About this book

Mobile and Wireless Networks is a clear, comprehensive, and up-to-date guide to mobile and wireless networks, authored by Uyless Black, one of the world's leading telecommunications consultants and educators. The book focuses not only on the physical aspects of wireless networks, but also on the data link and network layers. Mobile and Wireless Networks introduces the basics of wireless and mobile systems, and then takes a detailed look at the international wireless/mobile infrastructure - including AMPS, IS-41, TDMA, CDMA, the GSM standard, and the PCS systems that are rapidly coming to market. There are detailed explanations of both the technical and licensing issues surrounding PCS, including coverage of the recent FCC license auctions. Black also covers wireless data, including wireless LANs, CDPD, enhanced throughput cellular modems, and other alternatives. Finally, Black considers the issues of security and network management that will help determine the success of failure of wireless networks in the marketplace. Whether you are a telecommunications professional, computer scientist, or electrical engineer, Mobile and Wireless Networks is your ideal reference to the new world of wireless communications.

Defining moments

Joseph L. Badaracco, Jr

This is a book about work choices and life choices, and the critical points - or defining moments - at which the two become one. A refreshing antidote to traditional feel-good, inspirational business ethics, it examines the right-versus-right conflicts that every business manager faces and presents an unorthodox yet practical way for you to think about and resolve them. When making hard professional decisions, managers often use personal values as a touchstone. Badaracco asserts, however, that resolving such dilemmas is not as simple as the "do the right thing" school of ethics would have you believe. Defining Moments reveals an alternative approach that will help you tackle the more complex and troubling question of what to do when doing the right thing requires doing something else wrong, or leaving another right thing undone. Drawing on philosophy, literature, and three case studies that reveal the complexity today's managers face as their careers advance, Defining Moments provides tangible examples, actionable steps, and a flexible framework that you can use to make the choices that will shape not only your career, but your character.
