High-speed wireless multimedia networks: State-of-the-art design and architecture
In Multimedia Applications Support for Wireless ATM Networks, Dr. Anna Hac´ presents the state-of-the-art in design and architecture for tomorrow's high-speed, wireless multimedia, voice, data, and video networks. Beginning with a lucid, example-rich introduction to today's leading broadband and wireless ATM network technologies, Hac´ addresses every key issue facing the designer of advanced multimedia networks. Coverage includes:
- Architectures based on distributed control, hierarchical organization, ATM LANs, LANE, and the Intelligent Network
- New solutions for routing and congestion control in bursty, high-speed multimedia and mobile networks
- Tracking strategies, location management schemes, and location update/routing schemes for mobile environments
- Finding minimum cost multicast trees with bounded path delay
- Mobile host protocols for the Internet
- Key approaches to resource allocation: dynamic channel assignment, distributed dynamic channel assignment, and hybrid channel allocation
- Multicasting, synchronization, Quality of Service (QoS), and more
From start to finish, Hac focuses on real-world applications and traffic patterns-helping network designers and engineersevaluate alternatives, project performance, and make better decisions.
