Présentation :
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 references
Providing 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.
