Device-to-device(D2D) communications are now considered as an integral part of future 5G networks which will enable direct communication between user equipment (UE) without unnecessary routing via the network infrastructure. This architecture will result in higher throughputs than conventional cellu ...

This book has grown out of my teaching and research at the University of Surrey and out of my previous experiences in companies such as Philips, Ascom and Motorola. It is primarily intended for use by students in master’s level and enhanced final-year under- graduate courses who are specialising in ...

Evolutionary Computation (EC) deals with problem solving, optimization, and machine learning techniques inspired by principles of natural evolution and ge- netics. Just from this basic definition, it is clear that one of the main features of the research community involved in the study of its theory ...

Wireless penetration has witnessed explosive growth over the last two decades. Accordingly, wireless devices have become much denser per unit area, resulting in an overcrowded usage of wireless resources. To avoid radio interferences and packet collisions, wireless stations have to exchange control ...

The very title of this book is borrowed from the information theory vocabulary, and, quite naturally, it is an outline of this theory that will serve as an introduction. The subject of information theory is the scientific study of communications. To this end it defines a quantitative measurement of ...

Employing multiple transmit and receive antennas, namely using multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems, has proven to be a major breakthrough in providing reliable wireless communication links. Since their invention in the mid-1990s, transmit diversity, achieved through space-time coding, and spatia ...

The idea of writing this book entitled “Cognitive Networked Sensing and Big Data” started with the plan to write a briefing book on wireless distributed computing and cognitive sensing. During our research on large-scale cognitive radio network (and its experimental testbed), we realized that big ...

According to the statistics of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), temporal and geographical variations in the utilization of the as- signed spectrum range from 15% to 85%. The limited available radio spec- trum and the inefficiency in spectrum usage necessitate a new commu- nication paradi ...

Cognitive radio has emerged as a promising technology for maximizing the utiliza- tion of the limited radio bandwidth while accommodating the increasing amount of services and applications in wireless networks. A cognitive radio (CR) transceiver is able to adapt to the dynamic radio environment and ...

The term economics is generally understood to mean sound management. This is associated with openness, good faith, accurate figures and integrity in company accounts, with transparency ensured through satisfactory standards of good practice in relation to investors and the clients who have placed th ...
