Multimedia services in wireless internet: modeling and analysis

This book introduces the promising protocols for multimedia services and presents the analytical frameworks for measuring their performance in wireless networks. Furthermore, the book shows how to fine-tune the parameters for Qualityof Service (QoS) provisioning in order to illustrate the affect that QoS has upon the stability, integrity and growth of next generation wireless Internet.In addition, the authors provide the tools required to implement this understanding. These tools are particularly useful for design and engineering networkarchitecture and protocols for future wireless Internet. Thus, the book is a first of its kind, not only for the tools and skills that it offers its readers, but also in terms of the dedication that it gives to the many different characteristics of wireless networks and QoS constrained multimedia applications.It provides a good overview of wireless networks while also appealing to network researchers and engineers. The following topics are covered by the authors: Wireless Channel Models, Multimedia Traffic Model, TCP and TCP-friendly congestion controls (Transmission Control Protocol), Stability property of the Internet, for example AIMD/RED, Transferring Receptor (TRFC) and Wireless random access networks, including IEEE 802.11 and Wireless LAN (WLAN).
