IP-based Next-generation Wireless Networks: Systems, Architectures and Protocols - Tapa dura

"...a good addition to the reference shelf for wireless network architecture. Its appearance is very timely, and workers in this area of wireless IP networks will profit by its study." (Computing Reviews.com, April 26, 2004) "This work is appropriate for anyone with a solid understanding of traditional computer networking concepts, including IT professionals, graduate and undergraduate students." (E-STREAMS, August 2004) "The book captures the current state of affairs with the respect to protocols related to or influenced by wireless technologies." (IEEE Network, May/June 2004)

* An ideal starting point for anyone wanting to learn about next generation wireless networks* Gives important insights into the design of wireless IP networks* Illustrates the standards and network architectures defined by leading standards bodies (including MWIF, 3GPP and 3GPP2)* Discusses protocols in four key areas: signaling, mobility, quality of service, and security* The authors have a good deal of experience in this field, and have many patents pending in the area of wireless networking
