The result of decades of research and international project
experience, Multimedia Communications and Networking provides
authoritative insight into recent developments in multimedia,
digital communications, and networking services and technologies.
Supplying you with the required foundation in these areas, it
illustrates the means that will allow for improved digital
communications and networks. The book starts with a review of the
fundamental concepts, requirements, and constraints in networks and
telecommunications. It describes channel disturbances that can
hinder system performance-including noise, attenuation, distortion,
and interferences-and provides transmission techniques for
mitigating these limitations. Analyzing both cable and wireless
transmission mediums, the book describes the network protocol
architecture concept and includes coverage of twisted pairs,
coaxial and optical fiber cables, wireless propagation, satellite
communications, and terrestrial microwave systems. Facilitating the
understanding required to participate in the development of current
and next generation networks and services, this comprehensive
reference: Examines the range of network interconnections and
WAN/MAN technologies, including synchronous optical networks
(SONET), synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH), and third and next
generation cellular systems (3G and 4G) Describes local area
network (LAN) theory and technology, including data link layers and
virtual LANs Explores network and transport layers, such as
addressing, routing protocols, and IPv4 and IPv6 algorithms Covers
TCP/IP services and applications Investigates different
authentication and cryptographic systems, including digital
signature, SSL, TLS, IPSEC, and public key infrastructure Walking
you through the planning, design, and development of multimedia,
telecommunications, and networking systems, the book provides a
quick and easy way to develop and refine the skills required in the
field. It clearly explains the principles and corresponding
techniques you need to know to implement network security. The many
examples and end-of-chapter questions also make it suitable for
undergraduate and graduate-level computer science and electrical
engineering courses.
