Current propogation models are no longer sufficient for wireless network planning. They are neither accurate (empirical) nor fast enough (deterministic) to be applicable in the applications of Automated Cell Planning. This thesis focuses on the development of a new method, namel…
Next Generation networks (3G and beyond) are evolving towards all IP based systems with the aim to provide global coverage. For Mobility in IP based networks, Mobile IPv6 is considered as a standard by both industry and research community, but this mobility protocol has some rel…
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 …
In einer Zeit des globalen Austausches und imperialer Konkurrenz schlossen sich um 1900 staatliche und privatwirtschaftliche Akteure aus dem Deutschen Kaiserreich und dem Königreich der Niederlande zusammen, um der britischen Vormachtstellung im Welttelegrafennetz Einhalt zu geb…
This thesis explores reinforcement learning (RL) based approaches to create adaptive Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols that learn from past transmission history. As apposed to canonical RL algorithms, a policy tree is used to represent both the decision space and the environ…
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, is an emerging technology with a huge potential to transform our lives into smart and connected communities by providing efficient infrastructure solutions for a wide range of military, industrial and commercial applicat…
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…
