IP-Based Next-Generation Wireless Networks: Systems,
Architectures, and Protocols by
Jyh-Cheng Chen, Tao Zhang ISBN:

2004

As wireless IP
networking technologies have become increasingly critical for
the telecommunica-tions industry, many standards organizations
have sought to define a global infrastructure for wireless
IP networks. This book is a practical
source of up-to-date information on the growing body of
specifications associated with wireless
IP network architectures, systems, and
protocols, with a focus on the network layer and
above.
In a clear,
understandable manner, the authors, both leading experts in
the field, provide a detailed description and comparison of
next-generation wireless networks, specifi-cally
IP-based wireless networks, and discuss
critical issues thatarise in their design.

Starting with a
historical look at wireless networks, the authors review the
evolution of public mobile services into the current wave of
mobile data services. They discuss the motivations for
IP-based wireless networks and provide an
overview of related architecture and standards activities,
particularly as defined by 3GPP &
3GPP2, the two most influential
organiza-tions in the field.

In addition to network architecture, the book
covers protocols in four major areas:
Signaling, Mobility,
Quality of Service (
QoS),
Security

Comprehensive and authoritative, IP-Based
Next-Generation Wireless Networks: Systems, Architectures
& Protocols is an invaluable reference for anyone
seeking the clarity and perspective often difficult to obtain
from standards specs.
