Wireless Networks: From the Physical Layer to Communication, Computing, Sensing and Control
內容描述
Description
This multidisciplinary volume originates from lectures
presented at a short course on wireless communications in Capri, Italy. This
globally attended conference has produced an exceptional book written by
pioneers in the field. Lecturers at Capri included pillars in the fields of
electromagnetics, communications, information technology and mathematics. As
communications technology becomes increasingly wireless, an interdisciplinary
viewpoint is necessary for professionals to correct problems and avoid others
before they occur. Wireless Networks covers critical technology within
WLAN, ad hoc networks, data distribution, TV, radio, and personal mobile
devices. As networks become wireless, engineers face increased difficulty
securing its malleable boundaries. This book discusses security solutions such
as sensor technology that prevent unwanted intrusion. Connectivity is also
addressed, featuring chapters on antennas, bandwidth and frequencies. Editors
Franceschetti and Stornelli have done a great service to the wireless
communications community in creating a compendium that delivers this spectrum
of essential information in one reference.
