Understanding 3G Wireless Mobile Communications
The Understanding 3G Wireless Mobile Communications
course provides
students with knowledge of Cellular / Personal Communications Service (PCS)
frequencies and mobile terminals. Today's data-centric world will not tolerate
the old slow-speed wireless data. We have progressed from the era of the mobile
/ cordless telephone, through the Cellular / PCS boom of the 1990s to the Third
Generation (3G) Wireless era. Today, companies are experimenting with
higher-speed products and services that will provide from one megabit up to
hundreds of megabits of throughput per second. These systems, however, will have
to be designed with an appreciation for the hostile atmosphere in which wireless
exists.
