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 ...

This books presents the research work of COST 273 Towards Mobile Broadband Multimedia Networks, hence, it reports on the work performed and on the results achieved within the project by its participants. The material presented here corresponds to the results obtained in four years of collaborative w ...

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 ...

Never have telecommunications operations and network management been so important. Never has it been more important to move away from practices that date back to the very beginning of the telecommunications industry. Building and con- necting systems internally at low cost, on an as - needed basis, ...

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, ...

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 roots of this book were planted about a decade ago. At that time, I became increasingly convinced that wide-area and metropolitan-area networks, where much of my group’s research has been centered at that time, were in good shape. Although research in these fields was (and still is) needed, tha ...

Performance analysis belongs to the domain of applied mathematics. The major domain of application in this book concerns telecommunications sys- tems and networks. We will mainly use stochastic analysis and probability theory to address problems in the performance evaluation of telecommuni- cations ...

Transmit power in wireless cellular networks is a key degree of freedom in the management of interference, energy, and connectivity. Power control in both uplink and downlink of a cellular network has been extensively studied, especially over the last 15 years, and some of the results have enabled t ...
