The Nile on eBay   Handbook of Wireless Networks and Mobile Computing by Ivan Stojmenovic

This book offers comprehensive coverage of wireless networks and mobile computing with an emphasis on computer science and system considerations rather than devices. It offers detailed, practical discussion of topics such as cellular networks, channel assignment, queuing, power optimization, and more.

FORMATHardcover LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

The huge and growing demand for wireless communication systems has spurred a massive effort on the parts of the computer science and electrical engineering communities to formulate ever-more efficient protocols and algorithms. Written by a respected figure in the field, Handbook of Wireless Networks and Mobile Computing is the first book to cover the subject from a computer scientist's perspective. It provides detailed practical coverage of an array of key topics, including cellular networks, channel assignment, queuing, routing, power optimization, and much more.

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.
