Narrowband Land-Mobile Radio Networks

This text is designed for workers in the field and professional engineers, as well as radio equipment manufacturers involved in the design and planning of mobile networks. It is suitable for university text adoption in mobile networks courses.

VHF and UHF propagation in land-mobile communication; probability of signal outage; threshold crossing rate and average (non-) fade duration; average bit error rate in CW communication; random multiple access to mobile radio channels; models for receiver capture in mobile random-access networks; spatial distributions of traffic in mobile slotted ALOHA networks; frequency re-use in wide-area packet-switched networks; discussions and conclusions; appendices.
