Wiley-Interscience (February 11, 2008) | PDF(file-218pages) | 3.3mb Technologies for Home Networking /bySudhir Dixit(Editor),Ramjee Prasad(Editor) Description The purpose of this book is to bridge the gap between wireless networking and service research communities who have hitherto confined their work to their respective specialties. It not only focuses on the latest technology enablers for speedier and more reliable wireless networking in the home, but also integrates these enablers to provide workable end-to-end solutions from a user's perspective. The scope is limited to approaches that will enhance the user's experience in consuming content in the private and secure setting of the home.
