Wireless Telecommunications Networking with ANSI-41, Second Edition
by: Randall A. Snyder, Michael D. Gallagher
Abstract: ALL-IN-ONE GUIDE TO ANSI-41 Revision E is the North American standard for wireless telecommunications network signaling. Written by Randall Snyder and Michael Gallagher, two of the new standard’s developers, Wireless Tel Network with ANSI-41, Second Edition provides you with the latest need-to-know revisions, operational details, and protocol usage of the standard. This edition packs a new chapter on WIN (Wireless Intelligent Network) and a complete listing of federally mandated features and functions. You’ll explore wireless telecommunications standards, signaling, and network reference models…wireless functionality… structure of the ANSI-41 standard and protocol architecture…basic intersystem handoff functions, automatic roaming functions, authentication functions, call processing functions, short-message service functions, and operations, administration, and maintenance functions.
