Ebook: Wireless Information Networks: Architecture, Resource Management, and Mobile Data

In April 1995, WINLAB (the Wireless Infonnation Network Lab­ oratory at Rutgers University) hosted the Fifth WINLAB Workshop on Third Generation Wireless Infonnation Networks. This workshop brings together a select group of experts interested in the future of Personal Communications, Mobile Computing and other services supported by wireless communications. As a sequel to Kluwer books on previous WINLAB workshops,l this volume assembles written versions of presentations of the Fifth Workshop. The last few years have been exciting for the field of wireless communications. The second generation systems that have absorbed our attention during those years are becoming commercial realities. Everyone is looking forward to PCS, especially in light of the recent auctions. We see an explosion of technical alternatives for meeting the demand for wireless communications. We also have applications in search of the best technologies rather than the reverse. The papers included provide new insights into many of the issues needing resolution for the successful introduction of the new services by the end of the decade. The authors represent views from both industry and universities from a number of nations. They are grouped into four main categories: Architecture, Radio Resource Management, Access, and Mobile Data, Mobile Networks.

Wireless Information Networks: Architecture, Resource Management, andMobile Data provides new insights into many of the issues that need resolution for the successful introduction of new wireless communication services by the end of the decade. Views are represented from industry and universities from a number of nations, presenting a global perspective. The book contains four main sections: Architecture, Radio Resource Management, Access, Mobile Data/Mobile Networks.
The section on Architecture discusses fundamental issues concerned with wireless services that are provided to mobile users and which must use the fixed network, including the manner in which broadband services (with diverse requirements) will be accommodated by the wireless link, and how they will be integrated with ATM. The Radio Resource Management section is concerned with channel assignment, power control, handoff and admission control. Further understanding of each of these issues is needed. Furthermore, their optimum combination is not well understood at all: valuable insights into these issues are provided. The Access section provides new studies on evaluating and improving access methods. Everyone is aware of the importance of access from the recent and ongoing debate between TDMA and CDMA. Mobility provides entirely new challenges for technologists, which are explored in the section on Mobile Data/Mobile Networks. Information storage and access for mobile users need new solutions from database and processing viewpoints. Providing data services with stringent performance requirements over hostile radio environments, and to and from mobile users, presents formidable challenges.
The book is an excellent reference for all those interested in the subject, and may be used as the text for advanced courses on the topic.
