Emergingmarketshaveseenanunprecedentedgrowthinthelastfewyears.Theoperatorfocus has been on giving complete coverage to all regions (urban to rural) and to subscription to all – people from the highest to the lowest income groups. When the idea is taking coverage for the remotest of the regions and ...

The very title of this book is borrowed from the information theory vocabulary, and, quite naturally, it is an outline of this theory that will serve as an introduction. The subject of information theory is the scientific study of communications. To this end it defines a quantitative measurement of ...

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 ...

This introduction takes a visionary look at ideal cognitive radios (CRs) that inte- grate advanced software-defined radios (SDR) with CR techniques to arrive at radios that learn to help their user using computer vision, high-performance speech understanding, global positioning system (GPS) navigati ...

It is commonly accepted today that optical fiber communications have revolutionized telecommunications. Indeed, dramatic changes have been induced in the way we interact with our relatives, friends, and colleagues: we retrieve information, we entertain and educate ourselves, we buy and sell, we orga ...

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 objective of this book is to allow the reader to predict the received signal power produced by a particular radio transmitter. The first two chapters examine propagation in free space for point-to-point and point-to-area transmission, respectively. This is combined with a dis- cussion regarding ...

During the past two decades there has been a substantial growth in research in wireless communications. The number of journals published from various parts of the world catering to the research community has grown exponentially. Despite such a growth, the engineering community still needs more infor ...

During the past decade, many wireless communication techniques have been developedto achievevariousgoals suchas higherdata rate,morerobustlink quality, and higher number of users in a given bandwidth. For wireless communication systems, depending on the availability of a feedback link, two approache ...

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 ...
