Wireless Multimedia Communications

Networking Video, Voice, and Data by Ellen Kayata Wesel

This book is a comprehensive guide to understanding the design of wireless multimedia communication systems. Wireless is synonymous with mobile, enabling the computer user to remain connected while moving from one place to another. Multimedia denotes a mix of video, voice, and data information—each of which has different transfer requirements. The author has made significant contributions to the theory, design, standardization, and policies of several wireless multimedia systems. The book is comprehensive in scope, and addresses in detail each of the key elements of a complete wireless multimedia system, including propagation characteristics, modulation, intersymbol interface mitigation, coding, medium access protocols, and spectrum and standards networking, while defining their relationship to one another.

Dr. Ellen Kayata Wesel is a senior scientist at Hughes Communications, Inc. (HCI), where she designs the next generation of wireless multimedia communication systems. Prior to joining HCI, she designed the physical and data link layers for high data rate wireless LANs at Apple Comnuter.

Wireless Personal Communications Systems

by David J. Goodman

Goodman presents the technology and underlying principles of wireless communications systems. He describes nine important systems: AMPS, IS-41, NA-TDMA, CDMA, GSM, CT-2, DECT, PHS, and PACS. Each system is described using a unified framework so that the reader can easily compare and contrast the systems. Key features, such as architecture, radio transmission, logical channels, messages, mobility management, security, power control, and handoff, are addressed. An analysis of design goals—low price, wide geographical coverage, transmission quality, privacy, and spectrum efficiency—helps the reader to understand why the various systems have such divergent designs.

David J. Goodman is the director of the Wireless Information Networks LABoratory (WTNLAB) and is a member of the faculty at Rutgers University. Previously, Dr. Goodman worked at Bell Laboratories for twenty-one years, where he did pioneering research in wireless communications.
