Scalability White Papers
Scalability of Wireless Networks
Overview The growth of modern communication infrastructures, such as the Internet and various wireless networks, over the last decade has surpassed the expectations of everyone. Indeed, going back in time to the origins of these networks, it would have been hard even to imagine the importance and scale to which these networks have developed. Now, projecting into the future, the authors strongly believe that this growth trend will only continue, if not accelerate. Hence, the communication devices and protocols of today must be capable of operating with the same efficiency in the very large-scale networks of the future. One of the basic concerns in building large-scale networks is that minor inefficiencies which can be well tolerated in small networks can accumulate and become dominant factors in large networks.
