Focusing on qualitative descriptions and realistic explanations of relationships between wireless systems and performance parameters, INTRODUCTION TO WIRELESS AND MOBILE SYSTEMS, 4e explains the general principles of how wireless systems work, how mobility is supported, what the underlying infrastructure is and what interactions are needed among different functional components. Rather than offering a thorough history of the development of wireless technologies or an exhaustive list of work being carried out, the authors help computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering students learn this exciting technology through relevant examples, such as understanding how a cell phone starts working as soon as they get out of an airplane.

This edition offers the most extensive coverage of Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks available for the course and includes up-to-date coverage of the latest wireless technologies.

Focusing on qualitative descriptions and realistic explanations of relationships between wireless systems and performance parameters, INTRODUCTION TO WIRELESS AND MOBILE SYSTEMS, 4e explains the general principles of how wireless systems work, how mobility is supported, what the underlying infrastructure is and what interactions are needed among different functional components. Rather than offering a thorough history of the development of wireless technologies or an exhaustive list of work being carried out, the authors help computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering students learn this exciting technology through relevant examples, such as understanding how a cell phone starts working as soon as they get out of an airplane. This edition offers the most extensive coverage of Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks available for the course and includes up-to-date coverage of the latest wireless technologies. A new Chapter 16 covers security and privacy aspects of different wireless technologies. The Sensor Networks chapter has been enhanced to reflect the latest advances in the field. New coverage has been added on 3GPP, WiMax, and LTE. Discussions on the latest wireless technologies, including two-tier visual sensor network, application of coding in wireless multi-hop networks, Delay Tolerant and Mobile Opportunistic Network, 5-G and beyond, Android and iOS, and Internet of Things have been added to the book's final chapter. Up-to-date and comprehensive coverage helps students develop a clear understanding of how the mobility of cell phones is supported. Only the necessary mathematical formulas are provided so students can appreciate their usefulness in numerous wireless and mobile system applications without being overwhelmed by mathematical detail. Detailed discussions explore how ad hoc and sensor networks are finding increasing use in military and commercial applications. The authors demonstrate how the introduction of the Bluetooth standard has revolutionized the field with easy replacement of connectors. Coverage of recent advances in the final chapter emphasizes the research work being carried out in wireless and mobile computing areas.
