"The most comprehensive literature on the subject of wireless IP describing both the core network and the access technology"


Abbas Jamalipour

The Wireless Mobile Internet: Architectures, Protocols, and Services

John Wiley & Sons, 482 pp, January 2003
ISBN: 0-470-84468-X

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.
 

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.

A self-contained analysis of features, practical problems, performance enhancements, and future applications of Low Earth Orbital Satellites

 

Low Earth Orbital Satellites for Personal Communication Networks
 
 

Abbas Jamalipour, 1998, 294 pp
 
 

Artech House Publishers, ISBN: 0-89006-955-7

Although Low Earth Orbital (LEO) satellites are the most promising candidates for establishing Personal Communications Networks (PCNs) on a global basis, their usage is also problematic. This new book provides the first comprehensive analysis of one of the hottest topics in communications systems today-the application of LEO satellites in PCNs. Dedicated to studying LEO satellite systems, the book describes the characteristic design features, discusses the issues to be considered during the design of LEO satellite communications networks, and presents analytical frameworks for evaluating their performance. It also explains major problems relating to employing the LEO satellites in a global PCN-both for today's and tomorrow's applications.

The book's broad coverage, including new research viewpoints, necessary tools, and fundamental analysis techniques, will enable you to:

This comprehensive book is a valuable reference for electrical engineers involved in a wide range of activities, including the design of mobile satellite systems, LEO satellite systems, and terrestrial cellular systems. It offers graduate students of electrical and communications engineering a complete overview not found in any other textbook. Much of the book's analyses and proposed techniques are also applicable to other mobile communications systems such as terrestrial cellular systems.

    This book is an organized and edited work of enabling technologies for the applications and services needed for future wireless networks. Its focus is the defining architectures, services and applications, with coverage of all layers, i.e., from the physical layer to the information handling layers of the network. The new wireless network architectures are geared specifically for enabling mobility and location-enhanced applications.

    Presented first are tutorials on new network architectures, including a discussion of "infostations", the role of satellites in broadband wireless access, and the "infocity" concept. The next three chapters present material that describes the state-of-the-art in wireless geolocation systems (including "assisted GPS"), alternatives for wireless geolocation, and empirical data on wireless geolocation capabilities. The first of the last two chapters demonstrates the use of location information in next generation wireless networks, with coverage of real-time geolocation measurements in mobile connectivity. The final chapter portrays the creation of a "killer application" in wireless networks. Leading researchers in the field have contributed to this volume.
