The wireless industry is growing very fast in the last decade with the main aim of high-speed, low-latency, and reliable communication. Localization, being a primary and essential component of wireless communication, needs to be efficient enough to match modern requirements. Wit…
Digitalization is changing society, industry, and how business is done. For new companies that are more or less born digital, there is the opportunity to use and benefit from the capabilities offered by the new digital technologies, of which data-driven decision-making forms a c…
The unprecedented growth of Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) networks in recent years has boosted the use of both established and new multimedia applications. In order to satisfy the diverse Quality of Service (QoS) requirements entailed by these applications, an efficient traffi…
The primary challenge in wireless networks, unlike wireline networks, is the existence of interference and channel variations (fading). Having more users at higher data rates means that current point-to-point networks will not scale. To engineer a scalable network, a new paradig…
"This book features the latest research on the algorithms and analysis measures being employed in the field of network science, highlighting the application of graph models, advanced computation, and analytical procedures"--Provided by publisher.
In order to efficiently utilize the scarce wireless resource as well as keep up with the ever-increasing demand for Quality-of-Service (QoS) of multimedia applications, wireless networks are undergoing rapid development and dramatic changes in the underlying technologies and pro…
OFDMA will be the multiple access scheme for next generation networks, including LTE and LTE-A. These networks will provide higher data rates than now, up to several hundred Mbps. These new networks, using a higher carrier frequency and offering flexible bandwidth for different …
The sky-rocketing growth of multimedia infotainment applications and broadband-hungry mobile devices exacerbate the stringent demand for ultra high data rate and more spectrum resources. Along with it, the unbalanced temporal and geographical variations of spectrum usage further…
As the demand for wireless communication services grows quickly, spectrum scarcity has been on the rise sharply. In this context, cognitive radio (CR) is being viewed as a new intelligent technology to solve the deficiency of fixed spectrum assignment policy in wireless communic…
Energy efficiency is crucial for ad hoc networks because of limited energy stored in the battery. Recharging the nodes frequently is sometimes not possible. Therefore, proper energy utilization is paramount. One possible solution of increasing energy efficiency is to optimize th…
Mobile ad hoc networks are of growing interest because of their unique characteristics and advantages in many practical applications. QoS provision acts as a major challenge in the routing protocol design in the real-world mobile ad hoc networks, especially for the real-time ser…
Cooperation is seen as a means to improve the signal in OFDMA wireless networks by overcoming the inter-cell interference. Such co-operation can be deployed in both the physical layer and the MAC layer. In this thesis, a cross-layer cooperation strategy is considered. Firstly, i…
