The book brings together a number of theoretical topics necessary for the understanding of wireless network design, optimization techniques, and performance analysis and evaluation. The author takes a practical approach in explaining the material presented, the primary aim being to introduce readers to the art of network design, optimization, and performance analysis. To achieve that aim, the author presents the relevant technological background necessary for understanding those processes. Historically, LTE became the technology of choice for large operators, WiMAX the technology of choice of aviation and smart grids whilst WLAN is a strong candidate for becoming the base for the next generation. The offering of three similar (OFDM based) but different technologies led to a marketing war, announcing spectacular performances that made it difficult to separate reality from marketing claims. This welcome Second Edition provides the foundation which allows readers to understand the basic premises of the technology and to distinguish what is a marketing claim and what is possible to obtain in real life. This second edition presents an in-depth analysis of the technologies evolution and considers the proposed path of the next generation (5G) technology. The book is structured into five main parts: The fundamentals, useful as a refresher and to cover Mathematics Applied to Wireless, Signal Processing Fundamentals, and OFDM; The Wireless Communication Channel, an exclusive in-depth analysis which explains the causes and effects of RF impairments; Data Transmission Protocols Internet History and Modeling, an in-depth examination of data modeling and transmission protocols, including Internet Network, Protocols, Routing, Traffic and Throughput; 4G and 5G Technologies, Network Architectures, Wireless LAN, WiMAX/ WIMAX 2.2, LTE/ LTE-A; Designing a 4G/5G Wireless Network, including Preparing a Business Plan, Design Tasks, and Modeling a Wireless Market

Packed with details of the technologies that support each network type, this cutting-edge reference leads the reader step by step on how to plan and optimize various types of wireless networks. It examines current and emerging network planning and enhancement techniques.

This book surveys state-of-the-art optimization modeling for design, analysis, and management of wireless networks, such as cellular and wireless local area networks (LANs), and the services they deliver. The past two decades have seen a tremendous growth in the deployment and use of wireless networks. The current-generation wireless systems can provide mobile users with high-speed data services at rates substantially higher than those of the previous generation. As a result, the demand for mobile information services with high reliability, fast response times, and ubiquitous connectivity continues to increase rapidly. The optimization of system performance has become critically important both in terms of practical utility and commercial viability, and presents a rich area for research. In the editors' previous work on traditional wired networks, we have observed that designing low cost, survivable telecommunication networks involves extremely complicated processes. Commercial products available to help with this task typically have been based on simulation and/or proprietary heuristics. As demonstrated in this book, however, mathematical programming deserves a prominent place in the designer's toolkit. Convenient modeling languages and powerful optimization solvers have greatly facilitated the implementation of mathematical programming theory into the practice of commercial network design. These points are equally relevant and applicable in today’s world of wireless network technology and design. But there are new issues as well: many wireless network design decisions, such as routing and facility/element location, must be dealt with in innovative ways that are unique and distinct from wired (fiber optic) networks. The book specifically treats the recent research and the use of modeling languages and network optimization techniques that are playing particularly important and distinctive roles in the wireless domain.

Ignited by the mobile phone's huge success at the end of last century, the demand for wireless services is constantly growing. To face this demand, wireless systems have been and are deployed at a large scale. These include mobility-oriented technologies such as GPRS, CDMA or UMTS, and Local Area Network-oriented technologies such as WiFi. WiMAX Networks covers aspects of WiMAX quality of service (QoS), security, mobility, radio resource management, multiple input multiple output antenna, planning, cost/revenue optimization, physical layer, medium access control (MAC) layer, network layer, and so on.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Network Optimization, INOC 2011, held in Hamburg, Germany, in June 2011. The 65 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers highlight recent developments in network optimization and are organized in the following topical sections: theoretical problems, uncertainty, graph theory and network design; network flows; routing and transportation; and further optimization problems and applications (energy oriented network design, telecom applications, location, maritime shipping, and graph theory).
