Providing Internet services to mobile users has become the most significant topic within the telecommunications research community in the past few years. "The Wireless Mobile Internet" provides the first complete literature for the wireless Internet both describing the standard activities and the current status of the wireless IP, as well as detailing network models and specific techniques.

The wireless mobile Internet is not just an extension of the Internet into the mobile environment - giving users access to Internet services while they are on the move. It is about integrating the Internet and other telecommunications technologies into a single system that delivers all the communications services that human beings require.

The Wireless Mobile Internet - Architectures, Protocols, and Services is the first complete reference on the wireless Internet. It elegantly bridges the literary gap that exists between cellular wireless and computer communications. The author summarises the relevant standards activities (including the current status of wireless IP), provides updates on state-of-the-art technologies and protocols, describes various network models in detail and suggests specific techniques for implementing services.

Key features include:
* A comprehensive description of the core network and access technologies of 2G and 3G cellular systems, as well as related standards.

* A complete overview of all existing wireless Internet initiatives such as HSCSD, CDPD, WAP and i-mode.

* A thorough treatment of all the essential technical requirements of a mobile network: QoS, traffic modelling and management, mobility management, transport protocols and network protocols.

* Coverage of cutting-edge technologies such as cellular, wLAN, and satellite through to wireless IP.

* More than 250 diagrams illustrating key concepts.

* A forward look at the crucial features of future mobile network architectures.
This easy-to-read reference text will prove essential reading for anyone seeking to bridge the gap between the Internet and Telecommunications disciplines, be they practising engineers, industrial or academic researchers or advanced level students.
