Discussing the design, performance and implementation of access protocols, this text emphasizes how such protocols can efficiently support disparate classes of multimedia traffic. These protocols are deployed or experimented in various broadband wireless environments such as wireless ATM, satellite networks, mobile cellular and personal communication systems, wireless local loops, wireless local area networks, and others. Besides a comprehensive introduction and survey to the evolution of access protocols, other topics covered include: connection control and QoS provisioning; traffic load balancing techniques; developments in advanced CDMA/TDMA/OFDM systems; international standardization efforts (for example 3G, IMT 2000); emerging broadband wireless access (for example wireless ATM, satellite ATM, high-speed wireless LANs); the complete design, performance analysis, simulation and protocol verification of a generalized broadband multiple access protocol. While engineering aspects are discussed, the emphasis is on the physical understanding of access protocols, from basic proposals to the latest innovations.

Wireless LANs have become mainstream over the last few years. What started out as cable replacement for static desktops in indoor networks has been extended to fully mobile broadband applications involving moving vehicles, high-speed trains, and even airplanes. This book is designed to appeal to a broad audience with different levels of technical background and can be used in a variety of ways: as a first course on wireless LANs, as a graduate-level textbook, or simply as a professional reference guide. It describes the key practical considerations when deploying wireless LANs and equips the reader with a solid understanding of the emerging technologies. The book comprises 38 high-quality contributions from industry and academia and covers a broad range of important topics related to 802.11 networks, including quality of service, security, high throughput systems, mesh networking, 802.11/cellular interworking, coexistence, cognitive radio resource management, range and capacity evaluation, hardware and antenna design, hotspots, new applications, ultra-wideband, and public wireless broadband.

The joint conference, ICWLHN 2002 and ICN 2002, covers a wide variety of technical sessions covering all aspects of networking technology. It features some of the world's most dynamic presenters, including leading experts such as Norman Abramson (inventor of the first access protocol - the ALOHA protocol) and Daniel Awduche (pioneer of the MPLambdaS concept, now referred to as GMPLS). The proceedings for this joint conference is accessible to engineers, practitioners, scientists, as well as industry professionals from manufacturers to service providers.
