Advanced wireless networks: cognitive, cooperative & opportunistic 4G technology

Advanced Wireless Networks presents a comprehensive integral presentation of the main issues in 4G wireless networks, showing the wide scope and inter-relation between different elements of the networks. It provides systematic coverage of the latest global research results in the field of advanced wireless technology networks at a time when the industry is paving the way for 4G. Since the first edition of the book was published in 2006, extensive research has occurred in the field of wireless networks. This has resulted in significant accumulation of new results. The new edition of the book will be fully updated to incorporate these new results. Additions include five new chapters on AdaptiveRRM; Convex Optimization; Relay Networks; Opportunistic Communications; and Topology Control and added sections on Throughput Delay Optimisation and Network coding. Each chapter in the book adopts a logical approach, beginning with introductory material, before proceeding to more advanced topics and tools for system analysis. There is detailed analysis of a wide range of topics including higher layer material, adaptive resource management material, cognitive radio networks, ad hoc networks, multi-hop networks, radio resource management andresource optimization, network topology control, physical layer functions, and the state of the art network layering architecture. The scope is thus wide-ranging, yet detailed and amply illustrated with real-life examples. It is a timely and up-to-date resource for those interested in understanding the currentapproaches and evolving directions for wireless networking.
