From the reviews: "How can you provide mobile users with seamless access to multiple wireless networks in a given area? Heterogeneous Wireless Access Networks addresses this challenge. Providing such a multiple-access environment requires one to take a wide range of factors into consideration, including power optimization, spectrum sharing, mobility management, routing and load balancing-and even novel on-demand pricing strategies. ... written by an international cast of experts ... . The book is intended as a resource for researchers and practitioners in the field." (Bogdan Hoanca, Optics & Photonics News, April, 2010)
