Mobile Communication e-book

the book points out common properties of different technical solutions and shows the integration of services and applications well-known from fixed networks into networks supporting mobility of end systems and wireless access. If the reader is interested in more detailed information regarding a certain topic, he or she will find many pointers to research publications or related websites. Teachers will find this book useful for a course that follows a general data communication or computer networking class. The book can also replace parts of more general courses if it is used together with other books covering fixed networks or aspects of high-speed networks. It should be straightforward to teach a mobile networking class using this book together with the course material provided online via the following link: http://www.jochenschiller.de/
