Product Description The rapid growth of telecommunication in recent years has necessitated the creation of increasingly powerful and complex signaling systems and procedures. Once limited to setting up and releasing "plain old telephone service" calls, signaling functions now also support a variety of new telecommunication services. To operate effectively in this dynamic industry requires a solid grasp of the different systems and how they work. This book provides accessible, balanced coverage of subscriber signaling, interexchange signaling, signaling between mobile stations and a mobile network, and signaling between exchanges and other network entities. First, it provides a general introduction to telecommunication networks, with a hardware-oriented look at trunks, exchanges, and other basic components. It then introduces signaling concepts gradually, beginning with the older Channel-Associated Signaling (CAS) systems and progressing through today's Common-Channel Signaling (CCS) systems. Specific systems discussed include R2, CCITT No. 5, CCITT No. 6 and its North American counterpart, Common-Channel Interoffice Signaling (CCIS). Signaling System No. 7 (SS7) is treated in detail through a separate examination of its constituent elements-including its message transfer, telephone user, and ISDN user parts. Readers will also find information on U.S. and international requirements, signaling for transactions, and many other important topics.Complete with acronym glossaries and extensive references, Signaling in Telecommunication Networks serves as an excellent introductory text for students as well as a valuable reference for telecommunication engineers and technical managers. Complete single-source coverage of signaling systems, concepts, and development This book offers a thorough, accessible examination of signaling in fixed, mobile, and intelligent telecommunication networks. Providing the reader with a solid grasp of the concepts of channel-associated and common-channel signaling, it is an important basic resource for students approaching the subject for the first time as well as engineers and technical managers seeking up-to-date information on the latest technology. * Examines Bell System Multifrequency, R2, CCITT No. 5, CCITT No. 6, and CCIS signaling systems * Contains in-depth material on Signaling System No. 7-with separate chapters on its message transfer, telephone user, ISDN user, and other parts * Describes signaling on the radio interface between mobile stations and a mobile network * Explores the digital subscriber signaling system DSS1 * Explores applications of transactions in intelligent and mobile networks * Discusses both U.S. and international requirements * Includes references and lists of acronyms * Features hundreds of illustrations highlighting key systems and concepts | ||

A great book for understanding Signaling and Telecomm I am teaching a college course on Telecommunications Technologies and have read over ten books on various communications areas, as well as numeroous web articles. This book is probably the best presentation I have read so far. It gives a precise and clear description of the topics it covers. It combines two seemingly conflicting characteristics: it is concise but comprehensive. The presentation is very illuminating because it often explains the rationale behind features of protocols and architectures. Descriptions of telecomm networks, transmission etc, given in the book as background, are very good for overview and general understanding. I warmly recommend the book. | ||
I like it a lot! Well written. Both this book and Manterfield's book are the best books in this area at the moment. It is clear the author is very technical skilled in Signalling, and this makes for a book that is easy to read and to understand. I do not think that if you wish to know about signalling/SS7 that you will be disappointed with buying this book. | ||
best signaling book best book I have read on telecom signaling. I especially like the chapters on SS7, TUP, ISUP, ISDN Q.931. The coverage focuses more on functionality than on the details of the protocols, which you can anyway pick up from the standards once you have the basic understanding. This book uses a lot of examples that make sense and the author appears to know the technology well enough to provide useful insight. The materials have been digested and very readably presented to the reader. This is a book you can really learn a lot comparing with other books which blatantly copy the standard text. | ||
The only readable book on telecommunication signaling Van Bosse is to be commended for creating the first and to date only readable text on telecommunication signaling. If you're looking for an explanation of how various signaling protocols are used in the PSTN, this book provides all the essential information you need. | ||
Good book for basic to advanced concepts in signaling. A good book to understand basic and advanced concepts in telecom signaling. Covers all most all the latest technologies. In the next addition author can introduce another chapter on analog signaling like FXS, FXO and E&M. Although digital signaling is catching up but still there are few systems which uses older analog signaling. Moreover it will be more useful if it takes examples from real world carrier networks using 5ESS, EWSD and E10B switches. Please add something on ** QSIG ** also. | ||
