The book discusses a very promising and effective approach in wireless communications called Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) and its related issues. Meshes with external access capability, i.e. ...connected to the Internet, will be discussed. A full overview of WMNs with a technical assessment of mesh and multi-hop networking will be highlighted. Chapters in this book will provide a clear overview and summary and will evaluate some practical examples of upright mesh applications.
This open access book, authored by a world-leading researcher in this field, describes fundamentals of dynamic spectrum management, provides a systematic overview on the enabling technologies ...covering cognitive radio, blockchain, and artificial intelligence, and offers valuable guidance for designing advanced wireless communications systems. This book is intended for a broad range of readers, including students and professionals in this field, as well as radio spectrum policy makers.
Written by a leading expert in the field, this unique book describes the technical requirements for three-tier shared spectrum as well as key policy rationale and the impact for 5G. Detail is ...provided on the inception of the concept and its implementation in the US Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS), along with descriptions of standards for deployment, algorithms required for implementation, and the broader consequences for wireless network and service architectures. The economic and innovation incentives offered by three-tier spectrum are described, along with potential outcomes such as widely deployed neutral host networks. There is also detailed technical analysis of the unique challenges introduced by three-tier spectrum, such as co-existence among non-cooperating networks. Covering a wide range of spectrum bands, International Telecommunication Union (ITU) international allocations, and rule structures that can be adapted for different regimes, this is ideal for an international readership of communications engineers, policy-makers, regulators, and industry strategic planners.
This article proposes XPLIT, a new architecture based on TCP cross-layering and splitting for optimizing the transport layer performance in a DVB-S2 satellite link that employs the ETSI QoS Broadband ...Satellite Multimedia Services (BSM) standard. The main novelty of our proposal is a complete architecture that perfectly fits this new DVB-S2/ETSI QoS BSM scenario. Our architecture includes the design of satellite-optimized cross-layer TCP protocol, called XPLIT-TCP that uses two control loops to properly manage the system load. The proposal has been implemented to be tested in the NS-2 simulator and we include the most interesting performance evaluation results, which show the excellent performance of our architecture for the intended scenario.
