This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Wireless, Mobile Networks, WiMo 2011, and of The Third International Conference on Computer Networks and Communications, CoNeCo 2011, held in Ankara, Turkey, in June 2011. The 40 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 202 submissions.

The International Conference on Wireless and Mobile networks (WiMo) aims to bring together innovative ideas and new research trends in wireless and mobile networks. Wireless networks are the best inventions in history. Wireless networking gives you a cheap and easy way to share one Internet connection between multiple computers, eliminating the need for more than one modem. You can even add new computers to your network simply by plugging in a wireless card and switching them on––they have an Internet connection straight away! There aren't many wired networks that can say that. This conference is dedicated to addressing the challenges in the areas of wireless and mobile networks. It looks for significant contributions to wireless and mobile computing in theoretical and practical aspects. The wireless and mobile computing domain emerges from integrating personal computing, networks, communication te- nologies, cellular technology and Internet technology. Modern applications are eme- ing in the area of mobile ad hoc networks and sensor networks. WiMo 2010 intended to cover contributions in both design and analysis in the context of mobile, wireless, ad hoc, and sensor networks. The goal of the conference was to bring together - searchers and practitioners from academia and industry to focus on advanced wireless and mobile computing concepts and establish new collaborations in these areas.

This book brings together a number of papers that represent seminal contributions underlying mobile and wireless network security and privacy. It provides a foundation for implementation and standardization as well as further research. The diverse topics and protocols described in this book give the reader a good idea of the current state-of-the-art technologies in mobile and wireless network security and privacy.

"This book offers cutting edge approaches for the provision of quality of service in wireless local area networks"--Provided by publisher.

This book provides a preview of emerging wireless technologies and their architectural impact on the future mobile Internet. The reader will find an overview of architectural considerations for the mobile Internet, along with more detailed technical discussion of new protocol concepts currently being considered at the research stage. The first chapter starts with a discussion of anticipated mobile/wireless usage scenarios, leading to an identification of new protocol features for the future Internet. This is followed by several chapters that provide in-depth coverage of next-generation wireless standards, ad hoc and mesh network protocols, opportunistic delivery and delay tolerant networks, sensor network architectures and protocols, cognitive radio networks, vehicular networks, security and privacy, and experimental systems for future Internet research. Each of these contributed chapters includes a discussion of new networking requirements for the wireless scenario under consideration, architectural concepts and specific protocol designs, many still at research stage.

Fourth-Generation Wireless Networks: Applications and Innovations presents a comprehensive collection of recent findings in access technologies useful in the architecture of wireless networks.

"This book showcases the work many devoted wireless sensor network researchers all over world, and exhibits the up-to-date developments of WSNs from various perspectives"--Provided by publisher.
