"This book further explores various issues and proposed solutions for the provision of Quality of Service (QoS) on the wireless networks"--Provided by publisher.
Fourth-Generation Wireless Networks: Applications and Innovations presents a comprehensive collection of recent findings in access technologies useful in the architecture of wireless networks.
Contains the latest research, case studies, theories, and methodologies within the field of wireless technologies.
Provides an introduction to High-Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS) technology and its applications for wireless communications High-altitude platform stations offer a promising new technology that combines the benefits of terrestrial and satellite communication systems for delivering broadband communications to users at a low cost. They are easily deployable and easy to maintain, which is why they offer a good alternative for network operators who need to find ways to get more coverage to satisfy the increasing demand for more capacity. HAPS are usually balloons, airships or unmanned aerial systems (UAS) located in the stratosphere. An enormous interest has grown worldwide to examine their u...
Fully revised and updated version of the successful "AdvancedWireless Communications" Wireless communications continue to attract the attention ofboth research community and industry. Since the first edition waspublished significant research and industry activities have broughtthe fourth generation (4G) of wireless communications systemscloser to implementation and standardization. "Advanced Wireless Communications" continues to provide acomparative study of enabling technologies for 4G. This secondedition has been revised and updated and now includes additionalinformation on the components of common air interface, includingthe area of space time coding , multicarrier modulation especiallyOF...
This book offers a comprehensive report on the technological aspects of Mobile Health (mHealth) and discusses the main challenges and future directions in the field. It is divided into eight parts: (1) preventive and curative medicine; (2) remote health monitoring; (3) interoperability; (4) framework, architecture, and software/hardware systems; (5) cloud applications; (6) radio technologies and applications; (7) communication networks and systems; and (8) security and privacy mechanisms. The first two parts cover sensor-based and bedside systems for remotely monitoring patients’ health condition, which aim at preventing the development of health problems and managing the prognosis of acut...
Based on the author's experience in industry, this book focuses on simple techniques for solving everyday problems in systems design and analysis. All techniques are covered in a non-mathematical way, so that no statistics expertise is necessary.
The book is devoted to the problem of manufacturing scheduling, which is the efficient allocation of jobs (orders) over machines (resources) in a manufacturing facility. It offers a comprehensive and integrated perspective on the different aspects required to design and implement systems to efficiently and effectively support manufacturing scheduling decisions. Obtaining economic and reliable schedules constitutes the core of excellence in customer service and efficiency in manufacturing operations. Therefore, scheduling forms an area of vital importance for competition in manufacturing companies. However, only a fraction of scheduling research has been translated into practice, due to sever...
Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is a method of digital modulation in which a signal is split into several narrowband channels at different frequencies. CDMA is a form of multiplexing, which allows numerous signals to occupy a single transmission channel, optimising the use of available bandwidth. Multiplexing is sending multiple signals or streams of information on a carrier at the same time in the form of a single, complex signal and then recovering the separate signals at the receiving end. Multi-Carrier (MC) CDMA is a combined technique of Direct Sequence (DS) CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) and OFDM techniques. It applies spreading sequences in the frequency domain...
