CONVERGED COMMUNICATIONS A one-of-a-kind exploration of the past,
present, and future of telecommunications In Converged
Communications: Evolution from Telephony to 5G Mobile Internet,
telecommunications industry veteran Erkki Koivusalo delivers an
essential reference describing how different communications systems
work, how they have evolved from fixed telephone networks to the
latest 5G mobile systems, and how the voice and data services
converged. The central theme of the book is to build deeper
understanding about incremental technological progress by
introducing both state of the art and their predecessor
technologies. The book explores four main areas, including fixed
telephone systems, data communication systems, mobile cellular
systems, and IP multimedia systems. It clearly explains
architectures, protocols, and functional procedures, and discusses
a variety of topics ranging from physical layer processes to system
level interactions. Converged -Communications offers: In-depth
treatments of fixed telephone and transmission systems, including
operation of telephone exchanges and signaling systems
Comprehensive explorations of data communication systems, including
transmission of data over telephone lines and data network
technologies, such as Ethernet and TCP/IP Incisive discussions of
mobile cellular systems, including GSM, 3G, LTE, VoLTE and 5G
Insightful analysis of incremental system evolution to justify
various design choices made The book is supported with extensive
online appendices, which covers communication system concepts, an
overview of standardization, various technologies used in the past,
state-of-the art technologies such as WLAN, cable modems, and FTTx,
complementing the other systems described in the book which have
evolved from the fixed telephone network. Perfect for network
operators, system integrators, and communication system vendors,
Converged Communications: Evolution from Telephony to 5G Mobile
Internet will also earn a place in the libraries of undergraduate
and graduate students studying telecommunications and mobile
systems. Constructive comments and improvement proposals about
