Handbook of Algorithms for Wireless Networking and Mobile Computing (Chapman & Hall/CRC Computer & Information Science Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In typical CRC fashion, this book offers a good summary of its field. There is an authoritative treatment of the key algorithms in wireless nets or for mobile computing. The book brings together the equivalent of centuries of person-years in research and development.
The methods in the book are basically state of the art. At least as far as publicly revealed methods are concerned.
The field is still undergoing active development. The book discusses how quality of service issues are currently handled. One area worthy of improvement.

Most of the available literature in wireless networking and mobile computing concentrates on the physical aspect of the subject, such as spectrum management and cell re-use. In most cases, a description of fundamental distributed algorithms that support mobile hosts in a wireless environment is either not included or is only briefly discussed.Handbook of Algorithms for Wireless Networking and Mobile Computing focuses on several aspects of mobile computing, particularly algorithmic methods and distributed computing with mobile communications capability. This volume provides the topics that are crucial for building the foundation for the design and construction of future generations of mobile and wireless networks, including cellular, wireless ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks. Following an analysis of fundamental algorithms and protocols, the book offers a basic overview of wireless technologies and networks and a discussion of the convergence of communication and computation. Other topics include issues related to mobility, with a focus on the creation of techniques that control associated uncertainties; aspects of QoS provisioning in wireless networks; a comparison of numerous wireless TCP proposals; a review of fundamental algorithms for Bluetooth wireless personal area networks (WPANs); and investigations of future voice and video access networks; and a review of potential applications of pervasive computing and mobile e-commerce.
