Broadband Communications - Ulrich, Roya

. .

Résumé :
The book presents the state-of-the-art in both the theory and practice of advanced communication technology. The book addresses the scientific and engineering aspects of future broadband communication technologies, including aspects of traffic (source) characterization, test and measurement, routing and multicasting, protocols, network management, traffic control and performance evaluation.
