Signaling in Telecommunication Networks / Wiley Series in Telecommunications and Signal Processing Bd.1 (PDF)

Guidance to help you grasp even the most complex network
structures and signaling protocols

The Second Edition of Signaling in Telecommunication
Networks has been thoroughly updated, offering new chapters and
sections that cover the most recent developments in signaling
systems and procedures. This acclaimed book covers subscriber and
network signaling in both fixed and mobile networks.

Coverage begins with an introduction to circuit-switched
telephone networks, including an examination of trunks, exchanges,
access systems, transmission systems, and other basic components.
Next, the authors introduce signaling concepts, beginning with
older Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) systems and progressing to
today's Common Channel Signaling (CCS) systems. The book then
examines packet networks and their use in transmitting voice
(VoIP), TCP/IP protocols, VoIP signaling protocols, and ATM
protocols.

Throughout the book, the authors emphasize functionality,
particularly the roles of individual protocols and how they fit in
network architectures, helping readers grasp even the most complex
network structures and signaling protocols. Highlights of the
Second Edition include:

* Coverage of the latest developments and topics, including new
chapters on access networks, intelligent network application part,
signaling for voice communication in packet networks, and ATM
signaling

* Drawings and tables that help readers understand and visualize
complex systems

* Comprehensive, updated references for further study

* Examples to help readers make the bridge from theory to
application

With the continued growth and expansion of the
telecommunications industry, the Second Edition is essential
reading for telecommunications students as well as anyone involved
in this dynamic industry needing a solid understanding of the
different signaling systems and how they work. Moreover, the book
helps readers wade through the voluminous and complex technical
standards by providing the essential structure, terminology, and
functionality needed to understand them.
