Description
A complete wireless solution draws items from four categories of architectural components: information infrastructure, wireless networks, client devices and wireless applications. The first chapter of this book explains these architectural components. In the subsequent chapters the issues discussed include scarce wireless resource management, optimal admission of the calls, location and mobility management of the mobile hosts, mobile routing and tracking the mobile hosts, efficient power management, security and authentication, maintaining the quality of service of all the admitted applications, network management, and a typical mobile computing environment for the information infrastructure consisting of the back-end applications, databases, voice systems, e-mail systems, middleware, and other components needed to support a wireless solution. All the issues discussed are supported by illustrative workable solutions in infrastructure, mobile and ad hoc wireless networks. It helps readers overcome the hurdles that typically complicate various network architectures. It covers the entire wireless ecosystem, including wired and wireless infrastructure, client devices, and applications.
It explains all the key areas of the application layer, such as databases, voice systems, middleware, email, middleware, and security. It includes major aspects required for efficient network management and security. It offers essential information for software developers who are designing and implementing communication systems, such as telecommunication systems, multimedia services, network management applications, personal communication systems, client/server management information systems, WWW servers, avionics systems, and upper-layer communication protocols.
