Wireless quality of service: techniques, standards, and appications

Quality of Service (QoS) is becoming an important and complicated issues in wireless network design, as current wireless networks are achieving more bandwidth through physical layer improvements. "Wireless Quality-of-Service" provides a comprehensive reference on the state-of-the-technology of QoS services in wireless networks, including fundamental concepts, techniques, protocols, system implementations, and recent advances. This book presents an introduction todifferent wireless networks and mechanisms, addressing key challenges in QoS service frameworks for diverse wireless networks and providing the latest IEEEstandard specifications as well as standardization efforts.
