How will future generations refer to our times? Will it be known as one
of space exploration, genetics, atomic energy or computing? Possibly,
but I think it is more likely to be ‘The age of communications’. Not since
printed books and newspapers were first introduced has there been
such an explosi ...
When the authors of this book asked me to write the foreword of
their work on the digital enterprise, I immediately thought that it was
one more document on a fashionable topic in the technology and the
business world of the 21st Century often addressed by consulting
firms, some of which have aspire ...
A series of features makes the mobile telecommunications industry an
interesting field of investigation for economists: the industry is experi-
encing veryfastmarketgrowthcombinedwithrapidtechnological change;
regulatory design in setting market structure is playing a very important
role; and oligop ...
Providing QoS while optimizing the LTE network in a cost efficient manner is
very challenging. Thus, radio scheduling is one of the most important functions
in mobile broadband networks. The design of a mobile network radio scheduler
holds several objectives that need to be satisfied, for example: t ...

To meet the future demand for huge traffic volume of wireless data service, the research on the fifth generation
(5G) mobile communication systems has been undertaken in recent years. It is expected that the spectral and energy
efficiencies in 5G mobile communication systems should be ten-fold highe ...
Mobile radio networks have risen in prominence over the last few years, primarily by the rise
in popularity of cellular phones. It is important to recognise however that mobile radio
technology fulfils a far wider range of applications that meet the demands of the modern
world. These include the net ...
At the macroscopic level of system layout, the most important issue is path loss. In the
older mobile radio systems that are limited by receiver noise, path loss determines SNR and
the maximum coverage area. In cellular systems, where the limiting factor is cochannel
interference, path loss determin ...
The insinuation of telecommunications into the daily fabric of our lives has been
arguably the most important and surprising development of the last 25 years. Before
this revolution, telephone service and its place in our lives had been largely stable
for more than a generation. The growth was, so t ...
