This book is about multipoint cooperative communication, a key technology to
overcome the long-standing problem of limited transmission rate caused by inter-
point interference. However, the multipoint cooperative communication is not an
isolated technology. Instead, it covers a vast range of resear ...
FeaturesThe following standard features are provided.• Choice of RTOS scheduling policy1. Pre-emptive:Always runs the highest available task. Tasks of identical priorityshare CPU time (fully pre-emptive with round robin time slicing).2. Cooperative:Context switches only occur if a task blocks, ...
The aim of this book, the first of two volumes, is to present selected research that
has been undertaken under COST Action IC0902 ‘‘Cognitive Radio and Net-
working for Cooperative Coexistence of Heterogeneous Wireless Networks’’
(http://newyork.ing.uniroma1.it/IC0902/). COST (European Cooperati ...
Cooperation is not a natural characteristic attributed to humans. The typical human horizon is focused
on short-term gains, which might be due to our instinct-driven subconscious occupying a grander
importance than we dare to admit [1]. Cooperating with other individuals or entities, however, usuall ...
LTE-Advanced becomes a truly global standard for 4G cellular communications.
Relay, as one of the key technologies of LTE-Advanced, can significantly extend
the coverage, and improve the system throughput. LTE-A standards and tech-
nologies were described in several recent books where the limited pa ...
The large-scale deployment of the smart grid (SG) paradigm could play a strategic role in
supporting the evolution of conventional electrical grids toward active, flexible and self-
healing web energy networks composed of distributed and cooperative energy resources.
From a conceptual point of view, ...
