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 ...

This is believed to be the first book that takes a view of nanotechnology from a telecommunications and networking perspective. Nanotechnology refers to the manip- ulation of materials at the atomic or molecular level. Nanotechnology is getting a lot of attention of late not only in academic setting ...

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 ...

Before delving into the details of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), relevant background material must be presented first. The purpose of this chapter is to provide the necessary building blocks for the development of OFDM principles. Included in this chapter are reviews of stochast ...

This book is a result of the recent rapid advances in two related technologies: com- munications and computers. Over the past few decades, communication systems have increased in complexity to the point where system design and performance analysis can no longer be conducted without a significant lev ...

Many good textbooks exist on probability and random processes written at the under- graduate level to the research level. However, there is no one handy and ready book that explains most of the essential topics, such as random variables and most of their frequently used discrete and continuous proba ...

Convergence between the two largest networks (Telecom and IP) is taking place very rapidly and at diff erent levels: (1) network level: unifi cation of IP networks with traditional Telecom networks through evolving standards (Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), Realtime Transfer Protocol (RTP), SS7, ...

The continuing explosive growth in mobile communication is demanding more spectrally efficient radio access technologies than the prevalent second generation (2G) systems such as GSM to handle just the voice traffic. We are already witnessing high levels of mobile penetration exceeding 70% in some c ...

In this first part of the book the Vienna Link Level (LL) Simulators are described. The first chapter provides basics of LL simulations, introduces the most common variables and parameters as well as the transceiver structures that are applied in Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and Long-Term Evolution-Adv ...
