This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Wired/Wireless Internet Communications, WWIC 2004, held in Frankfurt/Oder, Germany, in February 2004. The 26 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from around 60 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on protocol engineering and energy efficiency in wireless networks; mobility management and mobile devices; transport layer and congestion control; architecture, implementation, and experimentation; network and protocol modeling; wireless network scheduling and analysis; multimedia distribution and group communication; and service discovery.

In the not too distant future, internet access will be dominated by wireless networks. With that, wireless edge using optical core next-generation networks will become as ubiquitous as traditional telephone networks. This means that telecom engineers, chip designers, and engineering students must prepare to meet the challenges and opportunities that the development and deployment of these technologies will bring. Bringing together cutting-edge coverage of wireless and optical networks in a single volume, Internet Networks Wired, Wireless, and Optical Technologies provides a concise yet complete introduction to these dynamic technologies. Filled with case studies, illustrations, and practical examples from industry, the text explains how wireless, wireline, and optical networks work together. It also: Covers WLAN, WPAN, wireless access, 3G/4G cellular, RF transmission Details optical networks involving long-haul and metropolitan networks, optical fiber, photonic devices, and VLSI chips Provides clear instruction on the application of wireless and optical networks Taking into account recent advances in storage, processing, sensors, displays, statistical data analyses, and autonomic systems, this reference provides forward thinking engineers and students with a realistic vision of how the continued evolution of the technologies that touch wireless communication will soon reshape markets and business models around the world.

Welcome to the 3rd International Conference on Wired/Wireless Internet C- munications (WWIC). After a successful start in Las Vegas and a selective c- ference in Germany, this year’s WWIC demonstrated the event’s maturity. The conference was supported by several sponsors, both international and local, and became the o?cial venue for COST Action 290. That said, WWIC has now been established as a top-quality conference to promote research on the convergence of wired and wireless networks. This year we received 117 submissions, which allowed us to organize an - citing program with excellent research results, but required more e?ort from the 54 members of the international Program Committee and the 51 additional reviewers. For each of the 117 submitted papers we asked three independent - viewers to provide their evaluation. Based on an online ballot phase and a TPC meeting organized in Colmar (France), we selected 34 high-quality papers for presentation at the conference. Thus, the acceptance rate for this year was 29%.
