Heterogeneous Wireless Access Networks provides a unified view of the state-of-the-art protocols and architectures for heterogeneous wireless networking. The chapters cover both the theoretical concepts and system-level implementation issues related to design, analysis, and optimization of architectures and protocols for heterogeneous wireless access networks. The readers will find a rich set of references at the end of each chapter to be very valuable. The book is an important resource for both researchers and practitioners in the field of wireless networks.
