It was only a few years ago that “ubiquitous connectivity” was recognized as the future of
wireless communication systems. In the era of ubiquitous connectivity, it was expected that
the broadband mobile Internet experience would be pervasive, and seamless connectivity on
a global scale would be n ...
Mobile and wireless communication systems are a prominent communications
technology of the twenty-first century with profound economic and social impacts
in practically all parts of the world. The current state of wireless communication
systems allows for a much wider scope of applications than what ...
Commoditization is a serious threat to the telecommunications industry. Most CSPs offer
similar services at rates designed to win what has become a price war. As a result, many
face decreasing margins and difficulty sustaining differentiation based on prices or
products alone. On top of commoditizat ...
The fi rst edition of this book came about because Regina Lundgren had always been
fascinated with communication. She started writing novels in the third grade. When she
was asked on her fi rst day at the University of Washington what she hoped to do with her
degree in scientifi c and technical comm ...
Developers, manufacturers and marketers of products incorporating short-
range radio systems are experts in their fields—security, telemetry,
medical care, to name a few. Often they add a wireless interface just to
eliminate wires on an existing wired product. They may adapt a wireless
subsystem, w ...
Until the mid-1990s most readers would probably not have even come across the term soft-

Each vendor pulls together from its available products a package of features
related to voice, data, messaging, and image communications. That’s UC for
one vendor, but it’s unlikely ...
n the first part of this book, we give an introduction to the basic applications of wireless com-
munications, as well as the technical problems inherent in this communication paradigm. After a
brief history of wireless, Chapter 1 describes the different types of wireless services, and works
out the ...
