Book Description

ISBN-10: 0470850566 | ISBN-13: 978-0470850565 | Publication Date: November 15, 2002 | Edition: 1

Mobile users are demanding fast and efficient ubiquitous connectivity supporting data applications. This connectivity has to be provided by various different networks and protocols which guarantee that mobile networks function efficiently, performing routing and handoff for mobile users.

Hac proposes a comprehensive design for mobile communications including mobile agents, access networks, application protocols, ubiquitous connectivity, routing, and handoff. It covers the entire spectrum of lower and upper layer protocols to evaluate and design modern mobile telecommunications systems. Furthermore, the aspects of modern mobile telecommunications for applications, networking, and transmission are described.

For mobile users and data applications these are new networking and communications solutions, particularly for the local area network environment.
* Describes the recent advances in mobile telecommunications, their protocols and management
* Covers hot topics such as mobile agents, access networks, wireless applications protocols, wireless LANs, architecture, routing and handoff
* Introduces and analyses architecture and design issues in mobile communications and networks
* Includes a section of questions/problems/answers after each chapter
The book is written as a practical, easily accessible tutorial with many figures and examples of existing protocols and architectures making it essential reading for engineers, system engineers, researchers, managers, senior & graduate students.

Review

“...a necessary buy for all academic libraries supporting programs in communications; some corporate libraries will also benefit from adding this work to their core collections.” (E-Streams, Vol. 7, No. 3)

From the Back Cover

Technology has changed our lives and the way we see the world. The growing use of mobile technologies in phones, computers and everyday applications has fuelled the demand for efficient connectivity, irrespective of the location of the device. This connectivity has to be provided by various different networks and protocols that guarantee the smooth functioning of mobile networks.

Mobile Telecommunications Protocols for Data Networks proposes a comprehensive methodology for mobile communications. The author covers the entire spectrum of lower and upper layer protocols for the design and evaluation of modern mobile telecommunications systems, including related aspects of applications, networking, and transmission.

Presenting a real applications-oriented approach to solving networking problems, this excellent tutorial features:
* recent advances in mobile telecommunications, their protocols and management
* analysis of architecture and design issues in mobile communications and networks
* coverage of mobile agents, access networks, wireless Local Area Networks, XML, RDF, and CC/PP, Routing Protocols for Mobile and Wireless Networks & handoff
* wireless applications: wireless protocols and network architecture
* many figures and examples of existing protocols and architectures

System design engineers and network engineers involved in software design, system architecture & engineering and network performance will find Mobile Telecommunications Protocols for Data Networks an invaluable reference. Being a descriptive tutorial with numerous illustrations, it will appeal to senior and graduate students in the field of communications.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wireless Telco without the sales pitch, December 12, 2002

This review is from: Mobile Telecommunications Protocols for Data Networks (Hardcover)

A well written book that actually describes a wide variety of wireless technologies without hiding behind overly complex explainations, formulas, and archane diagrams. G3 wireless telephony was actually explained in detail, without resorting to quoting marketing droids and droning on and on about how it will change our lives. This book actually talks about what the technology is and then explains it in a version of english I can actually understand....instead of marketspeak..
