Abstract
The author begins by discussing the background, defining key terms
and showing how wireless information systems can be viewed as a natural
evolution of computing's relentless march toward greater distribution
and ubiquity of access. Next, the research issues faced by designers of
wireless information systems are detailed, and some large-scale
engineering challenges for such designers are presented. The existing
cellular system architecture, evolved from telephony, is compared with
an alternative architecture more closely integrated with a computer
networking view of wireless systems. Existing wireless systems are
reviewed, and the final section presents the author's summary and
conclusions, and charts the future of wireless information systems
