Throughout the course of my work in multihop mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) over the last several years, I reached the conclusion that mobility models and perfor- mance metrics need to be treated in detail in designing these networks that are the ultimatefrontierinwirelesscommunications. Awidevariet ...

With the rapid growth in the number of wireless applications, services and devices, using a single wireless technology such as a second generation (2G) and third gener- ation (3G) wireless system would not be efficient to deliver high speed data rate and quality-of-service (QoS) support to mobile us ...

Complex networks are powerful allies of our quest to tackle complexity in all of science. Many lines can be written about the benefits of using networks to study complex systems. Nevertheless, if I had to name their single most appealing property,Iwouldsaysimplicity.Onecanmaptheinteractingelementsof ...

Microwave radio network design is a subset of activities that constitute the overall transmission network design. Transmission networks are sometimes called transport networks, access networks, or connectivity networks. For many wireless carriers, microwave is becoming a popu- lar preference over wi ...

When we started thinking about writing the first edition of this book a few years ago, we had been working together for more than five years on the borderline between propagation and signal processing. Therefore, it is not surprising that this book deals with propagation models and design tools for ...

There is a phenomenal burst of research activities in mobile cloud computing systems, which extends cloud computing functions, ser- vices, and results to the world of future mobile communications applications, and the paradigm of cloud computing and virtualization to mobile networks. Mobile applicat ...

This paper covers the keynote address delivered by the Chairman of the COST Action 285 at the Symposium. It outlines the studies undertaken by the members of the Action with the objective of enhancing existing modeling and simulation tools and to develop new ones for research in emerging multiservic ...

Notwithstanding its infancy, wireless mesh networking (WMN) is a hot and growing field. Wireless mesh networks began in the military, but have since become of great interest for commercial use in the last decade, both in local area networks and metropolitan area networks. The attractiveness of mesh ...

Advances in communication and networking technologies are rapidly making ubiq- uitous network connectivity a reality. Wireless networks are indispensable for supporting such access anywhere and at any time. Among various types of wire- less networks, multihop wireless networks (MWNs) have been attra ...
