Overview
Recent developments to wireless networks bring with them the questions of service offers, service management, service control, and quality of service that are examined in this collection of perspectives on emerging wireless technologies.Synopsis
Emerging wireless technologies for both public and private use have led to the creation of new applications, including the adaptation of current network management procedures and protocols and the introduction of unified open service architectures. Aspects such as accounting for multiple media access and QoS (Quality of Service) profiling must also be introduced to enable multimedia service offers, service management, and service control over the wireless internet. Also needed to foster the development of new services, are security and content production. Adaptable applications for variable bandwidth and variable costs will open new possibilities for ubiquitous communications. In this book the contributors, drawn from a broad international field, address these prospects from the most recent perspectives.
