The Wireless Mobile Internet: Architectures, Protocols and Services

The book provides state of the art information on 3G wireless networks and beyond, including trends in wireless telecommunications, standardization activities, global network harmonization, and the allIP core network.  It is unique in its emphasis on implementing the mobile Internet rather than just describing the theoretical aspects of the technologies involved. There is an emphasis on practicality and it covers service provision issues such as QoS, location management, traffic management and mobility issues; and how current and future technologies may be integrated (eg. IP, ATM, & satellite).  The author carefully explains how broadband wireless technologies may be integrated with emerging broadband wireless access networks (BWANs) and gives an overall picture of the requirements for implementing the mobile Interent over heterogeneous networks.
