Book Description:
With the emergence of broadband wireless communication systems, new business opportunities have appeared for operators, ******* provides, and manufacturers.
Broadband wireless communications technologies promise the freedom of constant access to the Internet at high speeds, without the limitation of connection cables. Broadband Wireless Communications Business provides comprehensive coverage of the present status and future evolution of these technologies, giving vital practical cost and benefit advice on design, construction and implementation. The author focuses on the costs associated with network design and operation, examining resources, maintenance and billing considerations in terms of Quality of Service provisioning. The future of 4G is explained, with enhancing technologies, cellular design topologies and ad-hoc technologies all covered in-depth. This book will enable the reader to make key business decisions: how to evaluate a technology, which to use, how to combine several technologies to reach a target market, how to differentiate from competitors and how to take advantage of future possible enhancements.
Broadband Wireless Communications Business:
* Defines the unique technical features of the new broadband wireless communications systems and explains what these mean for operator and manufacturer businesses.
* Offers a complete guide to all current access technologies, associated standards, and duplex modes.
* Provides advice on key business cost and benefit issues.
* Addresses wireless technology from the point of view of numerous market sectors: public mobile systems, hot spot coverage, personal area networks, and multi-user shared usage of resources, etc.
This text is essential for decision makers and industry key players responsible for the design, development, implementation and management of wireless telecommunications systems. Researchers specializing in the field of wireless technology and graduate students on telecommunications courses will also find it an excellent guide to the topic.

Rating: 1
The book is cooking together information about WLAN, 802.11, 802.16, Bluetooth, 802.15, GPRS, UMTS and so forth. It gives a rudimentary overview of mostly the MAC of each standard (and sometimes also PHY and some higher layer protocols), especially with respect to available QoS mechanisms.
Unfortunately, the book only scratches on the surface of each standard. It fails to give the big picture, instead it provides a mosaic of gory details. Sometimes, the pieces selected for presentation seems to be randomly selecled.
The book describes “what” is in the standard (at least some pieces of it) but it fails to explain “why” things are like they are. The reason might be that the authors have not aquired a fundamental understanding of each of the standards presented. (It might be useful as a strange kind of manual, but not at all as a tutorial of any kind.)
Finally, the book needs editing. It is frustrating with chopped figures, strange font policies for headings, and so forth.
The book deserves a star because the last pages of Ch.2 and most of Ch. 3. provided a good overview of QoS that laid a basis for the rest of the book. Also, it must have been quite much work for the authors to gather together all this (incomplete pieces of) information from various standards.

Book Description:
The book, Protocols for High-Efficiency Wireless Networks, focuses on the air interface of mobile networks at different layers according to the OSI Reference Model. The authors provide an overview of several wireless communication systems including GPRS, 3G (in particular, W-CDMA and UTRA-TDD), HIPERLAN/2-type as well as mobile satellite systems. Then, a detailed analysis of radio resource management issues is carried out for these different cases. This book proposes suitable solutions for the efficient support of mixed traffics with variable bit-rate and busty characteristics guaranteeing suitable quality of service levels. Analytical tools for predicting the performance for each traffic class are also included. Finally, the impact of user mobility and channel errors on higher layer protocols is detailed, showing the possible alternative solutions. This work is an invaluable reference book for GPRS, 3G and satellite networks systems engineers, for researchers and advanced students working and studying in the field of mobile communications.

Book Description:
The past decade has seen many advances in physical layer wireless communication theory and their implementation in wireless systems. This textbook takes a unified view of the fundamentals of wireless communication and explains the web of concepts underpinning these advances at a level accessible to an audience with a basic background in probability and digital communication. Topics covered include MIMO (multi-input, multi-output) communication, space-time coding, opportunistic communication, OFDM and CDMA. The concepts are illustrated using many examples from real wireless systems such as GSM, IS-95 (CDMA), IS-856 (1 x EV-DO), Flash OFDM and UWB (ultra-wideband). Particular emphasis is placed on the interplay between concepts and their implementation in real systems. An abundant supply of exercises and figures reinforce the material in the text. This book is intended for use on graduate courses in electrical and computer engineering and will also be of great interest to practising engineers.
