This explanative book comprehensively uncovers the operation of SDH using the functional/atomic modelling techniques. Using a broad range of figures and tables the book addresses the topic thoroughly, from an 'Introduction to functional modelling' through to 'Generic framing procedure functions' in 17 highly detailed chapters.
Written by a leading authority in the area this novel approach to SDH through functional modelling:
* Comprehensively explains the SONET/SDH standard using functional modelling as opposed to the formal language used in the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standard T1.105.
* Uses functional modelling to describe systems in the definition and implementation phase of the SDH standard.
* Represents a fresh approach to modelling and explains transport networking

This book represents a fresh approach to modelling and explains transport networking by providing an introduction to SONET/SDH technology. It also offers an excellent compromise between a practical guide and reference text for practicing telecommunication engineers, manufacturer engineers, operator network engineers, researchers and advanced users needing to understand the functional modelling techniques.
