Wireless systems for mobile communication is one of the most
rapidly expanding fields in digital telecommunications. Such hot
topics as wireless Internet, mobile access to multimedia services
and wireless convergence systems are likely to affect the whole of
the information society and will pose intellectual challenges to
researchers in the foreseeable future. Transmission techniques like
WCDMA, user-oriented protocols like WAP and communication
structures like LEO are just a few tools that seem to usher in the
era of unlimited resource availability. Personal Wireless
Communications addresses these issues, with 17 regular papers and 4
invited papers by leading researchers in the area of wireless
communications. The volume comprises the proceedings of the Working
Conference on Personal Wireless Communications (PWC'2000), which
was sponsored by the International Federation for Information
Processing (IFIP) and held in Gdansk, Poland in September 2000.The
contributions cover a wide range of topics, from 3G cellular
systems to wireless Internet and WAP design to wireless LAN and
ATM; from speech coding and antenna design to teletraffic modelling
and protocol evaluation. The book is thus essential reading for
theoreticians and engineers interested in the current progress in
wireless systems, as well as for IT students and researchers.

Recent spectacular achievements in wireless, mobile, and sensor
networks have dramatically changed our lives in many ways. However,
the rapid evolution of wireless systems not only promises increased
functionality, reliability, availability, and security, as well as
putting a wide variety of new services at the users' disposal ? it
also creates a number of design challenges that our research
community is now facing. Scientists and engineers need to come up
with, and promptly implement, novel wireless network architectures,
while system operators and planners rethink their business models
and attend to the growing expectations of their customer base. To
provide a suitable forum for discussion between researchers,
practitioners, and industry representatives interested in new
developments in the respective research area, IFIP WG 6. 8 launched
three separate series of conferences: MWCN (Mobile and Wireless
Communications Networks), PWC (Personal Wireless Communications),
and WSAN (Wireless Sensor and Actors Networks). In 2008, MWCN and
PWC were merged into the IFIP Wireless and Mobile Networking
Conference (WMNC 2008), held in Toulouse, France, from September 30
to October 2, 2008. MWNC 2008 and PWC 2008 topics were subsequently
revised with a view to covering the whole spectrum of hot issues in
wireless and mobile networking. As a result, IFIP WG 6. 8 decided
to add WSAN as another WMNC track.

There are numerous factors contributing to the dynamic growth of
wireless communication systems we've been observing in the past 10
years, the most important being the increasing network user
mobility and the technological advances in high-speed data
transmission over radio channels. Research centres and
standards-making institutions the world over conduct works on 3G
integrated systems of person-to-person and person-to-computer
communications, wireless counterparts of classical LAN, ATM and IP
architectures, satellite and access networks as well as advanced
service platforms like W AP and other concepts. Among the many
commercial and non-profit organisations professionally involved in
the development of the new information infrastructure, of
particular influence is the International Federation for
Information Processing. Within its Technical Committee TC-6, a
working group WG 6.8 has been set up to co-ordinate IFIP activities
in the area of wireless communications. It has done so, among
others, by arranging regular meetings of academic and industrial
researchers, known as IFIP TC-6 WG 6.8 Workshops on Personal
Wireless Communications (pWC). Such workshops were held in recent
years in Prague, Frankfurt/M, Tokyo and Copenhagen, and their
success has resulted in the promotion of PWC to the status of IFIP
Working Conference.
