We discussed wireless LANs in chapter 14. Wireless technology is also used in cellular telephony and satellite networks. We discuss the former in this chapter as well as examples of channelization access methods (see Chapter 12). We also briefly discuss satellite networks, a technology that eventually will be linked to cellular telephony to access the Internet directly. | Chapter 16 Wireless WANs: Cellular Telephone and Satellite Networks Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

Figure IMT-2000 radio interfaces 16. 16-2 SATELLITE NETWORKS A satellite network is a combination of nodes, some of which are satellites, that provides communication from one point on the Earth to another. A node in the network can be a satellite, an Earth station, or an end-user terminal or telephone.
