1 Brochure More information from WiFi, WiMAX and LTE Multi hop Mesh Networks. Basic Communication Protocols and Application Areas. Information and Communication Technology Series, Description: What you need to know about one of the hottest and most promising technologies in wireless communications Owing to their ability to easily interconnect a wide range of devices, wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are attracting immense interest throughout the world. This book offers a clear, practical introduction to this rapidly growing field, providing engineers with the tools they need to start working on WiFi, WiMAX, or LTE multi hop relay networks. The authors explain all technical concepts with a minimum of mathematics, incorporating numerous examples of user scenarios, deployable architectures, performance tips, and real world implementations using readily available tools. The evolution of WMNs from IEEE wireless LAN to 4G radio technologies, various business aspects, and future directions are also explored. Coverage includes: - Architectural requirements for multi hop and ad hoc networking, with topics ranging from anonymity to searching - Key application areas in transportation, medicine, environmental protection, smart buildings, and more - A review of the application of mesh concepts to IEEE WiFi wireless LAN technology - Mesh networking using IEEE WiMAX radio access networks presented here for the first time - Mesh and relay networking in LTE and LTE Advanced technologies, including system architecture and design issues WiFi, WiMAX, and LTE Multi hop Mesh Networks is the ideal guide for engineers and researchers wishing to quickly get up to speed on the latest advances in mesh networking.
