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 ...

While teaching classes on digital transmission and mobile communications for undergraduate and graduate students, I was wondering if it would be possible to write a book capable of giving them some insight about the practical meaning of the concepts, beyond the mathematics; the same insight that exp ...

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 ...

The field of digital communication has evolved rapidly in the past few decades, with commercial applications proliferating in wireline communi- cation networks (e.g., digital subscriber loop, cable, fiber optics), wireless communication (e.g., cell phones and wireless local area networks), and stor- ...

This book is the outcome of the panel discussions held on the special event honor- ing first 50 PhD students of Prof. Ramjee Prasad. Several of his PhD students are today worldwide telecommunication leaders themselves. Over 60 post-docs, PhDs, colleagues and the scientific staff were present at the ...

This book describes how global mobile communication was made. It is written for those who want or need to know how this was achieved e.g.: † Young professionals who want to build their career on GSM and UMTS and need to understand the basics † Strategic and technical planners who want to drive the ...

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 ...

The third generation (3G) mobile communication system is the next big thing in the world of mobile telecommunications. The first generation included analog mobile phones [e.g., Total Access Communications Systems (TACS), Nordic Mobile Telephone (NMT), and Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS)], and t ...

Wireless metropolitan area networks (WirelessMANs) is emerging as a promising broadband wireless access (BWA) technology to provide high-speed, high bandwidth efficiency and high-capacity multimedia services for residential as well as enterprise applications. It is observed that WirelessMAN (e.g., W ...
