Description
Over the past decade, the world has witnessed an explosion in the development and deployment of new wireless network technologies. From
cellular mobile telephony to the ubiquitous “WiFi” networks in coffee-shops and airports, to the emerging WiMAX wireless broadband access
networks, the menu of wireless access systems has become so comprehensive that wireline access to user devices may soon become a relic
of the past. Wireless Networking serves as a one-stop view of cellular, WiFi, and WiMAX networks, as well as the emerging wireless ad
hoc and sensor networks. Rather than provide descriptive accounts of these technologies and standards, the book emphasizes conceptual
perspectives on the modeling, analysis, design and optimization of such networks. Furthermore, the authors present wireless networking
within the unifying framework of resource allocation, using simple abstractions of the underlying physical wireless communication. In
short, Wireless Networking is an in-depth, exhaustive, and invaluable asset to anyone working in this rapidly evolving field.
