Opis

This book explores the availability and applicability of using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) cellular software and smartphone hardware platforms to address individual communication requirements for ships at sea and aircraft in flight. The book lays out the evidence in favor of incorporation of COTS technology aboard ships to address communications. Individual communication needs facilitated by devices include text, chat, voice, position location information, imagery and map viewing, streaming video, web browsing, and email. The book also explores current research in micro mobile communication networks that have been growing exponentially in the past year including a host of different network types: ad hoc, smartphone, access point and sensors. We look at the interactions between them (including physical, data link, medium access-control, routing, transport, and application). The topics of security, efficiency, mobility, health risk, scalability, and their unique characteristics in wireless networks are discussed. Finally, the researcher explores advanced architectures, protocols, and satellite support for complex, dynamic, developing recursive network architectures, protocols, and looks at devices for complex, dynamic, high-performance communication in hostile and extremely remote locations such as the high sea.
