WCDMA Requirements and Practical Design

WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), an ITU standard derived from code division multiple access (CDMA) is officially known as IMT-2000 direct spread. WCDMA is a third generation mobile wireless technology offering much higher data speeds to mobile and portable wireless devices than commonly offered in today’s market. WCDMA is a relatively new technology and there is little information in the public domain about specific design issues. The proposed book will discuss UMTS/WCDMA from the perspective of a potential development engineer, who may have experience of GSM but none of WCDMA technology. The book will outline the design specifications and potential problems and solutions faced by by an engineer designing a mobile device such as a handset.

WCDMA: Requirements and Practical Design:

  • Offers in-depth coverage of the critical issues in designing a UMTS handset modem.
  • Discusses the practical design elements of a UMTS modem.
  • Authored by leaders in their field, working at Ubinetics.

Highly relevant to professional software engineers, Design engineers, Electrical engineers (RF base-band, DSP software, protocol software), technical managers, postgraduate students and academics.

Wrox Professional ASP NET 2.0 Server Control and Component Development

The ASP.NET 2.0 Framework introduced web developers to dozens of new server controls and components, and a greatly expanded and easier structure for writing their own server controls and components. Professional ASP.NET 2.0 Server Control and Component Development covers the breadth of server control functionality as well as the rest of the membership, role management, SchemaImporterExtension, and so on the functionality referred to as components. Written for the experienced ASP.NET developer, Professional ASP.NET 2.0 Server Control and Component Development will show you how to write your first sever control or custom

The step-by-step coverage drills down to the details of the extensible part of the ASP.NET 2.0 Framework that you need to extend to write the specified type of custom control or component. Rather than present the extensible part as a black box, it presents a detailed step-by-step approach to implement functional replica of the extensible part, discusses the replica’s code in detail, and provides an in-depth coverage of the techniques, tools, and technologies used in the code. From there you get a detailed practical recipe for developing the specified type of custom control or component and book then uses the recipe to implement one or more real-world custom controls or components of the specified

Some of the many types of controls and components you’ll learn to build

- Ajax-enabled controls and components: four chapters on Ajax discuss and use Ajax patterns, ASP.NET 2.0 client callback mechanism, CSS, DOM, XML, and JavaScript to implement a number of Ajax-enabled controls and Web Parts: four chapters on Web Parts in ASP.NET 2.0 develop a number of custom WebPart, EditorPart, CatalogPart, WebPartZone, WebPartChrome
- 5 chapters on ASP.NET 2.0 security, membership, and role management
- 5 chapters on ASP.NET 2.0 tabular and hierarchical data source controls
- 4 chapters on ASP.NET 2.0 tabular data-bound controls and data control
- Developing controls and components that can access any type of data store and automate all their data operations such as Delete, Update,
- XML Web service, WSDL, Google XML Web service API, XmlReader, XmlWriter, XPathNavigator, DOM, and XmlResolver
- Provider-Based Services including how to implement a RSS service provider that can feed RSS from any type of data store such as SQL
- HTTP modules, HTTP handler factories, HTTP handlers, and control builders including developing an HTTP module and an HTTP handler factory
- User controls and composite and templated custom controls
- State management and custom type converters.
- Events, IPostBackEventHandler, IPostBackDataHandler, and Page lifecycle

UML Bible

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) has been formally under development since 1994. UML is a distillation of three major notations and a number of modeling techniques drawn from widely diverse methodologies that have been in practice over the previous two decades. During this time it has had an undeniable impact on the way we view systems development. Despite early competition from existing modeling notations, UML has become the de facto standard for modeling object-oriented software for nearly 70 percent of IT shops. UML has been adopted by companies throughout the world, and today more than 50 commercial and academic modeling tools support software and business modeling using UML.
