Traffic Analysis and Design of Wireless IP Networks

Thebook presents you with a solid analytical framework for traffic analysis inwireless IP networks and provides valuable analytical tools for networkplanning, dimensioning, and optimization for wireless IP networks in a multipleclasses environment. It provides a novel approach for admission control inwireless IP networks, which considers both call level and packet level. A newapproach for micro-mobility and location management helps you solve problemswithin a given wireless IP network domain, and improving traffic performance athandovers. The book introduces a new scheduling algorithm, which offers anefficient way to solve problems relating to scheduling in multi-class wirelessIP networks under the influence of location-dependent bit errors in thewireless channel.
