As the cellular world and the Internet converge, mobile networks are transitioning
from circuit to packet and the Internet Protocol (IP) is now recognized as the
fundamental building block for all next-generation communication networks. The
all-IP vision provides the flexibility to deliver cost-effective services and
applications that meet the evolving needs of mobile users. RF engineers, mobile
network designers, and system architects will be expected to have an understanding
of IP fundamentals and how their role in delivering the end-to-end system is
crucial for delivering the all-IP vision that makes the Internet accessible anytime, anywhere.

IP Design for Mobile Networks discusses proper IP design theory to effectively
plan and implement your next-generation mobile network so that IP integrates
all aspects of the network. The book outlines, from both a standards and a
design theory perspective, both the current and target state of mobile networks,
and the technology enablers that will assist the migration. This IP transition
begins with function-specific migrations of specific network domains and ends
with an end-to-end IP network for radio, transport, and service delivery. The
book introduces many concepts to give you exposure to the key technology trends
and decision points affecting today’s mobile operators.

The book is divided into three parts:

* Part I provides an overview of how IP is being integrated into mobile systems,
including radio systems and cellular networks.
* Part II provides an overview of IP, the technologies used for transport and connectivity
of today’s cellular networks, and how the mobile core is evolving to encompass IP technologies.
* Part III provides an overview of the end-to-end services network based on IP,
including context awareness and services.
* Presents an overview of what mobile networks look like today—including protocols used,
transport technologies, and how IP is being used for specific functions in mobile networks
* Provides an all-inclusive reference manual for IP design theory as related to the broader
application of IP for mobile networks
* Imparts a view of upcoming trends in mobility standards to better prepare a network
evolution plan for IP-based mobile networks

This book is part of the Networking Technology Series from Cisco Press®, which offers networking
professionals valuable information for constructing efficient networks, understanding new
technologies, and building successful careers.
