This comprehensive book gives you a hands-on understanding of the techniques and architectures being used to provide voice and data services over wireless networks. It serves as a unified “how it works” guide to wireless Internet telecommunications, systematically addressing each of the technological components and how they fit together. You get a clear picture of protocols like RTP for multimedia transport and SIP for session control signaling, and see what’s being done to tackle tough challenges in QoS control, mobility management, and security in the wireless environment. The book discusses at length the cutting-edge IP Multimedia Sub-System (IMS) of UMTS to illustrate how each of these crucial components can be successfully implemented in a real-world wireless IP system.

Internet and wireless technologies are converging towards an exciting future that we’ve only begun to realize. For professionals who have a background in the Internet or in mobile telephony – but not in both – this integrated “how it works” guide offers a practical understanding of wireless Internet communications, the technology components involved, and how they fit and work together. It provides a unified picture of important protocols for multimedia transport and session control, and explains what’s being done to tackle tough challenges in QoS control, mobility management, and security in the wireless environment. With enhancements to the next generation of the Internet protocol expected to provide greater support for wireless IP networks, the next Internet revolution may be just around the corner. This book provides professionals with what they need to know about the techniques and architectures that will get us there.
