Abstract
|
The
IP protocol stack can be considered as the general
framework in which networks and applications will
develop all their potential in the next future.
This fact that is already a reality for wired networks,
it is expected to be extended to the wireless environment.
It is in this context that the tutorial aims to
present the most important aspects related to an
all wireless/mobile IP deployment. So, after a fast
review of the main TCP-UDP/IP characteristics, the
behavior of the transport protocols over wireless
links will be presented and justified. Different
techniques designed to cope with wireless link impairments
like Performance Enhancing Proxies (PEP) and protocol
boosters will be presented. Finally, a possible
future scenario based on cooperation between 3G
networks and WLAN/WPAN infrastructures will be discussed.

Short
Biography of the Speaker(s):
Ramjee Prasad was born in Babhnaur (Gaya), India, on July
1, 1946. He is now a Dutch citizen. He received his B.Sc. (eng.)
from the Bihar Institute of Technology, Sindri, India, and his
M. Sc. (eng.) and Ph. D. from Birla Institute of Technology (BIT),
Ranchi, India, in 1968, 1970, and 1979, respectively.
He joined BIT as a senior research fellow in 1970 and became an
associate professor in 1980. While he was with BIT, he supervised
a number of research projects in the area of microwave and plasma
engineering. From 1983 to 1988, he was with the University of
Dar es Salaam (UDSM), Tanzania, where he became a professor of
telecommunications in the Department of Electrical Engineering
in 1986. At UDSM, he was responsible for the collaborative project
Satellite Communications for Rural Zones with Eindhoven University
of Technology, The Netherlands. From February 1988 through May
1999, he was with the Telecommunications and Traffic Control Systems
Group at DUT, where he was actively involved in the area of wireless
personal and multimedia communications (WPMC). He was the founding
head and program director of the Center for Wireless and Personal
Communications (CEWPC) of International Research Center for Telecommunications
– Transmission and Radar (IRCTR). Since June 1999, Dr. Prasad
has been with Aalborg University, as the codirector of the Center
for Person Kommunikation (CPK), and holds the chair of wireless
information and multimedia communications. He was involved in
the European ACTS project FRAMES (Future Radio Wideband Multiple
Access Systems) as a DUT project leader. He is a project leader
of several international, industrially funded projects. He has
published over 300 technical papers, contributed to several books,
and has authored, co-authored, and edited nine books: CDMA for
Wireless Personal Communications, Universal Wireless Personal
Communications, Wideband CDMA for Third Generation Mobile Communications,
OFDM for Wireless Multimedia Communications, Third Generation
Mobile Communication Systems, WCDMA: Towards IP Mobility and Mobile
Internet, Towards a Global 3G System: Advanced Mobile Communications
in Europe, Volumes 1 & 2, and IP/ATM Mobile Satellite Networks,
all published by Artech House. His current research interests
lie in Wireless networks, packet communications, multiple-access
protocols, advanced radio techniques, and multimedia communications.
Dr. Prasad has served as a member of the advisory and program
committees of several IEEE international conferences. He has also
presented keynote speeches, and delivered papers and tutorials
on WPMC at various universities, technical institutions, and IEEE
conferences. He was also a member of the European cooperation
in the scientific and technical research (COST-231) project dealing
with the evolution of land mobile radio (including personal) communications
as an expert for The Netherlands, and he was a member of the COST-259
project. He was the founder and chairman of the IEEE Vehicular
Technology/Communications Society Joint Chapter, Benelux Section,
and is now the honorary chairman. In addition, Dr. Prasad is the
founder of the IEEE Symposium on Communications and Vehicular
Technology (SCVT) in the Benelux, and he was the symposium chairman
of SCVT’93.
In addition, Dr. Prasad is the coordinating editor and editor-in-chief
of the Kluwer International Journal on Wireless Personal Communications
and a member of the editorial board of other international journals,
including the IEEE Communications Magazine and IEE Electronics
Communication Engineering Journal . He was the technical program
chairman of the PIMRC’94 International Symposium held in The Hague,
The Netherlands, from September 19-23, 1994 and also of the Third
Communication Theory Mini-Conference in Conjunction with GLOBECOM’94,
held in San Francisco, California, from November 27-30, 1994.
He was the conference chairman of the fiftieth IEEE Vehicular
Technology Conference and the steering committee chairman of the
second International Symposium WPMC, both held in Amsterdam, The
Netherlands, from September 19-23, 1999. He was the general chairman
of WPMC’01 which was held in Aalborg, Denmark, from September
9-12, 2001.
Dr. Prasad is also the founding chairman of the European Center
of Excellence in Telecommunications, known as HERMES. He is a
fellow of IEE, a fellow of IETE, a senior member of IEEE, a member
of The Netherlands Electronics and Radio Society (NERG), and a
member of IDA (Engineering Society in Denmark).
Luis Muñoz ( luis@tlmat.unican.es ) is associate professor
at the University of Cantabria. He received a degree in telecommunications
engineering and a Ph.D. degree from the Technical University of
Cataluña (UPC), Spain in 1990 and 1995, respectively. He joined
the Communications Engineering Department in 1990 where he has
been involved in different national and international projects,
the latter within the ACTS and IST programs, related to voice
and data transmission over wired and wireless infrastructures.
His current research interests lie in the design and implementation
of ad hoc routing and link layer control mechanisms for wireless
Internet infrastructures, medium access protocols and channel
coding.
