This note covers
both the theory and practice of wireless networking. We will then study
widely-used wireless local area network standards and TCP/IP extensions for
mobile and wireless networking. Topics covered will include: Fundamentals of
wireless communications, Wireless network standards, TCP/IP for mobile and
wireless communications, Mobile application platforms, Multihop ad hoc networks,
Sensor networks.
This note covers the following
topics: Overview of wireless networks, Singlehop wireless, multiple wireless
hops, Challenges of wireless communications, IEEE 802.11, spread spectrum and
physical layer specification, MAC functional specification, Mobile IPv4, Mobile
IPv6.
A wireless ad-hoc network
is a wireless network deployed without any infrastructure. This
includes wireless mesh networks, mobile ad-hoc networks, and vehicular
ad-hoc networks. This book focuses on the most fundamental aspects of
wireless ad-hoc networks. Topics include the design of the link layer
for better performance, the study on routing protocols for higher
efficiency, and practical issues in its application.
This book presents some of the latest
development status of wireless LAN, covering the topics on physical layer, MAC
layer, QoS and systems. It provides an opportunity for both practitioners and
researchers to explore the problems that arise in the rapidly developed
technologies in wireless LAN.
The purpose of this
document is to give technical readers a basic overview of the new 802.11
Standard, in such a way that they will be able to understand the basic concepts, the
principle of operations, and some of the reasons behind some of the features
and/or components of the Standard.
This note
covers the following topics: Channel model: the protocol model, High-level media
access, TDMA, CSMA, hidden or exposed terminal problems, WLAN, Fundamentals of
routing.
