IP for 3G: Networking Technologies for Mobile Communications

Publisher: Wiley
Author(s): Dave Wisely, Philip Eardley, Louise Burness
ISBN: 0471486973
Published: August 2, 2002

What is an ‘all-IP’ network? What difference will IP networking make to 3G services?
Third Generation (3G) mobile offers access to broadband multimedia services - and in the future most of these, even voice and video, will be IP-based. However 3G networks are not based on IP technologies, rather they are an evolution from existing 2G networks. Much work needs to be done to IP QoS and mobility protocols and architectures for them to be able to provide the functionality 3G requires.
IP for 3G gives a comprehensive overview of 3G networking functionality and examines how IP protocols can be developed to provide some of the basic building blocks of a mobile system (mobility, QoS and call control)
Features:
* Clear explanation of how 3G works at the network level.
* Review of IP protocol and architectural principles.
* Extensive review, classification and analysis of IP mobility protocols - macro and micro- including IPv6.
* Analysis of IP QoS protocols and proposed solutions for mobile networks.
* Tutorial on SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) and how SIP can be used for multimedia session control.
* Description of latest UMTS developments - including Release 5.
* Discussion of 4G networks - what does 4G mean?

IP for 3G will appeal to mobile telecommunications and network engineers who want to know about future developments as well as system designers and developers. Students and academics on postgraduate courses related to telecommunications, especially 3G networking or IP protocols, will find this text ideal supplementary reading, only assuming a general knowledge of GSM and general networking principles.

Programming Mobile Devices: An Introduction for Practitioners

Publisher John Wiley and Sons
Author(s) Tommi Mikkonen
ISBN 0470057386
Release Date 06 April 2007

The importance of mobile systems programming has emerged over the recent years as a new domain in software development. The design of software that runs in a mobile device requires that developers combine the rules applicable in embedded environment; memory-awareness, limited performance, security, and limited resources with features that are needed in workstation environment; modifiability, run-time extensions, and rapid application development.

Programming Mobile Devices is a comprehensive, practical introduction to programming mobile systems. The book is a platform independent approach to programming mobile devices: it does not focus on specific technologies, and devices, instead it evaluates the component areas and issues that are common to all mobile software platforms. This text will enable the designer to programme mobile devices by mastering both hardware-aware and application-level software, as well as the main principles that guide their design.

Programming Mobile Devices:

* Provides a complete and authoritative overview of programming mobile systems.
* Discusses the major issues surrounding mobile systems programming; such as understanding of embedded systems and workstation programming.
* Covers memory management, the concepts of applications, dynamically linked libraries, concurrency, handling local resources, networking and mobile devices as well as security features.
* Uses generic examples from JavaTM and Symbian OS to illustrate the principles of mobile device programming.

The Symbian OS Architecture Sourcebook: Design and Evolution of a Mobile Phone OS

Publisher John Wiley and Sons
Author(s) Ben Morris
ISBN 0470018461
Release Date 22 June 2007

The current Symbian Press list focuses very much on the small scale features of Symbian OS in a programming context. The Architecture Sourcebook is different.

It’s not a how-to book, it’s a ‘what and why’ book. And because it names names as it unwinds the design decisions which have shaped the OS, it is also a ‘who’ book. It will show where the OS came from, how it has evolved to be what it is, and provide a simple model for understanding what it is, how it is put together, and how to interface to it and work with it. It will also show why design decision were made, and will bring those decisions to life in the words of Symbian’s key architects and developers, giving an insider feel to the book as it weaves the “inside story” around the architectural presentation.

The book will describe the OS architecture in terms of the Symbian system model. It will show how the model breaks down the system into parts, what role the parts play in the system, how the parts are architected, what motivates their design, and how the design has evolved through the different releases of the system.

Key system concepts will be described; design patterns will be explored and related to those from other operating systems. The unique features of Symbian OS will be highlighted and their motivation and evolution traced and described.

The book will include a substantial reference section itemising the OS and its toolkit at component level and providing a reference entry for each component.
