Traffic Analysis and Design of Wireless IP Networks

Traffic Analysis and Design of Wireless IP Networks, 9781580533317 (1580533310), Artech House Publishers, 2003

Wireless networks have penetrated almost a billion subscribers worldwide with
first and second generation mobile networks. The main service was voice, and
more recently modem-based low-rate data services. Because of the voiceoriented
traffic and circuit-switching technology, these networks are dimensioned
and designed using the traditional traffic theory in telecommunications.
Their design is based on high-cost centralized switching and signaling equipment
and base stations as wireless access points. Another technology dominated
the world in the wired local telecommunication networks: IP technology. The
transparency of the Internet Protocol (IP) to different traffic types and low-cost
switching equipment made it very attractive to operators and customers.

The third generation (3G) of mobile networks introduces wide spectrum
and high data rates as well as variety of circuit-switched and packet-based services.
It provides IP connectivity besides the circuit switching. Future generation
mobile systems are expected to include heterogeneous access technologies, such
as wireless LAN and 3G, as well as end-to-end IP connectivity (i.e., an all-IP
network). The diversity of traffic services and access technologies creates new
possibilities for both operators and users. On the other hand, it raises new traffic
and design issues.

This book provides traffic analysis, dimensioning, quality of service (QoS),
and design aspects for wireless IP networks with multiple traffic classes.
