Wireless Internet and Mobile Computing: Interoperability and Performance
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Sep 2007, Pages: 731
This book describes the technologies involved in all aspects of a large networking system and how the various devices can interact and communicate with each other. Using a bottom up approach the authors demonstrate how it is feasible, for instance, for a cellular device user to communicate, via the all-purpose TCP/IP protocols, with a wireless notebook computer user, traversing all the way through a base station in a cellular wireless network (e.g., GSM, CDMA), a public switched network (PSTN), the Internet, an intranet, a local area network (LAN), and a wireless LAN access point. The information bits, in traveling through this long path, are processed by numerous disparate communication technologies. The authors also describe the technologies involved in infrastructureless wireless networks. The focus of the book is on how these distinctive technologies can work together, through various adaptation methods. Two major motivating concepts throughout the book are Interoperability and Performance. This will be the first book to cut through all protocol stacks of a communication system and to describe how application needs affect the underlying physical layer and network layer design.
