DESCRIPTION:
Lots of errors and not a good explanation of SONET A Customer This book was published by the IEEE. It lists two technical reviewers (Curtis Newton and Kevin Sparks) and the author thanks certain anonymous reviewers, I assume, in addition to Newton and Sparks. And yet, the book has an amazing number of errors, even to my quick reading. For example, on page 4 he credits Shannon as developing the criteria that you must sample at twice the bandwidth of interest, when this is generally credited to Nyquist (even Shannon credits Nyquist). On page 10, he claims that 2B1Q is limited to 392 Kbps, when 2B1Q is used on HDSL to provision T1 lines at 1.544 Mbps over two pair. Very basic introduction and overview of SONET and ATM A Customer This book is certainly not a in-depth/exhaustive documentation of SONET and ATM. However, it does provide a general understanding of how SONET/ATM fits in the grand scheme of things. It explains some of the obvious facts of why things are the way they are (e.g. 4Kbps BW of human voice signal, and therefore 8Ksps by Nyquist's sampling theory).I do agree with Newport Beach reader that there seems to be some errors (I didn't know Shannon is accredited with 2X sampling theory, I have never heard of frequency hopping associated with DMT, usual just CDMA/SS).I do find the book well organized and ideas flow. Ample illustration / Inordinary approach The book is thin ( less than 300 pages ). However, it covers 2 topics: SONET and ATM. It goes in a slightly abnormal way to arrange the content: Many detail facts, less explaination. For example, it provides a huge amount of figures in comparison with other books. There are some sentances describing the coverage of SONET on OSI-RM to be from layer 1 to layer 7, but no further discussion to tell us why? It does give us a crue to refer to the GR documents of Bellcore, but this apears to be another difficault problem. It's also a pity of lacking completeness. For example, TMN is not mentioned here; whil

This concise book features easy-to-follow illustrations, review questions, worked examples, and valuable references. "Optical communications and fiber technology are fast becoming key solutions for the increasing bandwidth demands of the 21st century. This introductory text provides practicing engineers, managers, and students with a useful guide to the latest developments and future trends of three major technologies: SONET, SDH, and ATM, and a brief introduction to legacy TDM communications systems. An accompanying CD-ROM provides the key figures in full color, suitable for easy cut-and-paste presentations. UNDERSTANDING SONET/SDH AND ATM is a must-read for communication professionals who want to improve their knowledge of this emerging technology." Sponsored by: IEEE Communications Society. There are clear explanations of: * How ATM is mapped onto SONET/SDH * The role of IP networking with ATM * Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) * The future direction of convergence of communications
