DVD-Video Course V6:
Understanding Wireless 1
Analog vs. digital · Cellular · CDMA and TDMA · GSM/GPRS · 3G · Wireless Web · Applications |
|
|
Understanding Wireless 1 begins with basic radio concepts, understanding "analog radio" and "digital radio", then covers fundamentals of mobile communication networks: base stations, cells, handoffs and mobility. |
| With this in place, we go through the first and second generation technologies: AMPS, TDMA, GSM and CDMA, and understand how each works, their strengths and weaknesses and how they relate to each other. |
| In Part 3, we concentrate on data over cellular and 3G, and cover the differences between GPRS, Wideband CDMA or UMTS, cdma2000, 1X, 3X, 1XEV-DO and HSPA. We review expected throughput in bits/second and which carriers are supporting which technologies. We conclude with applications such as i-mode, SMS, wireless email, web, WAP and XML. |
|
| This video provides you with a real understanding of how a cellular network operates, the main technologies, the opposing camps championing different systems, and wireless applications. |
