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.
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 is a practical guide to designing and
building wireless networks in local communities, enhancing lives through
improved communication, access to information for educational, social and
economic growth.
This work seeks to guide information providers in establishing
accessible Websites and acquiring the hardware and software needed by people
with disabilities. The book focuses on access to the Internet using large print,
voice, and Braille. Contributors Judith Dixon and Doug Wakefield are respected
experts in the field of adaptive technology and the Internet. Both have lectured
widely on the subject and use adaptive technology extensively.
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.
