The continuing growth of wireless networks is being driven by ease of installation, flexibility and mobility, offering gains in efficiency, accuracy and lower business costs. This fresh perspective from two experts in the field provides professionals with a practical approach to design implementation, evaluation and problem-solving, which underscores its uniqueness as a hands-on guide to next generation wireless communications systems. The book offers practitioners a wealth of information on WLAN (wireless local area network) implementation, deployment and results. Key topics include: IP networking for wireless; wireless networking and Internet access standards; changes in the IEEE 802.11 standard; system design and implementation; and performance analysis.

Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) offer practitioners an effective way to achieve network connectivity in difficult wiring areas and provide enhanced flexibility for moving and extending networks. Today the most critical WLAN/Wireless IP (Internet Protocol) issues involve security, mobility, and quality of service, and this practical new resource addresses these hot topics headon. The book gives professionals a solid understanding of important standards and presents numerous networking options for their challenging projects in the field. Moreover, practitioners find guidance on deployment, insights on interworking with third generation mobile communications systems, and discussions on the market and business aspects of WLANS.

The 5G mobile system is a culmination of technological evolution of communication technologies, including IP based services, virtualization, the rise of smartphones, IoT and the convergence of wired and wireless networks. With the evolution of 5G mobile connectivity, its security mechanism needs to adapt to a wide range of users and technological shifts.This book provides a simplified view of 5G security, bridging the gap between complex technical standards and practical understanding. Technical topics covered in this book include:Primary and secondary authenticationsSlice authenticationsApplication-oriented authentication and key management support called AKMANon-3GPP access and converged wireline–wireless authenticationNon-public networkUAV USS authentication and authorizationVariability in 5G security feature adoptionAs mobile networks have become an integral part of modern society and critical infrastructure, this book is a timely insight into how 5G security is structured, applied and shaped by the technological and regulatory forces.
