Networking Fundamentals : Wide, Local and Personal Area Communications
Focusing on the physical layer, ‘Networking Fundamentals’ provides essential information on networking technologies that are used in both wired and wireless networks designed for local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs). The book starts with an overview of telecommunications followed by four parts, each including several chapters.
Part I explains the principles of design and analysis of information networks at the lowest layers. It concentrates on the characteristics of the transmission media, applied transmission and coding, and medium access control.
Parts II & III are devoted to detailed descriptions of important WANs & LANs respectively with Part II describing the Internet as well as cellular networks while Part III covers popular wired LANs and wireless LANs (WLANs), as well as wireless personal area network (WPAN) technologies.
Part IV concludes by examining security, localization and sensor networking. The partitioned structure of the book allows flexibility in teaching the material, encouraging the reader to grasp the more simple concepts and to build on these foundations when moving onto more complex systems.
‘Networking Fundamentals’ contains numerous illustrations, case studies and tables to supplement the text, as well as exercises with solutions at the end of each chapter. There is also a companion website with a password protected solutions manual for instructors, along with other useful resources.
