Multiaccess, Mobility and Teletraffic for Wireless Communications: Volume 3

To ensure proper network design and engineering, designers of wireless networks need to understand and address issues such as radio propagation, antenna, interface management, multi-access, mobility, teletraffic, signalling and network protocols. In fact, not only do these issues need to be understood and addressed, their interdependence and interactions also deserve to be examined closely. This text provides a snapshot of the current state-of-the-art approaches to dealing with the broad range of issues facing the wireless network designer in the late 1990s. Included are papers dealing with high-speed wireless networks such as wireless ATM and GSM with high-speed data services. Some of the specific issues dealt with are radio design, interference management, resource allocation and multi-access protocol. There are also papers dealing with the problem of radio spectral efficiency and how it can be maximized. The book should be of interest to researchers, students and professionals working in the area of wireless communication and mobile computing.
