Wireless Networks and Mobile Computing

Wireless communication is one of the fastest growing industry segments today. Many types of wireless networks are now being used for applications such as personal communication, entertainment, rural and urban healthcare, smart home building, inventory control, and surveillance. This book introduces the basic concepts of wireless networks and mobile computing to give engineering students at the undergraduate/graduate level a solid background in the field. It also looks at the latest research and challenging problems in the field to serve as a reference for advanced-level researchers.

Wireless Networks and Mobile Computing begins with an introduction to the different types of wireless networks, including Wi-Fi, ZigBee, cellular mobile, ad hoc, cognitive radio, wireless mesh, and wireless sensor. Subsequent chapters address more advanced topics such as:

• Mobility, bandwidth, and node location management issues in mobile networks
• Message communication techniques and protocols in ad hoc networks
• Recent research and future direction of wireless local area networks (WLANs)
• Deployment of sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks (WSNs)
• Energy-efficient communication in wireless networks
• Security aspects of wireless communication

The book includes exercises at the end of every chapter to help give students a better insight into the topics presented. It includes a number of advanced-level exercises, which are research problems that may be taken up by researchers in the respective areas. This book provides a valuable reference for classroom study/teaching as well as for technology development and research in the relevant areas.

無線通訊是當今增長最快的行業之一。現在有許多類型的無線網路被用於個人通訊、娛樂、鄉村和城市醫療、智能家居建築、庫存控制和監視等應用。本書介紹了無線網路和移動計算的基本概念，為本科/研究生工程學生提供了堅實的背景知識。它還關注該領域的最新研究和具有挑戰性的問題，作為高級研究人員的參考。

《無線網路和移動計算》首先介紹了不同類型的無線網路，包括Wi-Fi、ZigBee、蜂窩移動、自組網、認知無線電、無線網狀和無線感測器。接下來的章節涉及更高級的主題，例如：

- 移動網路中的移動性、頻寬和節點位置管理問題
- 自組網中的消息通信技術和協議
- 無線區域網（WLAN）的最新研究和未來方向
- 無線感測器網絡（WSN）中的感測器節點部署
- 無線網路中的節能通信
- 無線通信的安全性方面

本書在每章結尾提供練習題，以幫助學生更深入地了解所介紹的主題。它還包含一些高級練習題，這些是研究問題，可以由相應領域的研究人員進行研究。本書為課堂學習/教學以及相關領域的技術發展和研究提供了有價值的參考資料。
