Wireless Communication and Network Application

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. The wireless communication medium has become a heterogeneous environment with overlapped coverage due to the co-existence of different cells (macro, micro, pico and femto), networks (cellular networks, wireless local areas networks and wireless metropolitan area networks) and technologies (radio frequency, device-to-device (D2D) and visible light communications (VLC)). In such a networking environment, MTs are equipped 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.
