This book provides comprehensive coverage of mobile data networking and
mobile communications under a single cover for diverse audiences
including managers, practicing engineers, and students who need to
understand this industry. In the last two decades, many books have been
written on the subject of wireless communications and networking.
However, mobile data networking and mobile communications were not fully
addressed in a unified fashion. This book fills that gap in the
literature and is written to provide essentials of wireless
communications and wireless networking, including Wireless Personal Area
Networks (WPAN), Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), and Wireless Wide
Area Networks (WWAN). The first ten chapters of the book focus on the
fundamentals that are required to study mobile data networking and
mobile communications. Numerous solved examples have been included to
show applications of theoretical concepts. In addition, unsolved
problems are given at the end of each chapter for practice. (A solutions
manual will be available.)
After introducing fundamental concepts, the book focuses on mobile
networking aspects. Four chapters are devoted on the discussion of WPAN,
WLAN, WWAN, and internetworking between WLAN and WWAN. Remaining seven
chapters deal with other aspects of mobile communications such as
mobility management, security, cellular network planning, and 4G
systems. A unique feature of this book that is missing in most of the
available books on wireless communications and networking is a balance
between the theoretical and practical concepts. Moreover, this book can
be used to teach a one/two semester course in mobile data networking and
mobile communications to ECE and CS students.
