Book Reviews

An excellent book for both research and teaching in all-IP wireless networks

This book is an excellent reference book on state-of-the-art technologies for integrating wireless and mobile networks with the Internet core networks. It focuses on the networking issues, i.e., higher layers network design including architecture, protocols, and services. It provides comprehensive details on implementing mobility management, session management, billing, security guarantees, etc. in third-generation (3G) and beyond 3G (B3G) networks. The book also covers many new technologies such as VoIP, mobile multimedia messaging, session initiation protocol, mobile number portability, integration of WLAN and cellular networks, etc. The extensive bibliography contains all the relevant standards, IETF documents, and research papers on 3G all-IP networks. The book is very informative and timely.

If you are doing research in mobile all-IP networks, this is an excellent book for you by providing a clear system picture and broad details of 3G and B3G networks. If you want to expand your knowledge but are afraid of reading tons of lengthy standards and technical articles, the book is a perfect systematic reference book. It explains each concept in a very clear manner yet with sufficient depth. It is very easy to read and understand. The book is also good for teaching in wireless networking at an advance level. The exercises at the end of each chapter give a good review and focal points of the chapter. They may also help readers/students better understand the concepts and clear their doubts.

A great overview of wireless and mobile network architectures

This book is written Prof. Yi-Bing Lin (an IEEE Fellow, ACM Fellow, AAAS Fellow, and IEE Fellow) who has been extensively involved in developing the wireless networking technologies including IMS and wireless VoIP. This book provides a great overview of wireless and mobile network architectures, while providing appropriate depth for both the novice to learn and reference for more experienced readers.

Finally, a detailed book on all-IP cellular communications!

This book describes All-IP approaches for mobile telecommunication such as IP Multimedia Core Network Subsystem (IMS) that is considered as the heart of converging fixed and mobile networks. The book describes how All-IP approaches provide SIP-based control layer with open interfaces to both the transport and the service layers

This book is an excellent complement to the book
Wireless and Mobile Network Architectures, which focused more on traditional mobile telecommunications based on SS7.
It is great to finally have a comprehensive hand- (and possibly text-) book on all-IP cellular networks.

I have found the review and modeling questions at the end of each chapter an excellent tool to deepen the knowledge given by the authors. The modeling questions apply probabilistic modeling techniques to the topics learned.

An informative book for mobile all-IP networks

In 2001, Lin and Chlamtac published the book Wireless and Mobile Network Architecture (by John Wiley & Sons), which laborated on how voice and data are delivered through the second generation (2G) and the 2.5 generation (2.5G) mobile networks. In this book "Wireless and Mobile All-IP Networks", Lin and Pang focus on the third generation (3G) and the beyond 3G all-IP networks for advanced mobile applications. I found the book to be very informative and well laid out for use as a reference. It has been a life saver in giving a good background on each technology.

Back Cover

Here's your all-IP network handbook for 3G and beyond.

Experts forecast a future in which all telephone services will be delivered over the economical, efficient IP network. In this follow-up to Wireless and Mobile Network Architecture, the bestselling guide to wireless network engineering, Yi-Bing Lin and Al-Chun PAngdelve into third and beyond generation networks to give you a solid foundation for the 3G/B3G environment. They provide an in-depth examination of how the all-IP core network can be developed and how applications are created, with review questions at the end of every chapter to help you hone your skills.

You'll be able to:

Understand mobile core network protocols and applications based on the 3G/B3G all-IP core network architecture
Handle SGSN/GGSN session management functions for IP connection
Use signaling protocols in non-all-IP networks to offer VoIP services
