A comprehensive, encompassing and accessible text examining a
wide range of key Wireless Networking and Localization
technologies

This book provides a unified treatment of issues related to all
wireless access and wireless localization techniques. The
book reflects principles of design and deployment of infrastructure
for wireless access and localization for wide, local, and personal
networking. Description of wireless access methods
includes design and deployment of traditional TDMA and CDMA
technologies and emerging Long Term Evolution (LTE) techniques for
wide area cellular networks, the IEEE 802.11/WiFi wireless local
area networks as well as IEEE 802.15 Bluetooth, ZigBee, Ultra
Wideband (UWB), RF Microwave and body area networks used for sensor
and ad hoc networks. The principles of wireless
localization techniques using time-of-arrival and
received-signal-strength of the wireless signal used in military
and commercial applications in smart devices operating in urban,
indoor and inside the human body localization are explained and
compared.

Questions, problem sets and hands-on projects enhances the
learning experience for students to understand and appreciate the
subject. These include analytical and practical examples with
software projects to challenge students in practically important
simulation problems, and problem sets that use MatLab.

Key features:

* Provides a broad coverage of main wireless technologies
including emerging technical developments such as body area
networking and cyber physical systems

* Written in a tutorial form that can be used by students and
researchers in the field

* Includes practical examples and software projects to challenge
students in practically important simulation problems
