Wireless Network Traffic and Quality of Service Support

Wireless networking is considered by many to be the future of communication technology, as the demand for high quality, mobile connection increases across the world. Wireless Network Traffic and Quality of Service Support: Trends and Standards examines cutting edge approaches for the provision of Quality of Service (QoS) in wireless local area networks, presenting the latest solutions towards the optimization of the channel management and routing in infrastructure and ad hoc wireless networks. This book also analyzes traffic categorization issues and methods that can predict the available QoS, as well as managing wireless mesh networks and wireless sensor networks. It also examines the entire user experience, by treating energy conservation techniques to maximize mobile devices' battery lifetime. It is a vital foundation for researchers dealing with the problems of today to create the new networks of the future.
