"The Wireless Mobile Internet - Architectures, Protocols and Services is the first complete reference on the wireless Internet. It elegantly bridges the literary gap that exists between cellular wireless and computer communications. The author summarises the relevant standards activities (including the current status of wireless IP), provides updates on state-of-the-art technologies and protocols, describes various network models in detail and suggests specific techniques for implementing services." "This easy-to-read reference text will prove essential reading for anyone seeking to bridge the gap between the Internet and telecommunications disciplines, be they practising engineers, industrial or academic researchers or advanced level students."--Jacket
