Riassunto

Pahlavan (wireless network studies, Worcester Polytechnic Institute) and Krishnamurthy (information science and telecommunications, University of Pittsburgh) provide a systems approach to building wireless networks. They articulate the underlying principles, commonalties, differences, and specific implementation issues associated with most of the common wireless systems. Particular attention is paid to the principles of air-interface design, the principles of wireless network operation, wireless wans, and local broadband and ad hoc networks. Detailed examples illustrate major points. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Dalla quarta di copertina

A unified foundation for understanding and building any wireless network.

• A true systems approach to wireless networking
• Air interference design and network operation
• Planning, mobility management, radio resources, power management, and security
• 3G, WLANs, HIPERLAN, WATM, Bluetooth, WPAN, OFDM, UWB, wireless geolocation, and more

This is the first book to present a unified common foundation for understanding and building any contemporary wireless network, voice or data―from PCS to wireless LANs, Bluetooth to IMT-2000 3G. Using extensive practical examples, Kaveh Pahlavan and Prashant Krishnamurthy present a true systems approach, illuminating the principles, commonalities, key differences, and specific implementation issues associated with virtually every leading wireless system. Coverage includes:

• Air interference design: wireless medium characteristics, media access, and an exceptionally thorough discussion of physical layer issues
• Wireless network operation: planning, mobility management, radio resources, power management, and security
• Implementation of cellular telephone and mobile data networks based on CDMA, TDMA, and GSM
• Key wideband local access technologies: IEEE 802.11 WLANs, HIPERLAN, and connection-based voice-oriented WATM
• Emerging OFDM and Ultrawideband (UWB) technologies
• Ad hoc networking, Bluetooth, and WPAN
• Wireless geolocation and indoor positioning techniques and systems
• The most detailed discussions of channel characteristics and deployment tools available in any book

Whether you're an electrical engineer, telecommunications/networking specialist, or software professional, Principles of Wireless Networks brings together the insights and techniques you need to begin building any wireless system.
