The surge of mobile data traffic forces network
operators to cope with capacity shortage. The deployment of
small cells in 5G networks is meant to reduce latency, backhaul
traffic and increase radio access capacity. In this context, mobile
edge computing technology will be used to manage dedicated
c ...
The very title of this book is borrowed from the information theory vocabulary,

tion. WiMAX has crossed a number of major milestones in the recent
past.
Mobile wireless communications are in constant evolution due to the continu-
ously increasing requirements and expectations of both users and operators.
Mass multimedia* services have been for a long time expected to generate a large
amount of data traffic in future wireless networks [1]. Mass multi ...
Mobile operators must continuously pursue cost‐
effective and efficient solutions to meet the high data
demand requirements of their subscribers. Limited spectrum
allocations and non‐contiguous spectrum blocks continue
to pose challenges for mobile operators supporting large
data uploads and downl ...
The serious study of the practice of how to determine the appropriate content of a
specification is a seldom-appreciated pastime. Those who have the responsibility to
design a product would prefer a greater degree of freedom than permitted by the con-
tent of a specification. Many of those who would ...
