Receive comprehensive instruction on the fundamentals of wireless security from three leading international voices in the field Security in Wireless Communication Networksdelivers a thorough grounding in wireless communication security. The distinguished authors pay particular attention to wireless specific issues, like authentication protocols for various wireless communication networks,encryption algorithms and integrity schemes on radio channels, lessons learned from designing secure wireless systems and standardization for security in wireless systems. The book addresses how engineers, administrators, and others involved in the design and maintenance of wireless networks can achieve security while retaining the broadcast nature of the system, with all of its inherent harshness and interference. Readers will learn: A comprehensive introduction to the background of wireless communication network security, including a broad overview of wireless communication networks, security services, the mathematics crucial to the subject, and cryptographic techniquesAn exploration of wireless local area network security, including Bluetooth security, Wi-Fi security, and body area network securityAn examination of wide area wireless network security, including treatments of 2G, 3G, and 4GDiscussions of future development in wireless security, including 5G, and vehicular ad-hoc network security Perfect for undergraduate and graduate students in programs related to wireless communication, Security in Wireless Communication Networks will also earn a place in the libraries of professors, researchers, scientists, engineers, industry managers, consultants, and members of government security agencies who seek to improve their understanding of wireless security protocols and practices.

Future wireless communication systems should be operating mainly, if not completely, on burst data services carrying multimedia traffic. The need to support high-speed burst traffic has already posed a great challenge to all currently available air-link technologies based either on TDMA or CDMA. The first generation CDMA technology has been used in both 2G and 3G mobile cellular standards and it has been suggested that it is not suitable for high-speed burst-type traffic. There are many problems with the first generation CDMA technology, such as its low spreading efficiency, interference-limited capacity and the need for precision power control, etc... 'The Next Generation Technologies' will offer first-hand information on how to make use of various innovative technologies to implement the next generation CDMA technology. As an all-in-one reference for telecommunications engineers, advanced R & D personnels, undergraduate and postgraduate students, this book is must-read material. Addresses various important issues about the next generation CDMA technologies as the major air-link technology for beyond 3G wireless applications. Covers topics from next generation CDMA system modelling to analytical methodology, starting with the basics and progressing to advanced research topics. Contains many new and previously unpublished research results. Introduces many innovative CDMA technologies such as DS/CC-CDMA, OS/CC-CDMA, space-time complementary coding CDMA, M-ary CDMA, optical complementary coded CDMA, etc.

Next Generation Wireless Systems and Networks offers an expert view of cutting edge Beyond 3rd Generation (B3G) wireless applications. This self-contained reference combines the basics of wireless communications, such as 3G wireless standards, spread spectrum and CDMA systems, with a more advanced level research-oriented approach to B3G communications, eliminating the need to refer to other material. This book will provide readers with the most up-to-date technological developments in wireless communication systems/networks and introduces the major 3G standards, such as W-CDMA, CDMA2000 and TD-SCDMA. It also includes a focus on cognitive radio technology and 3GPP E-UTRA technology; areas which have not been well covered elsewhere. Covers many hot topics in the area of next generation wireless from the authors’ own research, including: Bluetooth, all-IP wireless networking, power-efficient and bandwidth-efficient air-link technologies, and multi-user signal processing in B3G wirelessClear, step-by-step progression throughout the book will provide the reader with a thorough grounding in the basic topics before moving on to more advanced materialAddresses various important topics on wireless communication systems and networks that have emerged only very recently, such as Super-3G technology, 4G wireless, UWB, OFDMA and MIMOIncludes a wealth of explanatory tables and illustrations This essential reference will prove invaluable to senior undergraduate and postgraduate students, academics and researchers. It will also be of interest to telecommunications engineers wishing to further their knowledge in this field.
