Product Description
In recent years, scientists have become more focused on the research,development, and integration of Heterogeneous Wireless Networks (HWN)platforms in order to both converge the existing telecom technology andto deliver multimedia services of high intrinsic and perceived Qualityof Service (QoS) to users.The Handbook of Research on Heterogeneous Next Generation Networking: Innovations and Platformsidentifies key issues facing next generation networks and highlightspromising technologies. With over 20 research contributions from 47international experts, this comprehensive collection explores thetechnical characteristics of the shared core network and multipleaccess networks, and the associated modeling, security, and performanceissues essential to quality service delivery of integrated data, video,and voice. Enhanced with far-reaching considerations of the societaland commercial implications in such domains as e-government ande-commerce, this essential addition to library reference collectionswill also benefit academics, technology specialists, managers, andpolicy makers in a broad range of settings.About the Author
