One traditional view of how wireless networks evolve is of a continuous, inevitable progres- sion to higher link speeds, combined with greater mobility over wider areas. This standpoint certainly captures the development from first and second generation cellular systems focused on voice support, and ...

At present, there is a strong worldwide push toward bringing fiber closer to indi- vidual homes and businesses. Fiber-to-the-Home/Business (FTTH/B) or close to it networks are poised to become the next major success story for optical fiber com- munications. In fact, FTTH connections are currently ex ...

Emerging technologies such as WiFi and WiMAX are profoundly changing the landscape of wireless broadband.  As  we evolve into future generation wireless networks, a primary challenge is the support of high data rate, integrated multi- media type traffic over a unified platform. Due to its ...

The telecommunications industry has seen a rapid boost within the last decade. New realities and visions of functionalities in various telecommunications networks have brought forward the concept of next-generation networks (NGNs). The competitions among operators for support- ing various services, ...

The aim of this book, the first of two volumes, is to present selected research that has been undertaken under COST Action IC0902 ‘‘Cognitive Radio and Net- working for Cooperative Coexistence of Heterogeneous Wireless Networks’’ (http://newyork.ing.uniroma1.it/IC0902/). COST (European Cooperati ...

Over the past few decades, wireless communications and networking have witnessed an unprecedented growth, and have become pervasive much sooner than anyone could have predicted. For example, cellular wireless networks are expected to become the dominant and ubiquitous telecommunication means in the ...

It is commonly accepted today that optical fiber communications have revolutionized telecommunications. Indeed, dramatic changes have been induced in the way we interact with our relatives, friends, and colleagues: we retrieve information, we entertain and educate ourselves, we buy and sell, we orga ...

When joining Siemens in 2001, I also extended my research interest towards radio net- work planning methodologies. This area of research brought together my personal interest in mobile communications and in the design of efficient algorithms and data structures. Between 2001 and 2003, I participated ...

With the advancement of technology and miniaturization of electronic devices, applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can be seen in diverse areas in our lives. In fact, these WSNs have gained a lot of attention from both the research community and industry, making them easily available on t ...

The telecommunications industry is undoubtedly in a period of radical change with the advent of mobile broadband radio access and the rapid convergence of Internet and mobile services. Some of these changes have been enabled by a fundamental shift in the underlying technologies; mobile networks are ...
