Ebook Traffic analysis and design of wireless IP

The third generation (3G) of mobile networks introduces wide spectrum and high data rates as well as variety of circuit-switched and packet-based services. It provides IP connectivity besides the circuit switching. Future generation mobile systems are expected to include heterogeneous access technologies, such as wireless LAN and 3G, as well as end-to-end IP connectivity (i.e., an all-IP network). The diversity of traffic services and access technologies creates new possibilities for both operators and users. On the other hand, it raises new traffic and design issues. This book provides traffic analysis, dimensioning, quality of service (QoS), and design aspects for wireless IP networks with multiple traffic classes.
