Most of the available literature in wireless networking and mobile
computing concentrates on the physical aspect of the subject, such
as spectrum management and cell re-use. In most cases, a
description of fundamental distributed algorithms that support
mobile hosts in a wireless environment is either not included or is
only briefly discussed. Handbook of Algorithms for Wireless
Networking and Mobile Computing focuses on several aspects of
mobile computing, particularly algorithmic methods and distributed
computing with mobile communications capability. This volume
provides the topics that are crucial for building the foundation
for the design and construction of future generations of mobile and
wireless networks, including cellular, wireless ad hoc, sensor, and
ubiquitous networks. Following an analysis of fundamental
algorithms and protocols, the book offers a basic overview of
wireless technologies and networks and a discussion of the
convergence of communication and computation. Other topics include
issues related to mobility, with a focus on the creation of
techniques that control associated uncertainties; aspects of QoS
provisioning in wireless networks; a comparison of numerous
wireless TCP proposals; a review of fundamental algorithms for
Bluetooth wireless personal area networks (WPANs); and
investigations of future voice and video access networks; and a
review of potential applications of pervasive computing and mobile
e-commerce.
