The book draws upon the insights and performed research work of leading experts in the field. Topics of discussion are related but not limited to spectrum-efficient radio interface technologies, enabling technologies for reconfigurability, wireless sensor networks, cognitive networks, coherent wireless transmission, algorithmic design, middleware for novel services and applications. The material has been edited to provide a vision for the future of mobile and wireless, towards a dynamic communication system that breaks down the barriers between communications ...

Ignited by the mobile phone's huge success at the end of last century, the demand for wireless services is constantly growing. To face this demand, wireless systems have been and are deployed at a large scale. These include mobility-oriented technologies such as GPRS, CDMA or UMTS, and Local Area Network-oriented technologies such as WiFi. WiMAX Networks covers aspects of WiMAX quality of service (QoS), security, mobility, radio resource management, multiple input multiple output antenna, planning, cost/revenue optimization, physical layer, medium access control (MAC) layer, network layer, and so on....

An exploration of the present and future trends of WLANs and WPANs. It examines the path that these infrastructures are following from a perspective of synergies with 3G systems, and how they will pave the way for future 4G systems. The authors present an overview of 3G networks and standards, and discuss intraworking and handover mechanisms between WLANs and WPANs when they support the TCP/IP stack. Several critical issues are explored in depth, including IP routing and mobility, the ad hoc concept, IEEE 802.11 and the HIPERLAN/2 standards, PHY and MAC layers for the main WLAN specifications, the TCP-UDP/IP protocol stack, and 802.11b over TCP/IP....

A guide to the technology details you need to know to prepare yourself and your organization for tomorrow's world of wireless multimedia. It includes in-depth discussions on topics in this area, including AAA, multiple access protocols, IPv6 and adaptive technologies. Such resource management strategies as power control, user admission techniques, and congestion control are explained....
