Rapid deployment and acceptance of broadband networks, including the 802.11 a/b/g, 3G cellular networks, WiMAX, and emerging 4G cellular IP networks, have sparked a growing reliance on voice over IP and the quickly emerging IP TV and Mobile TV. Providing the necessary background and technical understanding to stay abreast of and even ahead of the IP trend, IP Communications and Services for NGN explores IP development for the delivery of next generation mobile services.

Packed with detailed illustrations, this cutting-edge reference examines the primary IP...

Broadband communications has become the major focus for industries offering rich multimedia IP services in next generation networks. This book deals with the state-of-the-art and the underlying principles of key technologies which facilitate broadband telecommunications, including millimetre wave gigabit Ethernet, terahertz communication, multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology, orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM), ultra wideband (UWB), and the fourth generation (4G) network technologies. It illustrates the use of these technologies, including high resolution...

Near field communication devices and the emerging field of Internet of things (IoT) require efficient, short range communication techniques. Classical telecommunication theory, on the one hand, has so far focused on radiating electromagnetic signals, which is more suited to terrestrial communication systems, but on the other hand, considerable research and applications of inductive methods have emerged in the last decade as innovative approaches for secure, short range communications by changing the paradigm of an established model of electromagnetic communications. Humanity has witnessed the...
