Robust Mobile Networking

Over the last few years, Local Area Networks have
been popular and successful at providing wireless
broadband services. However, mobile users are not
able to establish a seamless connection when moving
to other networks. In addition, they also share
frequencies with other electronic devices.
Therefore, the actual network throughput is far less
than theoretically maximum throughput. This book
provides an introduction to the IEEE 802.11 networks
and the design and implementation of MAC/PHY layer
protocols, which are robust and effective in
supporting mobility, maximum throughput, and QoS for
multimedia applications in real world environments.
It covers WLANs, ad hoc networks, vehicle-to-vehicle
networks, and multimedia ad hoc networks with an
implemented testbed. As you read this book, you
should have a clear understanding of the IEEE 802.11
system and learn techniques for designing and
implementing an advanced system for various types of
wireless networks and applications that use the IEEE
802.11 system.
