Wireless and Mobile Networking

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second IFIP WG 6.8 Joint Conference on Wireless and Mobile Networking, WMNC 2009, held in Gdansk, Poland, in September 2009.

The 30 thoroughly revised papers presented together with one invited talk were selected from 65 submissions. The papers are evenly split among three tracks: Personal Wireless Communications (PWC), Wireless Sensor and Actors Networks (WSAN) and Mobile and Wireless Communications Networks (MWCN) reflecting the state of the art, current discussions, and development trends in wireless and mobile networks and services. They are divided in topical sections on IMS interoperability; QoS and multimedia support; network design; sensor networks; trust management and competitive networking; location algorithms; evolution of 3G, 3G/4G and future generation systems; and handover mechanisms.
