About this title

Synopsis

Recent spectacular achievements in wireless, mobile, and sensor networks have dramatically changed our lives in many ways. However, the rapid evolution of wireless systems not only promises increased functionality, reliability, availability, and security, as well as putting a wide variety of new services at the users’ disposal ? it also creates a number of design challenges that our research community is now facing. Scientists and engineers need to come up with, and promptly implement, novel wireless network architectures, while system operators and planners rethink their business models and attend to the growing expectations of their customer base. To provide a suitable forum for discussion between researchers, practitioners, and industry representatives interested in new developments in the respective research area, IFIP WG 6. 8 launched three separate series of conferences: MWCN (Mobile and Wireless Communications Networks), PWC (Personal Wireless Communications), and WSAN (WirelessSensor and Actors Networks). In 2008, MWCN and PWC were merged into the IFIP Wireless and Mobile Networking Conference (WMNC 2008), held in Toulouse, France, from September 30 to October 2, 2008. MWNC 2008 and PWC 2008 topics were subsequently revised with a view to covering the whole spectrum of hot issues in wireless and mobile networking. As a result, IFIP WG 6. 8 decided to add WSAN as another WMNC track.

From the Back Cover

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second IFIP WG 6.8 Joint Conference on Wireless and Mobile Networking, WMNC 2009, held in Gdansk, Poland, in September 2009.

The 30 thoroughly revised papers presented together with one invited talk were selected from 65 submissions. The papers are evenly split among three tracks: Personal Wireless Communications (PWC), Wireless Sensor and Actors Networks (WSAN) and Mobile and Wireless Communications Networks (MWCN) reflecting the state of the art, current discussions, and development trends in wireless and mobile networks and services. They are divided in topical sections on IMS interoperability; QoS and multimedia support; network design; sensor networks; trust management and competitive networking; location algorithms; evolution of 3G, 3G/4G and future generation systems; and handover mechanisms.
