Wireless Networking

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Most wireless networking books do not explain how to tackle practical internetworking challenges. This book addresses the gap in the field, providing practicing engineers with a comprehensive problem-solving guide to all existing and emerging wireless technologies with global wired networking potential.

---

This book focuses on providing a detailed and practical explanation of key existing and emerging wireless networking technologies and trends,while minimizing the amount of theoretical background information. The book also goes beyond simply presenting what the technology is, but also examines why the technology is the way it is, the history of its development, standardization, and deployment. The book also describes how each technology is used, what problems it was designed to solve, what problems it was not designed to solve., how it relates to other technologies in the marketplace, and internetworking challenges faced withing the context of the Internet, as well as providing deployment trends and standardization trends. Finally, this book decomposes evolving wireless technologies to identify key technical and usage trends in order to discuss the likely characteristics of future wireless networks.
