Produktbeschreibung

This text provides systematic coverage of the latest global research results in the field of advanced wireless technology networks at a time when the industry is paving the way for 4G. The author adopts a logical approach, beginning each chapter with an introduction to the topic in question, before moving on to more complex ideas for system analysis. The discussion incorporates the physical layer, multiple access, the adaptive link layer, the adaptive Media Access Control Layer (MAC), teletraffic modeling and the adaptive Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) layer. The scope is thus wide-ranging, yet detailed and amply illustrated with real-life examples. It is a timely resource for those interested in understanding the current approaches and evolving directions for wireless networking.

The major expectation from the fourth generation (4G) of wireless communication networks is to be able to handle much higher data rates, allowing users to seamlessly reconnect to different networks even within the same session. Advanced Wireless Networks gives readers a comprehensive integral presentation of the main issues in 4G wireless networks, showing the wide scope and inter-relation between different elements of the network.This book adopts a logical approach, beginning each chapter with introductory material, before proceeding to more advanced topics and tools for system analysis. Its presentation of theory and practice makes it ideal for readers working with the technology, or those in the midst of researching the topic. Covers mobile, WLAN, sensor, ad hoc, bio-inspired and cognitive networks as well as discussing cross-layer optimisation, adaptability and reconfigurability Includes hot topics such as network management, mobility and hand-offs, adaptive resource management, QoS, and solutions for achieving energy efficient wireless networks Discusses security issues, an essential element of working with wireless networks Supports the advanced university and training courses in the field and includes an extensive list of referencesProviding comprehensive coverage of the current status of wireless networks and their future, this book is a vital source of information for those involved in the research and development of mobile communications, as well as the industry players using and selling this technology.In highlighted box:Companion website features three appendices: Components of CRE, Introduction to Medium Access Control and Elements of Queueing Theory
