The book you’re holding, physically or electronically, is the result of a very interesting, challenging but also rewarding research project. The research was carried out in different contexts and cooperations but it was centered around the following question: how can we make the RF transmitters of our modern com- munication systems (WiFi, GSM, LTE, and so on) more flexible and more efficient at the same time.

Cooperation has been the subject of intensive study in the social and biological sciences, as well as in mathematics and artificial intelligence. The fundamental finding is that even egoists can sustain cooperation provided the structure of their environment allows for repeated interactions (Axelrod 1984).

Cooperation is not a natural characteristic attributed to humans. The typical human horizon is focused on short-term gains, which might be due to our instinct-driven subconscious occupying a grander importance than we dare to admit [1]. Cooperating with other individuals or entities, however, usually means that short-term losses may translate into long-term gains – something history has proved to hold true but humans for some reason rarely ever understand.

Mobile communication has gained significant importance in today’s society. As of 2010, the number of mobile phone subscribers has surpassed 5 billion [ABI10], and the global annual mobile revenue is soon expected to top $1 trillion [Inf10]. While these numbers appear promising for mobile operators at first sight, the major game-changer that has come up recently is the fact that the market is more and more driven by the demand for mobile data traffic [Cis10].

How will future generations refer to our times? Will it be known as one of space exploration, genetics, atomic energy or computing? Possibly, but I think it is more likely to be ‘The age of communications’. Not since printed books and newspapers were first introduced has there been such an explosion of communication. None of this technology could function without modern cables and, just as important, competent installers.

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 organize our activities, and so on, in a long list of activities. Optical fiber systems initially allowed for a significant curb in the cost of transmission and later on they sparked the process of a major rethinking regarding some, generation-old, telecommunication concepts like the (OSI)-layer definition, the lack of cross-layer dependency, the oversegmentation and overfragmentation of telecommunica- tions networks, and so on.

In the preparation of this book, our objective was to provide an advanced understanding of emerging telecommunications systems, their significance, and the anticipated role these systems will play in the future. With the help of our talented associated editors and contributors, we believe we have accomplished this. By addressing voice, Internet, traffic management, and future trends, we feel our readers will be knowledgeable about current and future telecommunications systems.

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 communications and has been the driver for the gen- esis and deployment of three generations of cellular systems in the space of 20 years.
