Features: This book is specifically written as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in computer science and engineering and related fields. Its broad application prospects in the business and industrial sectors make it one of the current popular courses. Wireless and mobile communications are experiencing growing applications in commercial, educational, and military defense fields. Based on the characteristics of special applications, wireless and mobile communications can be used for local systems and industrial systems, or in commercial and military environments. Commercial systems often face challenges such as system scale, the number of distributed infrastructure access points, and the number of users at each access point, requiring reliable transmission and reception of information in wireless switching. In military defense system applications, traditional wireless systems, satellite systems, and special networks formed by mobile users all have significant potential advantages. The end-to-end information transmission model requires addressing energy consumption issues in large-scale areas. Other issues include channel allocation problems based on addressing, communication types, mobile modes, and routing technologies. The authors of this book have noticed the lack of textbooks on wireless and mobile communications for senior undergraduate students in computer science and engineering, electrical engineering, and related fields. They have provided systematic teaching materials, enhanced the availability of higher education talent, shortened the training period for new hires in the wireless application industry, and encouraged researchers to further explore this field. The book explains how mobile systems work, how they support mobility, how infrastructure supports the system, and how different functional components interact. Each chapter emphasizes qualitative descriptions of wireless systems and performance parameters, along with practical application annotations. It also introduces the latest developments in the field of wireless and mobile computing today. This book is suitable for undergraduate courses on wireless technology and mobile systems in computer science, computer engineering, and related disciplines at universities and colleges.
