WIRELESS AND MOBILE ALL-IP NETWORKS

Looks at the number one advancement currently emerging from 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) in global wireless growth: the development of wireless applications based only on the Internet Protocol (IP) which drives the Web
Focusing on the emerging all-IP core network and applications, this book covers
3G and shows how the all-IP core network can be developed and how applications can be created
Contains review questions and their solutions at the end of each chapter, all of which have been tested, as well as models for implementation
