Space/Terrestrial Mobile Networks Internet Access and QoSSupport covers the design of a Global Mobile Broadband System(GMBS) based on the results of the European Commission's FrameworkProgramme 5 Information Society Technologies (IST) Project SUITED.Many of the latest concept in mobility solutions, network designtechniques and internet technologies are presented. The SUITEDproject has addressed a number of technical issues that are verymuch state-of-the-art. The presentation of such material in theform of a design of a real network provides a unique source ofinformation.
This book:
* Addresses the important topic of heterogeneous networks and theunderlying tecyhnologies
* Describes how to design an integrated satellite/terrestrialinfrastructure where all the network components are fully mergedtogether and integrated with the Internet Core network
* Presents the service scenarios and system requirements of theGlobal Mobile Broadband System (GMBS)
* Discusses the necessary QoS support and defines the noveladmission control scheme Gauge & Gate Reservation withIndependent Probing (GRIP)
* Covers mobility management including Mobile-IP support and aQoS Support Module (QASM)
* Describes the functional and network architectures and presentssignalling protocols for mobility management in GMBS
* Presents the design of signalling protocols and theirimplementation using the Specification and Description Language(SDL)
Space/Terrestrial Mobile Networks Internet Access and QoSSupport has an accessible and practical approach to the subjectand addresses in detail, the important topic of heterogeneousnetworks and the underlying technologies that make this conceptpossible.
