Multimedia service provisioning is believed to be one of the
prerequisites to guarantee the success of next-generation wireless
networks. Examining the role of multimedia in state-of-the-art
wireless systems and networks, Broadband Mobile Multimedia:
Techniques and Applications presents a collection of introductory
concepts, fundamental techniques, the latest advances, and open
issues in this important area.
Divided into four sections, the volume begins with an
introduction to various broadband wireless multimedia systems.
Using video as an application example, it then focuses on the
routing and cross-layer design issue of multimedia communication
over multihop wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. The next section
discusses issues related to multimedia communications over WLANs-a
dominant part of today's broadband wireless access networks. The
book concludes with recent developments in quality-of-service (QoS)
provisioning mechanisms and other enabling technologies, including
middleware, mobility management, scheduling, and power control.
With numerous illustrative figures and extensive references,
this useful technical guide gives in-depth treatments of basic
topics, a solid overview of cutting-edge advances, and a
representative sampling of important research outcomes.
