| NOTAS: | "This book examines the emerging communications technology called Residential Broadband. While the term "residential" is in the book's title, the focus is also on the business sector. The major topic of the book is on the "local loop", that is, the link (communications channel) between a residential or business dwelling and a service provider, such as the telephone company, the cable TV operator, or an internet service provider. The subject matter of the book resolves around three major topics: (a) wiring or wireless schemes for the local loop, (b) coding and modulation techniques for the traffic, and (c) protocols to manage the bandwidth and control the access to/from the residential broadband system." |
