CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTER

Title: Wireless Quality-of-Service: Techniques, Standards and Applications

(to be published by Auerbach Publications, Taylor&Francis Group
http://www.crcpress.com/)

http://www.ntu.edu.sg/home/emdma/WirelessQoSCFP.html

Introduction
============

QoS service is becoming a very important and complicated issue in wireless
network design as current wireless networks are achieving much more
bandwidth through the physical layer improvements. With the broad bandwidth,
it is possible for wireless networks to provide transmission services for
different types of traffic, or multimedia traffic. Any type of traffic will
have its unique quality of service requirement, which should be satisfied by
the transmission network. This book is going to systematically address the
QoS service issue in almost all types of nowadays popular wireless networks.
The book addresses the QoS problems and discusses the techniques and
applications, including a variety of standards. This book has the
fundamental introduction on different wireless networks with mechanisms and
the standards and standardization efforts, the QoS service frameworks
specified in the standards and the recent research progress on the
improvements of the performance of the QoS services in all the wireless
networks.
