Description:

"This book is one of the few devoted entirely to the design of telecommunications networks and the first to deal with the topic in sufficient depth to allow the reader to actually solve network design problems on a realistic scale. It begins by introducing the reader to the representation of networks as graphs and to the fundamentals of the analysis of performance in networks. It then presents the basic data structures and graph algorithms which form the foundation of more complex network design procedures. Next, it discusses the design of centralized networks, introducing actual network design problems in a relatively simple context. Finally, it treats problems in mesh network design,…
