According to a report of United Nations, more than two-thirds of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050. In response to the enormous challenges of urbanization such as traffic congestion and environmental pollution, many cities embrace the Smart City concept to optimize city operations. This course aims to find out "What made Smart City smart" by exploring the key building blocks of Smart City, which are sensors, networks, and data analysis technologies.
This book focuses on the fundamental issues of networking as well as approaches towards addressing these issues. Beginning with application-level protocols and then working down the protocol stack, an early emphasis is placed on application-layer paradigms and application programming interfaces to allow readers to touch on protocols and networking concepts in the context of applications they will use in the industry. This third edition contains a new chapter on wireless and mobile networking, including in-depth coverage of Wi-Fi, Mobile IP, and GSM, and expanded and revised sections on peer-to-peer networking, BGP, wireless security, DNS, and more.
