From the Back Cover

Up-to-date coverage of wireless network solutions through computer science techniques

Unlike most books, Handbook of Wireless Networks and Mobile Computing approaches solutions for wireless networks from a computer science perspective, instead of from an engineering standpoint. This allows practitioners and researchers to explore connections between computer science techniques and develop solutions to problems in wireless networks. This book's treatment consists of reviews of various algorithms and protocols in five main research areas: multiple access schemes, cellular networks, data communication, multi-hop networks, and mobile computing.

Bringing together contributions from an international group of authors, this book presents a host of real-world applications balanced with theory and relevant background material. In addition, each chapter provides summaries of current technologies and trends, as well as direction for further reading. Some covered topics include:

? Security and fraud detection problems

? Design of Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) networks

? Integration of voice and data traffic

? Design issues and other challenges surrounding indoor wireless networks

Handbook of Wireless Networks and Mobile Computing is the superior reference for practicing engineers in communications and mobile computing. Graduate students and researchers in departments of electrical engineering and computer science will also find this book's comprehensive material invaluable.
