Smartphones have become a key element in providing greater user access to the
mobile Internet. Many complex applications which used to be limited to PCs, have
been developed and operated on smartphones. These applications extend the
functionalities of smartphones, making them more convenient for use ...
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 ...
Rapid growth of wireless communication services in recent decades has created
a huge demand of radio spectrum. Spectrum scarcity and utilization inefficiency
limit the development of wireless networks. Cognitive radio is a promising tech-
nology that allows secondary users to reuse the underutilized ...
The roots of this book were planted about a decade ago. At that time, I became
increasingly convinced that wide-area and metropolitan-area networks, where much
of my group’s research has been centered at that time, were in good shape. Although
research in these fields was (and still is) needed, tha ...
It was only a few years ago that “ubiquitous connectivity” was recognized as the future of
wireless communication systems. In the era of ubiquitous connectivity, it was expected that
the broadband mobile Internet experience would be pervasive, and seamless connectivity on
a global scale would be n ...
Wireless communications and networking technology are advancing at a very rapid
pace. Newer technologies and standards are evolving to serve the ever-increasing num-
ber of users demanding different types of mobile applications and services. Research
and development activities on wireless technology ...
An understanding of the policies, regulations, standards and techniques of radio spectrum
management is useful to those who manage and administrate it, to operators, to equipment
providers and to the users of wireless communication (i.e., all of us). For many years the author
has been deeply involve ...
The following sections profile many of the vendors in the NFV market. The individual profiles were created
through a collaborative effort between SDNCentral’s Research Team and the Vendor’s product experts.
SDNCentral worked under the assumption the information provided by the vendors was factual, ...
In this thesis several asp ects of space-time pro cessing and equalization for wire-
less communications are treated. We discuss several di?erent metho ds of improv-
ing estimates of space-time channels, such as temp oral parametrization, spatial
parametrization, reduced rank channel estimation, b o ...
The radio spectrum is one of the most precious resources which must be managed
to ensure efficient access for the wireless communication services which use it. The
allocation and management of spectrum are administered by the regulatory
authorities. Traditionally, spectrum allocation is carried out ...
