Ebook: Control and Quality in Computer and Wireless Networks

Wireless Ad hoc and Sensor Networks: Protocols, Performance, and Control addresses the basic theory, architectures, and technologies that are necessary to implement quality of service (QoS) control in wired and wireless networks. This book provides understanding of technical concepts related to computer network and wireless Internet control protocols as well as those specific to wired, cellular, wireless ad hoc, and sensor networks. With an overview of existing QoS methods, the text describes recent advances with practical approaches for implementation in high-speed networks. Coverage also includes underlying QoS techniques developed through Lyapunov-based design with simulation examples and proofs.
