Broadband Satellite Communication Systems and the Challenges of
Mobility is an essential reference for both academic and
professional researchers in the field of telecommunications,
computer networking and wireless networks.
Recently the request of multimedia services has been rapidly
increasing and satellite networks appear to be attractive for a
fast service deployment and for extending the typical service area
of terrestrial systems. In comparison with traditional wide area
networks, a characteristic of satellite communication systems is
their ability in broadcasting and multicasting multimedia
information flows anywhere over the satellite coverage. The papers
presented in this volume highlight key areas such as Satellite
Network Architectures, Services and Applications; Mobile Satellite
Systems and Services; and Hybrid Satellite and Terrestrial
Networks.
Mobility will inevitably be one of the main characteristics of
future networks, terminals and applications and, thus, extending
and integrating fixed network protocols and services to mobile
systems represents one of the main issues of present networking.
The secondary focus of this volume is on challenges of mobility,
that is, on technologies, protocols and services for the support of
seamless and nomadic user access to new classes of applications in
person-to-person, device-to-device and device-to-person
environments. The book comprises recent results of research and
development in the following areas; Seamless mobility; Mobile ad
hoc and sensor networks; Analysis, simulation and measurements of
mobile and wireless systems; Integration and inter-working of wired
and wireless networks; QoS in mobile and wireless networks; Future
trends and issues concerning mobility.
This state -of-the-art volume contains a collection of papers
from two of the workshops of the 18th IFIP World Computer Congress,
held August 22-27, 2004, in Toulouse, France: the Workshop on
Broadband Satellite Communication Systems, and the Workshop on the
Challenges of Mobility.
