CDMA Capacity and Quality Optimization

Adam Rosenberg (Atlanta, GA) is an industrial mathematician who has built decision-support systems for telephone companies, airlines, railroads, automobile resellers, and hotels. Dr. Rosenberg was part of the Advanced Mobile Phone Service systems engineering group at Bell Laboratories. Later he worked for InterDigital Communications Corporation on broadband CDMA, where he did statistical capacity analysis of CDMA for wireless local loop. He holds a Ph.D. from Stanford in Operations Research, and an A.B. in mathematics from Princeton University. Sid Kemp (San Antonio, TX), is a leading expert in project management for information technology and telecommunications implementations. His company, Quality Technology and Instruction, provides a custom project management methodology to businesses, government agencies, and educational organizations. He has assisted Fortune 500 companies and government agencies in the deployment of new technology, and developing custom project management methodologies. Mr. Kemp has more than 15 years of experience in IT and telecommunications, and has authored 5 textbooks for use in courses and corporations. He has been teaching a seminar on Project Management for Information Technology for three years.
