Next Generation Wireless Networks: Protocols, Architectures, Standards, Mobility and Performance

So far, rapid progress in wireless networking and mobile computing has made possible for mobile users to benefit from disparate wireless systems, such as WPAN, WLAN, WMAN and WWAN. On the other hand, next generation wireless networks are expected to integrate existing wireless systems within its all-IP-based infrastructure while supporting mobility among heterogeneous radio access technologies. The book describes protocols, architectures, standards mobility and performance for next generation wireless system.
