The Wireless Mobile Internet: Architectures, Protocols and Services

Providing Internet services to mobile users has become the most significant topic within the telecommunications research community in the past few years. As a result several books have been published by the experts from the cellular communications world and researchers from the computer science field. While cellular books cover architecture and air interface of the second- and third-generation wireless systems, computer networks and Internet books overview some fundamentals and protocols on migrating the fix-IP into mobile environment. Other books that claimed to cover the both topics in the past, however, also failed to provide a complete literature on wireless IP, because of focusing on either access technology or network protocols.

The Wireless Mobile Internet - Architectures, Protocols, and Services elegantly bridges this gap and therefore provides the first complete literature for the wireless Internet both describing the standard activities and the current status of the wireless IP, as well as detailing network models and specific techniques. While some chapters in the Wireless Mobile Internet describe the standard activities and the current status of the wireless IP other chapters detail network models and specific techniques that usually approached by academic researchers.

• Comprehensive yet simple understanding of the wireless Internet through usage of more than 250 conceptual and numerical result figures
• Logical organization for customized use as a reference book on the state-of-the-art technology for wireless Internet, a text for fundamental components of the wireless Internet, standards, and a guideline for advanced research topics
• Provides an easy-to-read but complete reference for core network and access technology of 2G and 3G cellular systems as well as related standards
• Illustrates the main features of future mobile networks
• Offers a thorough literature on essentials for a mobile network: quality of service, traffic modelling and management, mobility management, transport protocols, and network protocols
• Uniquely covers all relevant telecommunication access and network technologies for wireless Internet from wireless LAN to satellite

Essential reading for researchers from industry and academia in the field of wireless cellular networks and Internet, practicing engineers who need a single text on the subject as well as senior level undergraduates and first-year postgraduates

在過去幾年中，為移動用戶提供互聯網服務已成為電信研究界最重要的話題。因此，來自蜂窩通信界的專家和計算機科學領域的研究人員已經出版了幾本書籍。雖然蜂窩通信的書籍涵蓋了第二代和第三代無線系統的架構和無線接口，而計算機網絡和互聯網的書籍則概述了將固定IP遷移到移動環境中的一些基礎知識和協議。然而，過去聲稱涵蓋這兩個主題的其他書籍也未能提供關於無線IP的完整文獻，因為它們要麼專注於接入技術，要麼專注於網絡協議。

《無線移動互聯網：架構、協議和服務》優雅地彌補了這一差距，因此提供了第一本完整的無線互聯網文獻，既描述了標準活動和無線IP的當前狀態，又詳細介紹了網絡模型和具體技術。《無線移動互聯網》的一些章節描述了無線IP的標準活動和當前狀態，其他章節則詳細介紹了通常由學術研究人員探討的網絡模型和具體技術。

- 透過使用超過250個概念和數值結果圖，全面而簡單地理解無線互聯網
- 邏輯組織，可作為無線互聯網最新技術的參考書、無線互聯網基礎組件的教材和高級研究主題的指南
- 提供易於閱讀但完整的2G和3G蜂窩系統的核心網絡和接入技術的參考資料，以及相關標準
- 介紹未來移動網絡的主要特點
- 提供關於移動網絡的基本文獻：服務質量、流量建模和管理、移動管理、傳輸協議和網絡協議
- 獨特地涵蓋了從無線局域網到衛星的所有相關電信接入和網絡技術

對於無線蜂窩網絡和互聯網領域的工業和學術研究人員來說，這是必讀的，也是需要一本關於這一主題的單一文獻的實踐工程師以及高年級本科生和一年級研究生的必讀書籍。
