{"product_id":"9780792379553","title":"Broadband Wireless Access","description":" \u003cp\u003eThis book discusses the design, performance and implementation of access protocols with emphasis on how such protocols can efficiently support disparate classes of multimedia traffic. These protocols are deployed or experimented in various broadband wireless environments such as wireless ATM, satellite networks, mobile cellular and personal communication systems, wireless local loops, wireless local area networks, and others. Besides a comprehensive introduction and survey to the evolution of access protocols, some of the hottest topics of current interest are covered. These include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eConnection control and QoS provisioning. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraffic load balancing techniques. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelopments in advanced CDMA\/TDMA\/OFDM systems. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternational standardization efforts (e.g., 3G, IMT 2000). \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmerging broadband wireless access (e.g., wireless ATM, satellite ATM, high-speed wireless LANs). \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe complete design, performance analysis, simulation and protocol verification of a generalized broadband multiple access protocol. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile engineering aspects are discussed, the emphasis is on the physical understanding of access protocols, from basic proposals to the latest innovations. Mathematical treatment is kept to a minimum, and most of the fundamental concepts are explained based on intuition and insights, supplemented by numerous illustrative figures. In addition, these concepts are expressed succinctly and concisely. Wherever possible, important references that make major contributions to the field are included for interested readers to investigate further. Latest updates and useful Web resources are posted at the book's Web site.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46223946252529,"sku":"9780792379553","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9780792379553_p0.jpg?v=1765255339","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780792379553","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
