The goal of Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) is to provide seamless
access to GSM and GPRS mobile service networks via unlicensed
spectrum technologies, including Bluetooth, WiMAX, and Wi-Fi.
Expanding on the level of knowledge in this growing field,
Unlicensed Mobile Access Technology: "Protocols, Architectures,
Security, Standards, and Applications" presents the first complete
cross-referenced resource exploring UMA and UMA-relevant
technologies.
When operating successfully, the technology supporting dual-mode
enabled mobile terminals allows subscribers to roam freely and
seamlessly between cellular networks. However, various technical
challenges still occasionally impede clear communication. This book
explores the complex issue of mobility management and emphasizes
the need for intelligently designed vertical and horizontal handoff
algorithms that will improve adaptability in heterogeneous wireless
environments. In addition, it reviews the various strategies to
guarantee Quality-of- Service (QoS) during movement and
handoff.
The first chapters introduce the basic technology of these
systems and discuss QoS, resource management, mobility management,
and security issues in UMA technology. The middle section
concentrates on protocols and security challenges in UMA-related
technologies, which include Bluetooth, WirelessPAN, Wi-Fi (IEEE
802.11) and WiMAX (IEEE 802.16). The final chapters present
standard specifications and various applications.
Comprised of contributions from world-wide experts, this book is
a complete reference, offering guidance on all aspects of the
technical and practical issues in UMA technology.
