IP in Wireless Networks is the first comprehensive guide that shows how IP is enabled in 2G, 2.5G and 3G wireless networks. A world-class team of wireless engineers presents a systematic, expert guidance for every leading wireless technology, including 802.11, Bluetooth(tm), GSM/GPRS, CDMA and i-mode. This book's in-depth coverage encompasses architecture, deployment strategies, operation, mobility models, applications, and much more.

• The evolution of wireless networks from circuit-switched to packet-switched

• Key technical challenges to wireless IPand proven solutions

• Current and emerging wireless IP applications, including

• Multimedia messaging, VoIP-over-wireless, and location services

• The standards bodies relevant to the wireless architectures that are defining the specifications for the emerging wireless Internet

• Beyond 3G: a 3GPP/3GPP2 perspective

If you're responsible for planning, developing, deploying, or managing wireless IP networks, you'll find IP in Wireless Networks an indispensable resource.
