Spread Spectrum in Mobile Communication

Presenting a technology that adapts radio communication to computational data information processing networks, first reviews the concepts of modern mobile communication and the user requirements and operational environment that influence the design of mobile systems. Then focuses on mobility issues for a decentralized network topology and the effects of spread spectrum modulation on radios used in packet-switched networks. Shows how connecting radio terminals using packet switching provides a highly flexible and efficient solution for mobile users. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
