The continuing growth of wireless networks is being driven by ease of installation, flexibility and mobility, offering gains in efficiency, accuracy and lower business costs. This fresh perspective from two experts in the field provides professionals with a practical approach to design implementation, evaluation and problem-solving, which underscores its uniqueness as a hands-on guide to next generation wireless communications systems. The book offers practitioners a wealth of information on WLAN (wireless local area network) implementation, deployment and results. Key topics include: IP networking for wireless; wireless networking and Internet access standards; changes in the IEEE 802.11 standard; system design and implementation; and performance analysis.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Quite insightful and thorough, but could be better,
By
This review is from: WLAN Systems & Wireless IP for Next Generation Communications (Hardcover)
After finished reading the book, I felt that I have learned quite a lot about wireless LAN and wirelss IP system. PHY & MAC designs for 802.11 and HIPERLAN, some ideas about QoS and a bit of security are well discussed in this book. I would say that this is the book you want to get if you really want to learn more about decisions behind some important design parameters of the existing wireless LAN standards. Mostly, the book focuses on 802.11b, but 802.11a and HIPERLAN/2 are covered in a pretty good depth. Well, the hi-speed wireless lan and wireless atm book by Benny Bing is also recommended, but this book (by Prasad) provides more recent information, plus it is very readable.I would give this book five stars if this book were better written. Sometimes the content just repeats itself too many times. Also, some abbreviations are not listed in the back, and this gave me some hard time figuring out their meanings. And if you take into account its high price, I would say that I am quite reasonable in giving this book four stars. :) Warning: I would say that the section regarding TCP performance of wireless LAN/IP in this book is NOT well treated at all. The readers who are interested in this issue could go reading papers from IEEEXplore. There are few good ones such as that of Randy Katz and his advisees from UC Berkeley. In general, this book is a good for those who want to get a firm ground on design aspects of wireless LAN. It provides you with many interesting ideas. Good job!
