That book presented wireless networking as the enabling communications technology of the 1990s and beyond. Now, only a decade later, mobile and portable telephones and wireless data services are a familiar part of our daily lives, as the twenty-first century witnesses widespread deployment of wireless networks, which has revolutionized the concept of communication and information processing for business, professional, and private applications. The field of wireless communications continues to experience unprecedented market growth, as evidenced by over 1.5 billion cellular telephone subscribers worldwide and the rapid increase in the size of the wireless local area network market for office, home, and public access applications.

The book is written from a systems engineering perspective, by which we mean that the various technical topics are presented in the context of ongoing development of specific new systems and services, as well as key recent developments in national and international spectrum allocations and standards.

Our method of presentation is to organize the myriad of emerging wireless technologies into logical categories that reflect the variety of perspectives that users have toward different networks and services. The book addresses the major segments of wireless technology: first-, second-, and third-generation wide-area cellular networks, wireless local area networks (WLANs), and wireless personal area networks (WPANs), with special attention to the emerging location-aware broadband wireless sensor and ad hoc networks. Although the book covers technology applicable to a wide range of wireless systems, as in the first edition, particular attention is given to indoor wireless communications, an area that is not treated in great depth in most other books.
