Personal Wireless Communications Ifip Tc6/Wg6.8 Working Conference on Personal Wireless Communications (Pwc'2000), September 14-15, 2000, Gdansk, Poland

Wireless systems for mobile communication is one of the most rapidly expanding fields in digital telecommunications. Such hot topics as wireless Internet, mobile access to multimedia services and wireless convergence systems are likely to affect the whole of the information society and will pose intellectual challenges to researchers in the foreseeable future. Transmission techniques like WCDMA, user-oriented protocols like WAP and communication structures like LEO are just a few tools that seem to usher in the era of unlimited resource availability. Personal Wireless Communications addresses these issues, with 17 regular papers and 4 invited papers by leading researchers in the area of wireless communications. The volume comprises the proceedings of the Working Conference on Personal Wireless Communications (PWC'2000), which was sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and held in Gdansk, Poland in September 2000. The contributions cover a wide range of topics, from 3G cellular systems to wireless Internet and WAP design to wireless LAN and ATM; from speech coding and antenna design to teletraffic modelling and protocol evaluation. The book is thus essential reading for theoreticians and engineers interested in the current progress in wireless systems, as well as for IT students and researchers.IFIP TC6/WG6.8 Working Conference on Personal Wireless Communications Staff is the author of 'Personal Wireless Communications Ifip Tc6/Wg6.8 Working Conference on Personal Wireless Communications (Pwc'2000), September 14-15, 2000, Gdansk, Poland' with ISBN 9780792379416 and ISBN 0792379411.
