Mobile Telecommunications Protocols For Data Networks

Mobile users are demanding fast and efficient ubiquitous connectivity supporting data applications. This connectivity has to be provided by various different networks and protocols which guarantee that mobile networks function efficiently, performing routing and handoff for mobile users. Hac proposes a comprehensive design for mobile communications including mobile agents, access networks, application protocols, ubiquitous connectivity, routing, and handoff. It covers the entire spectrum of lower and upper layer protocols to evaluate and design modern mobile telecommunications systems. Furthermore, the aspects of modern mobile telecommunications for applications, networking, and transmission are described. For mobile users and data applications these are new networking and communications solutions, particularly for the local area network environment. * Describes the recent advances in mobile telecommunications, their protocols and management * Covers hot topics such as mobile agents, access networks, wireless applications protocols, wireless LANs, architecture, routing and handoff * Introduces and analyses architecture and design issues in mobile communications and networks * Includes a section of questions/problems/answers after each chapter The book is written as a practical, easily accessible tutorial with many figures and examples of existing protocols and architectures making it essential reading for engineers, system engineers, researchers, managers, senior & graduate students.

Das Buch erklärt die grundlegenden Prinzipien paketvermittelter Netzwerke und den Schichtenaufbau der Protokolle. Sie finden hier Erläuterungen zu den vielen Begriffen und Akronymen, denen Sie auf dem Gebiet der modernen IP-Netzwerke begegnen. - behandelt einen Großteil der Probleme, mit denen Netzwerkdesigner und -betreiber konfrontiert werden: Netzwerkarchitektur und -topologie, Netzwerkzugriff, Protokollwahl, Routingprinzipien, Redundanz, Sicherheit, Firewalls, verteilte Anwendungen, Netzwerkdienste, Quality of Service usw. - ist so konzipiert, dass der Leser einzelne Themen unabhängig von den anderen erarbeiten kann - enthält ausführliche Anhänge (einschließlich Glossar) zu Protokollfeldnamen und -formaten sowie zu RFCs (Internetspezifikationen), die sich hervorragend als Nachschlagewerk für den Alltag verwenden lassen

What is an 'all-IP' network? What difference will IP networking make to 3G services? Third Generation (3G) mobile offers access to broadband multimedia services - and in the future most of these, even voice and video, will be IP-based. However 3G networks are not based on IP technologies, rather they are an evolution from existing 2G networks. Much work needs to be done to IP QoS and mobility protocols and architectures for them to be able to provide the functionality 3G requires. IP for 3G gives a comprehensive overview of 3G networking functionality and examines how IP protocols can be developed to provide some of the basic building blocks of a mobile system (mobility, QoS and call control) Features: * Clear explanation of how 3G works at the network level. * Review of IP protocol and architectural principles. * Extensive review, classification and analysis of IP mobility protocols - macro and micro- including IPv6. * Analysis of IP QoS protocols and proposed solutions for mobile networks. * Tutorial on SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) and how SIP can be used for multimedia session control. * Description of latest UMTS developments - including Release 5. * Discussion of 4G networks - what does 4G mean? IP for 3G will appeal to mobile telecommunications and network engineers who want to know about future developments as well as system designers and developers. Students and academics on postgraduate courses related to telecommunications, especially 3G networking or IP protocols, will find this text ideal supplementary reading, only assuming a general knowledge of GSM and general networking principles.

The exponential increase in mobile device users and high-bandwidth applications has pushed the current 3G and 4G wireless networks to their capacity. Moreover, it is predicted that mobile data traffic will continue to grow by over 300 percent by 2017. To handle this spectacular growth, the development of improved wireless networks for the future ha

The purpose of designing this book is to discuss and analyze security protocols available for communication. Objective is to discuss protocols across all layers of TCP/IP stack and also to discuss protocols independent to the stack. Authors will be aiming to identify the best set of security protocols for the similar applications and will also be identifying the drawbacks of existing protocols. The authors will be also suggesting new protocols if any.

In leicht verständlichem Stil erläutern die Autoren dieses Buches Anforderungen an Multiple-Access-Protokolle für den Mobilfunk. Zu Beginn werden zellulare Kommunikationssysteme der 2. und 3. Generation eingeführt. Ausführlich beschrieben werden dann MA-Protokolle für paketorientierte zellulare Systeme. Ein großer Teil der vorgestellten Resultate stammt aus eigenen Forschungsarbeiten der Autoren, u.a. zur Verbesserung der Protokolle und zur Modellierung der physikalischen OSI-Schicht.

This work provides access to technical data for hundreds of protocols, even if you're not sure what you are looking for. The book is organized by platform, protocol suite and alphabetically to help you find what you're looking for.
