Therefore, it is vital to ensure a high level of quality and reliability within all telecommunications systems in order to guard against faults and the failure of components and network services. Within large scale systems such quality and reliability problems are ever higher.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The metrics of Quality and Reliability have to date only been available in journals and technical reports of companies which have designed or produced major parts of systems used in large applications. This book provides a self-contained treatment enabling the reader to be able to produce, define and utilise the metrics of Quality and Reliability required for the design and implementation of a large application such as a world class event as the Olympic Games. An additional outcome is that this book can be used as a guide for producing an ISO standard for large scale Systems such as the Olympic Games.\u003cbr\u003e * Provides presentations of techniques used for solving quality and reliability problems in telecommunications networks replete with illustrations of their applications to real-world services and world class events\u003cbr\u003e * Individual chapters written by respective international experts within their fields\u003cbr\u003e This will prove highly informative for Practising engineers, researchers and telecommunications professionals, academics and graduate students in telecommunications, standards bodies and organisations such as ISO.

The design and implementation of large scale telecommunication systems requires the interconnection and integration of diverse subsystems which need to provide a highly reliable system capable of offering high quality services. Over recent years, large scale systems designers have only had to deal with wireline systems and large scale operations have involved predominantly conventional subsystems. With the unprecedented expansion of IP systems and the parallel expansion of mobile, satellite and satellite\/mobile systems and their implementation in large scale telecommunication applications, the requirements for the development of reliable networks providing high quality services have become of paramount importance. This volume clearly tackles this objective and uses the Olympic Games as the case study.\u003cbr\u003e * Covers all of the major design aspects and quality metrics of large scale telecommunication systems\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e * Presents the quantitative measures of numerous design parameters for Internet based systems\/ services, cellular\/mobile, satellite\/mobile as well as large switching and home wireless systems, to aid system designers\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e * Features the Olympic Games as the test-bed application on the basis of quantitative metrics of quality and reliability\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e * Includes a contribution by Hossein Eslambolchi, AT\u0026amp;T's chief technology officer and president of AT\u0026amp;T Labs, USA\u003cbr\u003e Reliability, Survivability and Quality of Large Scale Telecommunication Systems will have wide-ranging appeal to practicing engineers, researchers and professionals as well as academics and graduate students in telecommunications and reliability engineering. It will also be of interest to standards bodies and organizations responsible for organizing, implementing and developing standards for World Class Events.","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989937733861,"sku":"NP9780470847701","price":283.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780470847701.jpg?v=1761785967","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/reliability-survivability-and-quality-of-large-scale-telecommunication-systems-isbn-9780470847701","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
