CDMA Capacity and Quality Optimization

With this essential expert guide and toolkit, you can get the best of CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) -- now a key component of 3G systems worldwide. In CDMA Capacity and Quality Optimization, experts Adam Rosenberg and Sid Kemp explain every aspect of CDMA cellular networks: Radio Frequency, Telephony, Signaling, and Data Transmission. Book jacket.

Adam N. Rosenberg is an industrial mathematician who has worked in wireless and landline telephony, airline planning, railroad line optimization, used car value prediction, printed circuit board design and manufacture, image processing of flood plain maps, and, currently, hotel revenue management. He worked with the cellular founders at Bell Telephone Laboratories on Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS) and, more recently, on Broadband Code Division Multiple Access (B-CDMA) at InterDigital Communications Corporation. Dr. Rosenberg earned his A.B. in Mathematics from Princeton University, cum laude, and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Operations Research from Stanford University. He can be reached at adam@the-adam.com

Sid Kemp is an expert in architecture, standards, quality management, and organizational structure for information technology and telecommunications. As president of Quality Technology & Instruction (QTI), he provides clients with consulting and training that increase quality of service especially by improving teamwork between technical engineers and business experts and executives.
