Description 

The present information age is enabled by telecommunications and information technology and the continued convergence of their services, technologies and business models. Within telecommunications, the historic separations between fixed networks, mobile telephone networks and data communications are diminishing. Similarly, information technology and enterprise communications show convergence with telecommunications. These synergies are captured in the concept of Next Generation Networks that result from evolution to new technologies, enabling new services and applications.

Network Convergence creates a framework to aid the understanding of Next Generation Networks, their potential for supporting new and enhanced applications and their relationships with legacy networks. The book identifies and explains the concepts and principles underlying standards for networks, services and applications.

Network Convergence:

  • Gives comprehensive coverage of packet multimedia, enterprise networks, third generation mobile communications, OSA/Parlay and developments in fixed networks.
  • Gives an integrated view of diverse information and communications systems and technology through a common NGN Framework.
  • Delves into protocols, APIs and software processes for supporting services and applications in advanced networks.
  • Discusses a variety of applications of telecommunications supporting IT and IT enhanced by communications.
  • Follows developments in operations support systems standards and links these to next generation networks.
  • Includes a wealth of examples, use cases, tables and illustrations that help reinforce the material for students and practitioners.
  • Features an accompanying website with PowerPoint presentations, glossary, web references, tutorial problems, and 'learn more' pages.

This essential reference guide will prove invaluable to advanced undergraduate and graduate students, academics and researchers. It will also be of interest to professionals working for telecommunications network operators, equipment vendors, telecoms regulators, and engineers who wish to further their knowledge of next generation networks.

描述

當前的信息時代是由電信和信息技術所驅動，並且這些服務、技術和商業模式的持續融合。在電信領域，固定網絡、移動電話網絡和數據通信之間的歷史性分隔正在減少。同樣，信息技術和企業通信也顯示出與電信的融合。這些協同效應在下一代網絡（Next Generation Networks）的概念中得以體現，這是由於新技術的演變，促進了新服務和應用的出現。

《網絡融合》（Network Convergence）創建了一個框架，以幫助理解下一代網絡、它們支持新和增強應用的潛力以及它們與舊有網絡的關係。本書識別並解釋了網絡、服務和應用標準背後的概念和原則。

《網絡融合》：
- 全面涵蓋了數據包多媒體、企業網絡、第三代移動通信、OSA/Parlay以及固定網絡的發展。
- 通過共同的NGN框架提供多樣的信息和通信系統及技術的綜合視圖。
- 深入探討了支持先進網絡中服務和應用的協議、API和軟件過程。
- 討論了支持IT的電信應用及由通信增強的IT的各種應用。
- 跟蹤運營支持系統標準的發展，並將其與下一代網絡聯繫起來。
- 包含大量的示例、用例、表格和插圖，幫助加強學生和從業者的學習材料。
- 提供一個附屬網站，包含PowerPoint演示文稿、詞彙表、網頁參考、教程問題和“了解更多”頁面。

這本重要的參考指南對於高年級本科生和研究生、學者和研究人員將是無價的。它也將吸引為電信網絡運營商、設備供應商、電信監管機構和希望進一步了解下一代網絡的工程師的專業人士。
