The comprehensive guide to the current status and future potential of advanced wireless networks. 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. There is then a detailed analysis of crosslayer optimization, mobility and handoffs, adaptive resource management, ad hoc and sensor networks, security and active networks. Strong sections on network deployment, network management, wireless information theory and energy efficient networks follow. Finally, QoS management and internet economics issues are explored in depth. 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.
Wireless sensor networks promise an unprecedented fine-grained interface between the virtual and physical worlds. They are one of the most rapidly developing new information technologies, with applications in a wide range of fields including industrial process control, security and surveillance, environmental sensing, and structural health monitoring. This book is motivated by the urgent need to provide a comprehensive and organized survey of the field.Ideal for researchers and designers seeking to create new algorithms and protocols, and engineers implementing integrated solutions, it also contains many exercises and can be used by graduate students taking courses in Networks.
This book represents the best thinking and solutions to a myriad of contemporary issues in wireless networks. Coverage includes wireless LANs, multihop wireless networks, and sensor networks. Insightful guidance covers such issues as architecture, protocols, modeling, analysis, and solutions. The book also highlights economic issues, market trends, emerging, cutting-edge applications, and new paradigms, such as middleware for RFID, smart home design, and “on-demand business†in the context of pervasive computing.
THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO EPON Written by one of the authors of the IEEE802.3ah standard, this is the first book to fully explain the EPON architecture, analyze its performance, and annotate the standard.
