Robust Mobile Networking 12+

📓 Over the last few years, Local Area Networks have been popular and successful at providing wireless broadband services. However, mobile users are not able to establish a seamless connection when moving to other networks. In addition, they also share frequencies with other electronic devices. Therefore, the actual network throughput is far less than theoretically maximum throughput. This book provides an introduction to the IEEE 802.11 networks and the design and implementation of MAC/PHY layer protocols, which are robust and effective in supporting mobility, maximum throughput, and QoS for multimedia applications in real world environments. It covers WLANs, ad hoc networks, vehicle-to-vehicle networks, and multimedia ad hoc networks with an implemented testbed.As you read this book, you should have a clear understanding of the IEEE 802.11 system and learn techniques for designing and implementing an advanced system for various types of wireless networks and applications that use the IEEE 802.11 system.
