Over the past decade, the world has witnessed an explosion in the
development and deployment of new wireless network technologies. From
cellular mobile telephony to the ubiquitous WiFi networks in
coffee-shops and airports, to the emerging WiMAX wireless broadband
access networks, the menu of wireless access systems has become so
comprehensive that wireline access to user devices may soon become a
relic of the past. Wireless Networking serves as a one-stop view of
cellular, WiFi, and WiMAX networks, as well as the emerging wireless ad
hoc and sensor networks. Rather than provide descriptive accounts of
these technologies and standards, the book emphasizes conceptual
perspectives on the modeling, analysis, design and optimization of such
networks. Furthermore, the authors present wireless networking within
the unifying framework of resource allocation, using simple abstractions
of the underlying physical wireless communication. In short, Wireless
Networking is an in-depth, exhaustive, and invaluable asset to anyone
working in this rapidly evolving field.

*Goes beyond descriptive and qualitative treatments, by presenting the
foundations underlying the various wireless networking technologies

*Provides abstractions, models and analyses of established and emerging
wireless networks, thereby supplying the reader with a conceptual and
quantitative treatment, thus ensuring longevity of the learning from
this material

*Aids comprehension by including over 120 figures, four appendices on
the mathematics of the various models, several inline exercises, and
extensive problem sets at the end of each chapter
