Wireless and Mobile Data Networks

Wireless and Mobile Data Networks Book Description

Connecting to the Future of Wireless Data Technologies

Presenting complex subjects without getting into advanced mathematics, "Wireless and Mobile Data Networks" gives students and professionals a comprehensive overview of major wireless network architectures and standards.

The opening chapters introduce wireless data network types, architectures, and wireless local area network (WLAN) components. The author follows with physical and medium access control layers of WLANs, mobile IP, and session initiation protocol (SIP); then expands on other relevant topics, such as wide area wireless data networks, security in wireless data networks, routing in ad hoc network, and wireless personal area networks (WPAN); followed by the wireless metropolitan area networks (MANs).

This up-to-the-minute and in-depth coverage of how key standards and protocols work includes: Wireless LAN architectures, such as IEEE 802.11 Wireless PAN architectures, such as Bluetooth (IEEE 802.15.1), IEEE 802.15.3/3a (high data rate and UWB-based PANs), and IEEE 802.15.4 (low power, low data rate PANs) Wireless broadband access, such as IEEE 802.16/16a Comparisons between architectures, such as IEEE Wireless MANs (IEEE 802.16 and 802.16a) compared to the European Union approaches (HIPERACCESS and HIPERMAN) 3G cellular standards, including CDMA2000(R) and W-CDMA Ad hoc networks Security in wireless data networks

"Wireless and Mobile Data Networks" is both an up-to-date reference for IT professionals and a comprehensive textbook for advanced communications and computer science students.
Wireless and Mobile Data Networks provides a single point of knowledge about wireless data technologies, including:
* Comprehensive easy-to understand resource on wireless data technologies
* Includes wireless media, data transmission via cellular networks, and network security
* Provides a single point of knowledge about wireless data
* Focuses on wireless data networks, wireless channels, wireless local networks, wide area cellular networks and wireless network security
