To satisfy users, network designers and developers must integrate end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) support throughout all their underlying networks: WANs, WLANs, WPANs, and "last-mile" WLL or satellite distribution systems. However, wireless network standards typically focus on signaling, leaving crucial QoS issues to implementers. Multimedia Wireless Networks is the first book to help network professionals systematically address QoS in today's most important wireless networks -- and tomorrow's. bull; bull;Why users' wireless multimedia performance requirements will require extensive QoS support bull;The fundamentals of QoS -- and how they drive network design bull;WLAN standards from the multimedia network designer's viewpoint: IEEE 802.11, HiperLAN, and HomeRF bull;Wireless MANs: introducing the new 802.16 WirelessMAN standard bull;Integrating QoS into IEEE 802.15 and Bluetooth wireless personal area networks bull;QoS in current and emerging cellular and satellite networks PRENTICE HALL Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 www.phptr.com ISBN: 0-13-046099-0Ganz, Aura is the author of 'Multimedia Wireless Networks Technologies, Standards and Qos' with ISBN 9780130460998 and ISBN 0130460990.
