Abstract

From the Publisher:Integrating QoS in wireless multimedia network designDelivering QoS in WLANs, WPANs, WMANs, cellular, and satellite networksCovers every leading current and emerging wireless network standardIntegrate QoS into virtually any multimedia wireless networkFrom entertainment to telephony, emerging wireless systems will make possible a new generation of wireless multimedia applications. To satisfy users, network designers and developers must integrate end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) support throughout all their underlying networks: WANs, WLANs, WPANs, and "last-mile" WLL or satellite distribution systems. However, wireless network standards typically focus on signaling, leaving crucial QoS issues to implementers. Multimedia Wireless Networks is the first book to help network professionals systematically address QoS in today's most important wireless networks -- and tomorrow's. Why users' wireless multimedia performance requirements will require extensive QoS supportThe fundamentals of QoS -- and how they drive network designWLAN standards from the multimedia network designer's viewpoint: IEEE 802.11, HiperLAN, and HomeRFWireless MANs: introducing the new 802.16 WirelessMAN standardIntegrating QoS into IEEE 802.15 and Bluetooth wireless personal area networksQoS in current and emerging cellular and satellite networks
