Get a complete classification of resource allocation strategies (RAS) and their application to micro- and macrocellular systems with this helpful new book. It addresses the problem of resource allocation in mobile cellular networks, and presents RAS for operation in Universal Mobile Telecommunications systems formed of Hierarchical Cellular structures, which result in improved service for cellular customers. Resource Allocation in Hierarchical Cellular Systems is the first book to examine RAS for TDMA and CDMA systems in multi-layered cellular structures, helping you plan and design more effective networks. It also describes numerous evaluation methods to help you implement superior channel allocation in a variety of environments, saving you time and development costs during planning and simulation. This unique resource shows you how the increased spectrum efficiency of systems such as TDMA, CDMA, and Wide Band CDMA is likely to appear in the forthcoming generation of Universal Mobile Telecommunications systems. Increased spectrum efficiency means reduced infrastructure in current and future cellular networks, an increased number of users, and a decrease in network planning. Featuring real-world examples, this is an indispensable resource for microwave and telecommunications engineers, researchers, cellular planners, cellular network service providers, as well as college professors and graduate-level communications engineering students.
