Résumé
In this book Jochen Schiller draws on extensive experience
to present an essential grounding in mobile communications,
explaining current developments in industry and research
and providing a detailed technical background to the area.
The book covers all of the important aspects of mobile and
wireless communications from the Internet to signals,
access protocols and cellular systems, all presented in a
clear and structured way, with a focus on the crucial area
of digital data transfer.
The early chapters give a concise overview of mobile
communications applications, history and market, and
provide a foundation in wireless communication, wireless
transmission and Medium Access Control. The book goes on to
devote a chapter to each of the 5 different groups of
wireless network technologies: telecommunications systems,
satellite systems, broadcast systems, wireless LAN and
wireless ATM. The final chapters on the network layer and
transport layer address problems and provide solutions
using well-known Internet protocols such as TCP/IP within a
mobile environment, concluding with a focus on WWW and
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP).
If you are a professional networking engineer or manager
wanting to know how mobility will affect applications,
security and networks, this book will be an invaluable
resource.
