Summary

This book introduces the promising protocols for multimedia services and presents the analytical frameworks for measuring their performance in wireless networks. Furthermore, the book shows how to fine-tune the parameters for Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning in order to illustrate the affect that QoS has upon the stability, integrity and growth of next generation wireless internet. The authors provide the tools required to implement this understanding. The book is particularly useful for design and engineering network architecture and protocols for future wireless internet. Provides a comprehensive and analytical understanding of the performance of multimedia in wireless networks and wireline networks, and the tools to implement such an understanding. Addresses issues such as IEEE 802.11, AIMD/RED (Additive Increase-Multiplicative Decrease/ Random Early Detection), multimedia traffic models, congestion control and random access networks. Compares the different characteristics of wireless vs. wireline networks and details QoS constrained multimedia applications. Includes a case study on AIMD for multimedia playback applications. Features numerous examples, suggested reading and review questions for each chapter.

He served as the Department Chairman during the period July 1984–June 1990. In 1996 he established the Centre for Wireless Communications (CWC) at the University of Waterloo and is currently serving as its founding Director. Dr Mark has been on sabbatical leave at the following places: IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY, as a Visiting Research Scientist (1976–77); AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, NJ, as a Resident Consultant (1982–83); Laboratoire MASI, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France, as an Invited Professor (1990–91); and Department of Electrical Engineering, National University of Singapore, as a Visiting Professor (1994–95). He has previously worked in the areas of adaptive equalization, image and video coding, spread spectrum communications, computer communication networks, ATM switch design and traffic management. His current research interests are in broadband wireless communications and networking, resource and mobility management, and cross domain interworking. He is a co-author of the text entitled Wireless Communications and Networking (Prentice-Hall, 2003), and the book entitled Wireless Broadband Networks (Wiley, 2009). A Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering and a Life Fellow of IEEE, Dr Mark is the recipient of the 2000 Canadian Award for Telecommunications Research and the 2000 Award of Merit of the Education Foundation of the Federation of Chinese Canadian Professionals. He was an editor of IEEE Transactions on Communications (1983–1990), a member of the Inter-Society Steering Committee of the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (1992–2003), a member of the IEEE Communications Society Awards Committee (1995–1998), an editor of Wireless Networks (1993–2004), and an associate editor of Telecommunication Systems (1994–2004). He is currently a member of the Advisory Board of the Wiley Series Advanced Texts in Communications and Networking.
