Abstract:
In recent years, scientists have become more focused on the research, development, and integration of Heterogeneous Wireless Networks (HWN) platforms in order to both converge the existing telecom technology and to deliver multimedia services of high intrinsic and perceived Quality of Service (QoS) to users. This handbook identifies key issues facing next generation networks and highlights promising technologies. With over 20 research contributions from 47 international experts, this comprehensive collection explores the technical characteristics of the shared core network and multiple access networks, and the associated modeling, security, and performance issues essential to quality service delivery of integrated data, video, and voice. Enhanced with far-reaching considerations of the societal and commercial implications in such domains as e-government and e-commerce, this volume will benefit academics, technology specialists, managers, and policy makers in a broad range of settings.
