These people inspired my knowledge and helped directly or indirectly with many aspects of the writing process, as well as ideas of topics of interest to include in this book. These include, Ibrahim Habib, City University of New York, Ted Rappaport, University of Texas-Austin, K. C. Chen, National Taiwan University, and H-H. Chen, National Sun-Yat Sen University in Taiwan, to name a few. I am also very thankful to my graduate students Ghassen Ben Brahim, Mohamed Bourouha, and Anupama Raju for their help as well as Kluwer editors Ana Bozicevic and Alex Greene who facilitated many processing issues to get this work finished at a fast pace. I also would like to thank all the contributors to the chapters—their patience during this process was very much appreciated. This work is dedicated to my parents, my wife Saida and my kids Nadra, Fatma, Maher, Zainab, Sara, and Safa for their patience and support during the time I spent working on this project. vii This page intentionally left blank PREFACE Since the early 1990s, the wireless communications field has witnessed explosive growth. The wide range of applications and existing new technologies nowadays stimulated this enormous growth and encouraged wireless applications. The new wireless networks will support heterogeneous traffic, consisting of voice, video, and data (multimedia). This necessitated looking at new wireless generation technologies and enhance its capabilities. This includes new standards, new levels of Quality of Service (QoS), new sets of protocols and architectures, noise reduction, power control, performance enhancement, link and mobility management, nomadic and wireless networks security, and ad-hoc architectures. Many of these topics are covered in this textbook. The aim of this book is research and development in the area of broadband wireless communications and sensor networks. It is intended for researchers that need to learn more and do research on these topics. But, it is assumed that the reader has some background about wireless communications and networking. In addition to background in each of the chapters, an in-depth analysis is presented to help our readers gain more R&D insights in any of these areas. The book is comprised of 22 chapters, written by a group of well-known experts in their respective fields. Many of them have great industrial experience mixed with proper academic background. The first chapter discusses peer-to-peer networking in mobile communications based on SIP. J. Huber of Siemens, Germany, describes the evolution path of the Global System for Mobile Communications towards UMTS that integrates Internet technologies and provides a platform for the development of new mobile specific services. These services include new developments that will incorporate mobility and person-to-person communications with real-time video, sound, and voice, describing the evolutionary path in achieving this objective. The second chapter, written by A. Boukerche from the University of Ottawa, Canada, discusses some protocols for data propagation in wireless sensor networks. These protocols cover large numbers of these sensors that can be deployed in areas of interest, such as inaccessible terrains or disaster places, and ix
