Wireless technology has been evolving at a breakneck speed. The total number of cell-phones in use (as of 2011) was over 6 billion for a 7 billion world population [1] constituting 87% of the world population. Additionally, with user convenience be- coming paramount, more and more functions are bein ...

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 capability of radio waves to provide almost instantaneous distant communications without interconnecting wires was a major factor in the explosive growth of communica- tions during the 20th century. With the dawn of the 21st century, the future for communi- cations systems seems limitless. The i ...

This thesis is about wireless communication in shared radio spectrum. Its origin and motivation is ideally represented by the two quotations from above. In this thesis, the support of Quality-of-Service (QoS) in cognitive radio networks is analyzed. New approaches to distributed coordination of cogn ...

The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) allows an end user to send and receive data in packet transfer mode within a public land mobile network (PLMN) without using a permanent connection between the mobile station (MS) and the external network during data transfer. This way, GPRS opti- mizes the us ...

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 ...

Following chapter introduces the mobile communication, gives a short history of wireless communication evolution, and highlights some application scenarios predestined for the use of mobile devices. Cellular and wireless based systems related to different generations of mobile communication, includi ...

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 ...

Providing QoS while optimizing the LTE network in a cost efficient manner is very challenging. Thus, radio scheduling is one of the most important functions in mobile broadband networks. The design of a mobile network radio scheduler holds several objectives that need to be satisfied, for example: t ...

Currently, the information and communications technology (ICT) industry sector accounts for about 2–6% of the energy consumption worldwide, and a significant por- tion of this is contributed by the wireless and mobile communications industry. With the proliferation of wireless data applications, wi ...
