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 idea of the book was born during the time when the second generation cellular system was looming on the horizon.At that time ,the world was divided into three distinct camps as far as looking for a standard: Europe North America and Japan.

At the time of writing, and to an extent never seen before, there is an expectation that almost any information or service that is available through communication systems in the office or home will be available wherever the user happens to be. This is placing incredible demands on wireless communica ...

This book addresses two aspects of network operation quality; namely, resource management and fault management. Network operation quality is among the functions to be fulfilled in order to offer quality of service, QoS, to the end user. It is characterized by four parameters: – packet loss; – dela ...

The growth of mobile technologies is remarkable. At a recent Mobile World Congress Conference, Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google predicted that within three years, smart phones will surpass Personal Com- puter sales. The number of mobile phones used worldwide has exceeded 4.6 billion with continued growth ...

In general there are three different techniques for performance evaluation of systems and networks: mathematical analysis, measurements, and computer simulation. All these techniques have their strength and weaknesses. In the literature there are plenty of discussions about when to use which techniq ...

Theartofcomputationofelectromagnetic(EM)problemshasgrownexponentially for three decades due to the availability of powerful computer resources. In spite of this, the EM community has suffered without a suitable text on the computational techniques commonly used in solving EM-related problems. Althou ...

In a cellular communication system, a service area or a geographical region is divided into a number of cells, and each cell is served by an infrastructure element called the base station through a radio interface. Management of radio interface related resources is a critical design component in cel ...

The focus of this book is on developing computational algorithms for transmit wave- form design in active sensing applications, such as radar, sonar, communications and medical imaging. Waveforms are designed to achieve certain desired properties, which are divided into three categories correspondin ...
