Mobility Management and Quality-Of-Service for Heterogeneous Networks [Hardcover]

Considerable attention is currently devoted worldwide toward mobility issues and challenges such as those arising from the integration of the next generation Internet over terrestrial digital TV, mobile user location management, and multi-service mobile networks subject to quality of service (QoS) routing.

This book follows Heterogeneous Networks: Performance Modelling and Analysis. It describes recent advances in mobile and wireless networks and the Internet, reflecting the state-of-the-art technology and achievements in the study of mobility management, performance enhancement, optimal admission control, and QoS worldwide.

Technical topics discussed in the book include
Mobility Management
Optimal Admission Control
Performance Modelling Studies
Access Network Coverage
Quality of Service (QoS)

Mobility Management and Quality-of-Service for Heterogeneous Networkscontains recently extended research papers, which have their roots in the series of the HET-NETs International Working Conferences. They focus on the 'Performance Modelling and Evaluation of Heterogeneous Networks' under the auspices of the EU Networks of Excellence Euro-NGI and Euro-FGI. This book is ideal for personnel in computer/communication industries as well as academic staff and master/research students in computer science, operational research, electrical engineering, and telecommunication systems.Preface
