These changes are the result of  technological advances, deregulation, the proliferation of broadband  service offers, and the spectacular popularity of the Internet and  wireless services. In such adynamic technological and economic  environment, competition is increasing among service providers and  among equipment manufacturers. Consequently, optimization of the  planning process is becoming essential. Although telecommunications  network planning has been tackled by the Operations Research community  for some time, many fundamental problems remain challenging. Through  its fourteen chapters, this book covers some new and some still  challenging older problems which arise in the planning of  telecommunication networks. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eTelecommunications Network Planning\u003c\/em\u003e will benefit both  telecommunications practitioners looking for efficient methods to  solve their problems and operations researchers interested in  telecommunications. The book examines network design and dimensioning  problems; it explores Operation Research issues related to a new  standard Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM); it overviews problems that  arise when designing survivable SDH\/SONET Networks; it considers some  broadband network problems; and it concludes with three chapters on  wireless and mobile networks. Leading area researchers have  contributed their recent research on the telecommunications and  network topics treated in the volume.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792383970\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-5087-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 270\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312857960588,"sku":"9780792383970","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792383970.jpg?v=1771531804","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792383970","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
