obot control, a subject aimed at making robots behave as desired, has been
extensively developed for more than two decades. Among many books being
published on this subject, a common feature is to treat a robot as a single
system that is to be controlled by a variety of control algorithms depending ...
Broadband powerline communication systems are continuing to gain significant
market adoption worldwide for applications ranging from IPTV delivery to the
Smart Grid. The suite of standards developed by the HomePlug Powerline
Alliance plays an important role in the widespread deployment of broadband
...
I saw the light of the future when I first read Ray Kurzweil’s best-seller book The
Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology. One cubic inch of nanotube cir-
cuitry, once fully developed, would be up to one hundred million times more powerful
than the human brain.
With billions of ‘people and things’ becoming increasingly connected, the need to combine the potential
of unlicensed and licensed wireless services has become an imperative for the operators, cities, high
density venues and players focused on key market opportunities such as IoT, big data and 5G. ...
The new digital radio system DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting, nowadays often called
Digital Radio) is a very innovative and universal multimedia broadcast system which will
replace the existing AM and FM audio broadcast services in many parts of the world in
the future. It was developed in the 1990s ...
Optical communication technology has been extensively developed over the
last 50 years, since the proposed idea by Kao and Hockham [1]. However, only
during the last 15 years have the concepts of communication foundation, that
is, the modulation and demodulation techniques, been applied. This is pos ...
The design and manufacturing of wireless radio frequency (RF) transceivers has developed rapidly in recent ten
yeas due to rapid development of RF integrated circuits and the evolution of high-speed digital signal
processors (DSP). Such high speed signal processors, in conjunction with the developme ...
This thesis is about wireless communication in shared radio spectrum. Its origin and
motivation is ideally represented by the two quotations from above. In this thesis, the
support of Quality-of-Service (QoS) in cognitive radio networks is analyzed. New
approaches to distributed coordination of cogn ...
Much of Game Theory has developed within the community of Economists,
starting from the book “Theory of Games and Economic behavior” by Mor-
genstern and Von Neumann (1944). To a lesser extent, it has had an impact on
biology (with the development of evolutionarygames) and on road traffic Engi-
ne ...
This books attempts to provide an extensive overview on Long-Term Evolution
(LTE) networks. Understanding LTE and its Performance is purposely written to
appeal to a broad audience and to be of value to anyone who is interested in 3GPP
LTE or wireless broadband networks more generally. The aim of th ...
