Description
Book SynopsisThis book offers comprehensive coverage of wireless networks and mobile computing with an emphasis on computer science and system considerations rather than devices. It offers detailed, practical discussion of topics such as cellular networks, channel assignment, queuing, power optimization, and more.
Trade Review"Each of this handbook's 28 chapters features a self-contained compendium of the state-of-the-art or practice of a wireless or mobile networking research topic." (Choice, July 2002)
