AMR and EDGE (Enhanced Data GSM Environment), and such developments have now positioned GERAN (GSM\/EDGE Radio Access Network) as a full 3G radio standard.  The radio network performance and capabilities of GSM, GPRS, AMR and EDGE solutions are studied in-depth by using revealing simulations and field trials.  \u003cp\u003eCellular operators must now roll out new 3G technologies capable of delivering wireless Internet based multimedia services in a competitive and cost-effective way and this volume, divided into three parts, helps to explain how:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
