terminal
  design considerations, covering different RF bands, multi-band HSDPA
  and multi-mode HSDPA+EDGE challenges, power consumption
• Provides numerous illustrations of 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) standards and performance

Finally–a single volume guide to really effective security for both voice and data wireless networks!

More and more data and voice communications are going via wireless at some point between the sender and intended recipient. As a result, truly “bulletproof” wireless security is now more than a desirable feature–instead, it’s a necessity to protect essential personal and business data from hackers and eavesdroppers.

In this handy reference, Praphul Chandra gives you the conceptual and practical tools every RF, wireless, and network engineer needs for high-security wireless applications.

Inside this book youll find coverage of these essential topics:

+ Cryptographic protocols used in wireless networks.
+ Key-based protocols, including key exchange and authentication techniques
+ Various types of wireless network attacks, including reflection, session hijacks, and Fluhrer-Mantin-Shamir (FMS) attacks.
+ Encryption/decryption standards and methods.
+ Multi-layered security architectures.
+ Secure sockets layer (SSL) and transport layer security (TLS) protocols.
+ Cellular telephone network architectures and their vulnerabilities.
+ Modulation techniques, such as direct-sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM).

And youll also find coverage on such cutting-edge topics as security techniques for ad hoc networks and protecting Bluetooth networks. If youre serious about wireless security, then this title belongs on your reference bookshelf!
