The current methods of communications are becoming less relevant under
today’s growing demand for and reliance on constant connectivity. Of
decreasing relevance are the models of a single radio to perform a single
task. The expansion of wireless access points among coffee shops, airports,
malls, an ...
For nearly a hundred years telecommunications provided mainly voice services and very low speed
data (telegraph and telex). With the advent of the Internet, several data services became mainstream
in telecommunications; to the point that voice is becoming an accessory to IP-centric data networks.

Microwave radio network design is a subset of activities that constitute
the overall transmission network design. Transmission networks are
sometimes called transport networks, access networks, or connectivity
networks. For many wireless carriers, microwave is becoming a popu-
lar preference over wi ...
The ever-increasing demand for private and sensitive data transmission over wireless net-
works has made security a crucial concern in the current and future large-scale, dynamic,
and heterogeneous wireless communication systems. To address this challenge, computer
scientists and engineers have trie ...
Wireless communications is rapidly becoming one of the ubiquitous technological
underpinnings of modern society (such as electric power, fossil fuels, automobiles,
etc.).Fewpeoplethinkaboutthetechnologywithintheirmobilephones,remotecontrols,

The investigation of the propagation channel is becoming more and more important in mod-
ern wireless communication. The demand for spectral efficiency motivates exploitation of
all channels that can possibly be used for communications. Nowadays, a common trend for
designing physical layer algorithm ...
Quality of Service ( QoS ) has always been in a world of its own, but as the technology
has been refi ned and has evolved in recent years, QOS usage has increased to the point
where it is now considered a necessary part of network design and operation. As with
most technologies, large - scale deploy ...
Recent advances in wireless communication technologies have had a transforma-
tive impact on society and have directly contributed to several economic and social
aspects of daily life. Increasingly, the untethered exchange of information between
devices is becoming a prime requirement for further pr ...
Today wireless is becoming the leader in communication choices among

Although the origins of radio frequency based wireless networking can be
traced back to the University of Hawaii’s ALOHANET research project
in the 1970s, the key events that led to wireless networking becoming
one of the fastest growing technologies of the early 21st century have
been the ratifica ...
