Wireless Telecommunications Networking with ANSI-41 2nd Edition Mike Gallagher and Randall Snyder 575 pages $74.95 Hardcover 0071352317 All the details you need, in the only guide dedicated exclusively to the ANSI-41 protocol! ANSI-41--the worldwide standard for wireless telecommunications network signaling--is as challenging in its complexity as IS-41, the standard it replaces. Now two of the contributors to both standards explain the changes and the operational details and protocol usage of the new ANSI-41 standard in easy-to-understand terms, providing a clear understanding of ANSI-41's key components, including its functions, features, messages, parameters, and procedures. o How mobile networks complete calls through the PSTN o ANSI-41's support for analog and digital interfaces o Interoperations between ANSI-41 and other networks o In-depth details on operations and protocol usage o Intersystem handoff and automatic roaming functions o Call processing and Short Message Service (SMS) functions o Authentication functions o Over-the-Air (OTA) activation and programming functions o Wireless Intelligent Network (WIN) functions o Lawfully Authorized Electronic Surveillance (LAES), Wireless Number Portability, Enhanced Emergency Services
