Guidance to help you grasp even the most complex networkstructures and signaling protocols
The Second Edition of Signaling in TelecommunicationNetworks has been thoroughly updated, offering new chapters andsections that cover the most recent developments in signalingsystems and procedures. This acclaimed book covers subscriber andnetwork signaling in both fixed and mobile networks.
Coverage begins with an introduction to circuit-switchedtelephone networks, including an examination of trunks, exchanges,access systems, transmission systems, and other basic components.Next, the authors introduce signaling concepts, beginning witholder Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) systems and progressing totoday's Common Channel Signaling (CCS) systems. The book thenexamines packet networks and their use in transmitting voice(VoIP), TCP/IP protocols, VoIP signaling protocols, and ATMprotocols.
Throughout the book, the authors emphasize functionality,particularly the roles of individual protocols and how they fit innetwork architectures, helping readers grasp even the most complexnetwork structures and signaling protocols. Highlights of theSecond Edition include:
* Coverage of the latest developments and topics, including newchapters on access networks, intelligent network application part,signaling for voice communication in packet networks, and ATMsignaling
* Drawings and tables that help readers understand and visualizecomplex systems
* Comprehensive, updated references for further study
* Examples to help readers make the bridge from theory toapplication
With the continued growth and expansion of thetelecommunications industry, the Second Edition is essentialreading for telecommunications students as well as anyone involvedin this dynamic industry needing a solid understanding of thedifferent signaling systems and how they work. Moreover, the bookhelps readers wade through the voluminous and complex technicalstandards by providing the essential structure, terminology, andfunctionality needed to understand them.

JOHN G. VAN BOSSE, MS, is an electrical engineer with almostforty years in telecommunications. He worked at the AutomaticElectric Laboratories of General Telephone and Electronics, Inc.over a twenty-year period in several capacities, includingdevelopment engineer, department head, and consultant. He thenjoined AT&T Bell Laboratories (now Lucent Technologies), fromwhich he retired in 1991 as a DMTS (Distinguished Member ofTechnical Staff). He is the author of several papers ontelecommunications switching and traffic.
FABRIZIO U. DEVETAK, MS, studied electrical engineeringat the Politecnico di Milano, where he earned his degree in 1972.In the same year, he joined General Telephone and Electronics,Inc., working first in Italy and later in their U.S. laboratories.In 1984, he began working at AT&T Bell Laboratories (Lucent),where he met Mr. van Bosse. After retiring in 2001 as TechnicalManager, he completed a course on packet networking and obtainedCertified Network Associate (CCNA) and Certified NetworkProfessional (CCNP) technical certifications from Cisco Systems, aleading manufacturer of packet-switched telecommunicationsequipment.
