From entertainment to telephony, emerging wireless systems will make possible a new
generation of wireless multimedia applications. To satisfy users, network designers and
developers must integrate end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) support throughout all their
underlying networks: WANs, WLANs, WPANs, and "last-mile" WLL or satellite distribution
systems. However, wireless network standards typically focus on signaling, leaving crucial QoS
issues to implementers. Multimedia Wireless Networks is the first book to help network
professionals systematically address QoS in today's most important wireless networks-and
tomorrow's.
l Why users' wireless multimedia performance requirements will require extensive QoS
support
l The fundamentals of QoS - and how they drive network design
l WLAN standards from the multimedia network designer's viewpoint: IEEE 802.11,
HiperLAN, and HomeRF
l Wireless MANs: introducing the new 802.16 WirelessMAN standard
l Integrating QoS into IEEE 802.15 and Bluetooth wireless personal area networks
l QoS in current and emerging cellular and satellite networks

Preface
The introduction of wireless communication is dramatically changing our lives. The ability to
communicate anytime, anywhere increases our quality of lives and improves our business
productivity. The recent technological developments that allow us to execute bandwidth-hungry
multimedia applications over the wireless media add new dimensions to our ability to
communicate. This opens an array of exciting opportunities in business, residential, healthcare,
education, leisure, and many other areas. Wireless videoconferencing will connect us with
business partners and family members. Remote video medical consultation will enhance care in
rural areas and at the accident scene. Interactive games that include video and graphics with
partners over the globe will add new dimensions not only to our leisure opportunities but also
to provisioning of an effective remote learning environment.
Such opportunities are possible due to the recent technology developments in 1) user device
miniaturization, which enables adequate computation power and display in small mobile
handheld devices, and 2) provisioning of significantly broader wireless links for carrying
multimedia traffic. Such broader links have been introduced in the wide-ranging wireless
networks including very short-range personal wireless networks, short-range local area
networks, and longer range metropolitan, cellular, and satellite networks. Because of nature of
the wireless environment, these links are shared among many users executing multiple
applications, each requiring different levels of quality of service (QoS) support. Therefore, each
wireless network needs to incorporate bandwidth mediation policies that enable QoS support to
the different multimedia applications. It is interesting to note that the wireless networks'
standards do not provide the algorithms required for such bandwidth mediation policies. Such
policies are the motivation for writing this book.
Wireless networks are described in numerous public domain documents produced by standard
organizations in the U.S., Europe, Asia, and other continents whose members include hundreds
of participants representing companies all over the world. These organizations include IEEE
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), ETSI (the European Telecommunications
Standards Institute), and ITU (International Telecommunication Union). The fact that these
standards are produced by such an impressive collaboration of participants and are public
domain is the basis for making these standards a true, easy means for global communication.
Next generations of wireless networks include Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs),
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks (WMANs), and
cellular and satellite networks (see Figure 1).
