Future Wireless and Optical Networks by Shengming Jiang

This book reviews the challenges of all-optical and wireless networks for the future Internet, with a focus on cross-layer design and optimization. Features: presents a thorough introduction to major networking modes and their effect on Internet development; proposes a new structure favorable for all-optical packet switching; discusses a new quality of service (QoS) provisioning approach, which overcomes the scalability problem of IntServ and the coarse QoS granularity of DiffServ; describes the end-to-end arguments in Internet design, before investigating a solution to congestion control problems in multi-hop wireless and all-optical networks; examines how to exploit multiple-input-multiple-output technology to improve network performance in centralized wireless networks; surveys green networking strategies from a quantitative perspective; suggests a strategic vision for possible developments of network technology for the future Internet.

Shengming Jiang is a professor of the College of Information Engineering, Shanghai Maritime University, China. He received his bachelor's degree from the Shanghai Maritime Institute (now Shanghai Maritime University) in 1988, master's and doctoral degrees from the University of Paris VI and University of Versailles Saint-Quentin-En-Yvelines, France respectively, all in computer science. From 1988 to 1990, he was an assistant engineer in the Nanjing Petrol Transportation Company, China. He was a research associate in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and the Computer Science Department at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, from 1995 to 1997. He was then a member of technical staff at the Centre for Wireless Communications, the National University of Singapore, until July 2000, and a senior member of technical staff as well as the acting leader of the network strategic group from 2001 to 2003. He was an associate lead scientist and the leader of the End-to-End QoS Laboratory in the Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R), Singapore until 2004. He was a principal lecturer at the Faculty of Advanced Technology, the University of Glamorgan (now the University of South Wales), UK, from 2007 to 2009. He was also a professor at the School of Electronic and Information Engineering, the South China University of Technology from 2004 to 2013.

His research interest includes networking issues in both wired and wireless networks as well as mobile computing, and he has with more than 25 years of international R&D experience in France, Hong Kong, Singapore, the UK and China. He led and participated in several national science foundation projects for networking technologies in Singapore and China. He has published more than 140 papers on related areas, and many in prestigious journals and conferences such as IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (J-SAC), IEEE Transactions on Communications, and IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications as well as IEEE INFOCOM.
