 Cisco Wireless LAN Security is an in-depth guide to wireless
LAN technology and security, introducing the key aspects of 802.11
security by illustrating major wireless LAN (WLAN) standards that can
protect the entire network. Because a WLAN is less effective as an
isolated piece of the network, this book emphasizes how to effectively
integrate WLAN devices into the wired network while maintaining maximum
security.
Cisco Wireless LAN Security covers the
spectrum of WLAN security, including protocols and specifications,
vulnerabilities and threats, and, especially, deployment patterns and
design guidelines. With a unique combination of theory and practice,
this book addresses fundamental wireless concepts, such as WEP, and
innovations, such as EAP, switching, and management. Each chapter
includes detailed illustrations, checklists, design templates, and
other resources. You will also find generic wireless deployment
patterns based on real-world customer installations and functional
examples of architecture, design, and best practices.  Written by today’s leading experts in industry and academia, Wireless IP
is the first book to take a comprehensive look at the convergence of wireless
and Internet technologies that are giving rise to the mobile wireless Internet.
This cutting-edge resource provides you with an overview of all the elements required
to understand and develop future IP based wireless multimedia communications and
services.
The book shows you how to integrate the latest technologies
in mobility, wireless, and the Internet to achieve workable end-to-end solutions.
You get detailed coverage of wireless IP and its relationship with other mobile
technologies such as GPRS and UMTS. Moreover, this essential reference features
discussions on wireless IP evolution; quality of service; resource management;
TCP/IP in wireless IP networks; handoff, mobility and signaling; and services
and applications. Essential reading for practicing mobile communications engineers,
designers, and engineering managers, the book is also easily adoptable as a
text for graduate-level courses.  As wireless users have become increasingly mobile, tracking their location and
establishing communications links between them has become critical. Location management,
paging, and routing are the key technologies for performing these crucial functions.
This comprehensive book covers past, present, and future advances in location
management and routing protocols for both single-hop and multi-hop mobile wireless
networks.
It provides you with an in-depth examination of mobility, location
management, paging, and radio resources for cellular networks, and it focuses
on routing protocols and medium access control techniques for mobile ad hoc
networks. Key topics discussed in detail include mobility models and traces,
radio resource management, blanket and intelligent paging, location updating,
location area planning, medium access control techniques, and unicast and multicast
routing, as well as routing in next generation wireless and pervasive networks.

As a network administrator, architect, or security professional, you
need to understand the capabilities, limitations, and risks associated
with integrating wireless LAN technology into your current
infrastructure. 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide provides all the information necessary to analyze and deploy wireless networks with confidence.   Reviews the fundamentals and math of radio frequency theory, and the
technologies and tasks required to install, manage, and support
wireless LAN networks. Written by Planet3 Wireless employees, the study
guide compares the two primary spread spectrum techniques, identifies
the hardware components of a wireless network, explains the radiation
patterns of different antennae designs, and characterizes the MAC and
physical layers of wireless LANS |
