Recent Trends In Wireless And Mobile Networks

The International Conference on Wireless and Mobile networks (WiMo) aims to bring together innovative ideas and new research trends in wireless and mobile networks. Wireless networks are the best inventions in history. Wireless networking gives you a cheap and easy way to share one Internet connection between multiple computers, eliminating the need for more than one modem. You can even add new computers to your network simply by plugging in a wireless card and switching them on––they have an Internet connection straight away! There aren't many wired networks that can say that. This conference is dedicated to addressing the challenges in the areas of wireless and mobile networks. It looks for significant contributions to wireless and mobile computing in theoretical and practical aspects. The wireless and mobile computing domain emerges from integrating personal computing, networks, communication te- nologies, cellular technology and Internet technology. Modern applications are eme- ing in the area of mobile ad hoc networks and sensor networks. WiMo 2010 intended to cover contributions in both design and analysis in the context of mobile, wireless, ad hoc, and sensor networks. The goal of the conference was to bring together - searchers and practitioners from academia and industry to focus on advanced wireless and mobile computing concepts and establish new collaborations in these areas.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Wireless, Mobile Networks, WiMo 2011, and of The Third International Conference on Computer Networks and Communications, CoNeCo 2011, held in Ankara, Turkey, in June 2011. The 40 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 202 submissions.

"This book brings together advanced research on diverse topics in wireless communications and networking, including the latest developments in broadband technologies, mobile communications, wireless sensor networks, network security, and cognitive radio networks"--

By 2020, if not before, mobile computing and wireless systems are expected to enter the fifth generation (5G), which promises evolutionary if not revolutionary services. What those advanced services will look like, sound like, and feel like is the theme of the book Advances in Mobile Computing and Communications: Perspectives and Emerging Trends in 5G Networks. The book explores futuristic and compelling ideas in latest developments of communication and networking aspects of 5G. As such, it serves as an excellent guide for advanced developers, communication network scientists, researchers, academicians, and graduate students. The authors address computing models, communication architecture, and protocols based on 3G, LTE, LTE-A, 4G, and beyond. Topics include advances in 4G, radio propagation and channel modeling aspects of 4G networks, limited feedback for 4G, and game theory application for power control and subcarrier allocation in OFDMA cellular networks. Additionally, the book covers millimeter-wave technology for 5G networks, multicellular heterogeneous networks, and energy-efficient mobile wireless network operations for 4G and beyond using HetNets. Finally, the authors delve into opportunistic multiconnect networks with P2P WiFi and cellular providers and video streaming over wireless channels for 4G and beyond.

This book provides a preview of emerging wireless technologies and their architectural impact on the future mobile Internet. The reader will find an overview of architectural considerations for the mobile Internet, along with more detailed technical discussion of new protocol concepts currently being considered at the research stage. The first chapter starts with a discussion of anticipated mobile/wireless usage scenarios, leading to an identification of new protocol features for the future Internet. This is followed by several chapters that provide in-depth coverage of next-generation wireless standards, ad hoc and mesh network protocols, opportunistic delivery and delay tolerant networks, sensor network architectures and protocols, cognitive radio networks, vehicular networks, security and privacy, and experimental systems for future Internet research. Each of these contributed chapters includes a discussion of new networking requirements for the wireless scenario under consideration, architectural concepts and specific protocol designs, many still at research stage.

6G Wireless Communications and Mobile Networking introduces the key technologies behind 6G wireless communication and mobile networking to the reader. The book starts with a general vision of 6G technology, which includes the motivation that drives 6G research, the international organizations working on 6G standardization and recent progress in 6G research. Separate chapters on millimeter-wave and terahertz-wave technologies in 6G, the development of latest 6G antenna technology as well as related wireless communication applications are included in the contents. The book also provides details about the 6G network layer, such as self-organizing network driven by network slicing, software-defined networking and network function virtualization. Finally, it covers some popular research topics, including the challenges and solutions to massive 6G IoT networks, 6G cloud/edge computing and big data systems that may appear in the foreseeable future. Key Features: - Provides a complete introduction to 6G vision and technology - Consists of both basic theories and frontier technologies - Separate chapters on key topics such as 6G physical layers, millimeter wave and terahertz technology and advanced antenna arrays - Covers future trends and applications such as intelligent management systems, 6G IoT networks, cloud/edge computing and big data applications This focused reference will significantly enhance the knowledge of engineering students and apprentices involved in the field of telecommunications.
