Editorial Reviews

Review
"I recommend this book as a perfect guide to state-of-the-art telecommunications signaling, especially as an advanced undergraduate course book." (Computing Reviews.com, August 6, 2007)

"If you need to understand the topic of telecommunications signaling or want to update your knowledge of some of the new or expanded technologies, then...[it] may be the only book you need." (Blogcritics.org, March 2, 2007)

Product Description
Guidance to help you grasp even the most complex network structures and signaling protocols

The Second Edition of Signaling in Telecommunication Networks has been thoroughly updated, offering new chapters and sections that cover the most recent developments in signaling systems and procedures. This acclaimed book covers subscriber and network signaling in both fixed and mobile networks.

Coverage begins with an introduction to circuit-switched telephone networks, including an examination of trunks, exchanges, access systems, transmission systems, and other basic components. Next, the authors introduce signaling concepts, beginning with older Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) systems and progressing to today's Common Channel Signaling (CCS) systems. The book then examines packet networks and their use in transmitting voice (VoIP), TCP/IP protocols, VoIP signaling protocols, and ATM protocols.

Throughout the book, the authors emphasize functionality, particularly the roles of individual protocols and how they fit in network architectures, helping readers grasp even the most complex network structures and signaling protocols. Highlights of the Second Edition include:

  • Coverage of the latest developments and topics, including new chapters on access networks, intelligent network application part, signaling for voice communication in packet networks, and ATM signaling
  • Drawings and tables that help readers understand and visualize complex systems
  • Comprehensive, updated references for further study
  • Examples to help readers make the bridge from theory to application

With the continued growth and expansion of the telecommunications industry, the Second Edition is essential reading for telecommunications students as well as anyone involved in this dynamic industry needing a solid understanding of the different signaling systems and how they work. Moreover, the book helps readers wade through the voluminous and complex technical standards by providing the essential structure, terminology, and functionality needed to understand them.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only readable book on telecommunication signaling, October 11, 1999
By A Customer
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for basic to advanced concepts in signaling., July 30, 1999
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars best signaling book, August 23, 2000
By A Customer
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.
