| Publisher Description: 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 Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning in order to illustrate the affect that QoS has upon the stability, integrity and growth of next generation wireless internet. The authors provide the tools required to implement this understanding. The book is particularly useful for design and engineering network architecture and protocols for future wireless internet. Provides a comprehensive and analytical understanding of the performance of multimedia in wireless networks and wireline networks, and the tools to implement such an understanding. Addresses issues such as IEEE 802.11, AIMD/RED (Additive Increase-Multiplicative Decrease/ Random Early Detection), multimedia traffic models, congestion control and random access networks. Compares the different characteristics of wireless vs. wireline networks and details QoS constrained multimedia applications. Includes a case study on AIMD for multimedia playback applications. Features numerous examples, suggested reading and review questions for each chapter. |
