Summary

Wireless Communications: Future Directions focuses on the long-term future of wireless communications. Presently, wireless information networks are recognized as key ingredients in the information services of the next century. industry, government, academia, and the financial community all display intense interest in the subject. The contributions presented in this book address the long-term needs of this rapidly advancing field. Beginning with sections on Standards and Systems Issues, Wireless Communications then presents sections covering Alternative Approaches and New Traffic Approaches. This is followed by a section on Dynamic Channel Allocation. The book concludes with a section on PCN, Multimedia and CDMA. Wireless Communications is an excellent reference for anyone interested in the subject, and may be used as a text for advanced courses on the topic.
