The first book, Wireless and Mobile Network Architecture, 0471394920, focused on 2G mobile technologies (including some radio interface). This completely new book skips all radio aspects (they have not been standardized yet, and any book written now may be obsolete soon), and focuses on the emerging all-IP core network and applications instead. Broadband wireless networks based on B3G and 4G have been intensively studied in the literature. On the other hand, the all-IP core network and applications that utilize broadband networks are seldom addressed. This book describes the mobile core network protocols and applications based on the 3GPP all-IP core network architecture. The book shows how the all-IP core network can be developed and how applications can be created.
