1757B-9 Designing state-of-the-art CDMA systems, start to finish. The comprehensive, up-to-date CDMA design resource for every professional Digital CDMA mobile communications systems already serve millions of users, but techniques for optimizing these systems are still continuing to evolve through research and field testing. In the Handbook of CDMA System Design, Engineering, and Optimization, leading CDMA researcher Dr. Kyoung Il Kim and the Members of Technical Staff of Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies bring together the field's most valuable experience and methods in a single authoritative, up-to-date resource for every working CDMA professional. The authors offer in-depth coverage of all key issues associated with CDMA system engineering, presenting clear guidelines and advanced simulations that address everything from RF design to traffic engineering and antenna installation. Coverage also includes: * Intrasystem and intersystem interference estimation * Pilot channel PN assignment * Access and paging channel capacity and engineering * Handoff-related issues * Link budgets, link capacity, link coverage, and more About the CD-ROM The accompanying CD-ROM contains a demonstration version of Bell Labs' Cellular Engineering 4 (CE4), the industry's most advanced CDMA coverage prediction software-ideal for gaining hands-on experience with CDMA cell planning.
