From the Publisher: The wireless mobile Internet is not just an extension of the Internet into the mobile environment - giving users access to Internet services while they are on the move. It is about integrating the Internet and other telecommunications technologies into a single system that delivers all the communications services that human beings require. The Wireless Mobile Internet - Architectures, Protocols, and Services is the first complete reference on the wireless Internet. It elegantly bridges the literary gap that exists between cellular wireless and computer communications. The author summarises the relevant standards activities (including the current status of wireless IP), provides updates on state-of-the-art technologies and protocols, describes various network models in detail and suggests specific techniques for implementing services. Key features include: A comprehensive description of the core network and access technologies of 2G and 3G cellular systems, as well as related standards. A complete overview of all existing wireless Internet initiatives such as HSCSD, CDPD, WAP and i-mode. A thorough treatment of all the essential technical requirements of a mobile network: QoS, traffic modelling and management, mobility management, transport protocols and network protocols. Coverage of cutting-edge technologies such as cellular, wLAN, and satellite through to wireless IP. More than 250 diagrams illustrating key concepts. A forward look at the crucial features of future mobile network architectures. This easy-to-read reference text will prove essential reading for anyone seeking to bridge the gap between the Internet and Telecommunications disciplines, be they practising engineers, industrial or academic researchers or advanced level students.

Reviewer: Sajjad A. Khan
A state-of-the-art compilation of information on the fundamentals, advances, and emerging trends in the wireless mobile Internet (WMI) is presented in this book. It provides a comprehensive description of the architecture, protocols, and services of the wireless Internet (WI), as well as a discussion of the core network and access technologies of second and third generation cellular systems, their associated standards, and other technologies such as cellular and wireless local area networking (WLAN). Existing WI initiatives, such as high-speed circuit switched data (HSCSD), wireless application protocol (WAP), and I-mode are also covered. The text presents a detailed discussion of such complex issues as wireless networks, traffic modeling and management, and the future of satellites in wireless. Many diagrams and compilations of numerical and statistical data have been provided, from the authors own research work and from the work of others conducted at different labs. The book is divided into three major parts, which cover, respectively, wireless Internet, fundamental topics on the Internet, and advanced topics in wireless Internet protocol (WIP). The first part of the book mainly addresses wireless and cellular networks. Part 2 addresses fundamental issues in WIP, including quality of service in a mobile environment, traffic modeling and management for WIP, and transport and Internet protocols for WIP. Part 3 provides an overview of advanced topics in WIP, including Internet perspectives on WIP, mobile ad hoc networks, future challenges, and satellites in WIP. The first half of the book presents the what, how, and why of wireless design. Chapters 1 through 4 provide basic information about the mobile Internet, networks, and emerging trends. Good quality data is included, along with a number of relevant diagrams. The information on architecture is up-to-date and in-depth. There is also a comparison of universal mobile telecommunication systems (UMTS) to the global system for mobile communication (GSM) and general packet radio service (GPRS), which will provide the reader with a perspective on different technologies. Chapters 5 through 10 are mostly discussions of fundamental topics in wireless technology, including quality of service in a mobile environment, traffic modeling and management, and transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) in WIP. These chapters describe a number of mathematical models, based on the literature, that are used in different telecommunication systems. The author has done a great job of putting all the relevant information in some perspective, and of drawing conclusions for future wireless trends. The literature survey, summary, and conclusions at the end of each chapter appear to be highly relevant, and will be useful for further research on the topics presented. The last part of the book mostly addresses advanced topics, and discusses, in detail, future challenges and use of satellites in WIP. These chapters provide a very comprehensive discussion of wireless LANs and the globalization of the mobile Internet, along with a broad overview of packet data services, models, architecture, and so on. Chapter 12, specifically, provides a brief overview of mobile ad-hoc networks and future challenges. Data provided in graphical and tabular forms presents some scarce information, and provides a useful base for comparison and further research. Finally, chapter 13 provides a comprehensive overview of the role of satellites in future mobile and fixed IP networks. This chapter is technical in nature, and explains the role of this technology in future communication. At the end of each chapter, the author provides a section containing a summary and conclusion, as well as related references. According to the author, this book is written for a broad range of audiences, including, specifically, university students at the graduate level, research engineers, system developers, and telecommunication managers. Although the book provides some basic information on the wireless Internet, the main audience of this book is seasoned professionals and researchers. It will serve as a good reference for high-level and advance design concepts, since it gathers all wireless mobile Internet-related information into one book. The book also presents a lot of research data (specifically in chapters 6, 7 and 8), which may only be of interest to academic researchers in this field. Filling an information gap for this emerging technology, this book is one of the first complete references on the wireless Internet. The author has done a great job in compiling the information, while summarizing the state-of-the-art of various network models, standards, and protocols, and providing meanings and context for this scattered information. The author has also successfully provided a lot of quality information and guidelines for future directions of this evolving and growing technology. While there is a great deal of information here, the book lacks useful, practical case studies and descriptions of real-life projects. In conclusion, this book is an excellent addition to the literature on the wireless mobile Internet. It is a must-read for seasoned professionals, and also for those who are new to the subject. Invaluable insights and guidelines are detailed for every tier of architecture, protocols, and services. The book will be an excellent source of practical and academic knowledge for research workers and practitioners in Internet-related fields. It is well organized, well written, and full of useful references for further in-depth study on this topic. I strongly recommend the book to research engineers, developers, and other interested information technology workers. Online Computing Reviews Service
