3rd Edition
by Savo G. Glisic (Author)
The new edition of Advanced Wireless Communications: 4G Cognitive and Cooperative Broadband Technology, 2nd Edition, including the latest developments
In
the evolution of wireless communications, the dominant challenges are
in the areas of networking and their integration with the Future
Internet. Even the classical concept of cellular networks is changing
and new technologies are evolving to replace it. To reflect these new
trends,Advanced Wireless Communications & INTERNET builds
upon the previous volumes, enhancing the existing chapters, and
including a number of new topics. Systematically guiding readers from
the fundamentals through to advanced areas, each chapter begins with an
introductory explanation of the basic problems and solutions followed
with an analytical treatment in greater detail.
The most
important aspects of new emerging technologies in wireless
communications are comprehensively covered including: next generation
Internet; cloud computing and network virtualization; economics of
utility computing and wireless grids and clouds. This gives readers an
essential understanding of the overall environment in which future
wireless networks will be operating. Furthermore, a number of
methodologies for maintaining the network connectivity, by using tools
ranging from genetic algorithms to stochastic geometry and random graphs
theory, and a discussion on percolation and connectivity, are also
offered. The book includes a chapter on network formation games,
covering the general models, knowledge based network formation games,
and coalition games in wireless ad hoc networks.
