ICT is playing an increasingly important role in both business and individual's private life. It has increased international interconnectedness and speed up the process of globalization. But on the other side the total energy consumption by the communication and networking devices and the relevant global CO emission is increasing exponentially. ICT has, in many ways, a vital role to play. It accounts for about two percent of global CO emissions. Telecommunications applications can have a direct, tangible impact on lowering greenhouse gas emissions, power consumption, and achieve efficient recycling of equipment waste.This book is the outcome of the special session on Green Communications at 'The 12th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications' (WPMC) held in September '09 in Sendai, Japan. To the best of the editors' knowledge this is the first book on the Green Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and can be considered a milestone and a key-tool aimed at driving the industrial, scientific and academic efforts of the international community to guarantee a greener future to the whole planet.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th IFIP/IEEE International Conference on the Management of Multimedia Networks and Services, MMNS 2002, held in Santa Barbara, CA, USA, in October 2002.The 27 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 76 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on service management, management of wireless multimedia, bandwidth sharing protocols, distributed video architectures, management systems, differentiated network services, user level traffic adaptation, and multicast congestion control.
Multihop Mobile Wireless Networks discusses issues pertaining to each of these networks and proposes novel and innovative algorithms on Scheduling, Routing and Data aggregation that are viable solutions for multihop mobile networks.
If you want guidance in estimating response times across a network and identifying which part of a 3G network is responsible for any reported QoS (quality of service) problems, this innovative book is a must read for you. It serves as a hands-on, working guide to the way different parts of an integrated 3G mobile network affect quality. The book helps you gain a better understanding of the trade-off between quality of service and the usable capacity of the network, the best applications to use for multimedia applications, and how to handle quality problems.
This book helps readers do just that by: providing a comprehensive introduction to multicarrier techniques for 4G mobile communications with a special focus on the analytical aspects; explaining radio channel characteristics and phenomena and discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the OFDM scheme; featuring new multicarrier-related techniques, MC-CDMA, research on several 4G systems, and a look at several problems to be overcome with these systems; examining the concept and detail of the ODFM scheme and how to carry out theoretical analysis on the performance of transmission systems in radio channels; showing how ODFM has been successfully adopted as a modulation scheme in communications systems and broadcasting systems such as ADSL, wireless LANs, and DVB-T."--Jacket.
Cellular telephone system reception is dramatically affected by various factors in urban environments. This practical text covers the types of problem, like fading, that is encountered when using multipath propagation.
'Intelligent Vehicle Technologies' covers the growing field of intelligent technologies, from intelligent control systems to intelligent sensors. Systems such as in-car navigation devices and cruise control are already being introduced into modern vehicles, but manufacturers are now racing to develop systems such as 'smart' cruise control, on-vehicle driver information systems, collision avoidance systems, vision enhancement and roadworthiness diagnostics systems. aimed specifically at the automotive industrypacked with practical examples and applicationsin-depth treatment written in a text book style (rather than a theoretical specialist text style)
Since the publication of the best-selling first edition of the Satellite Communication Applications Handbook, the satellite industry has experienced explosive growth thanks to a flood of innovations in consumer electronics, broadcasting, the Internet, transportation, and broadband telecommunications. This second edition covers all the latest advances in satellite technology and applications and features new chapters on mobile digital audio radio and VSAT networks. It updates and expands upon the engineering and management topics that made the first edition a must-have for every satellite communications professional as well as network architects. Engineers get the latest technical details into operations, architectures, and systems components. Managers are brought up to date with the latest business applications as well as regulatory and legal decisions affecting domestic and international markets. the treatment is also of value to marketing, legal, regulatory, and financial and operations professionals who must gain a clear understanding of the capabilities and issues associated with satellite space and ground facilities and services.
Written by today's leading experts in industry and academia, Wireless IP and Building the Mobile Internet is the first book to take a comprehensive look at the convergence of wireless and Internet technologies that are giving rise to the mobile wireless Internet. This cutting-edge resource provides you with an overview of all the elements required to understand and develop future IP based wireless multimedia communications and services
This practical book is an accessible introduction to Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) receiver design, a technology that allows digitized data to be carried by multiple carriers. It offers a detailed simulation study of an OFDM algorithm for Wi-Fi and 4G cellular that can be used to understand other OFDM waveforms. Extensive simulation studies are included using the transmissionwaveform given by the IEEE 802.11 standard. Scrambler, error-correcting codes, interleaver and radio-wave propagation model are included. OFDM waveform characteristics, signal acquisition, synchronization issues, channel estimation and tracking, hard and soft decision decoding are all covered. Detailed derivations leading to the final formula for any algorithm are given, which allows the reader to clearly understand the approximations and conditions behind the formulas and apply them appropriately. The algorithms are selected not just for the best performance from simulation study but also for easy implementation. An example is a unique algorithm for signal acquisition using the principle of maximum likelihood detection.
