Description & Coverage
Description:

In the ever-evolving telecommunication industry, technological improvements alone are not able to keep up with the significant growth of mobile broadband traffic. As such, new research on communications networks is necessary to keep up with rising demand.

Convergence of Broadband, Broadcast, and Cellular Network Technologies addresses the problems of broadband, broadcast, and cellular coexistence, including the increasing number of advanced mobile users and their bandwidth demands. This book will serve as a link between academia and industry, serving students, researchers, and industry professionals.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Cognitive Radios
  • Collaboration in Future Networks
  • Competition in Next Generation Networks
  • Economic Aspects of Heterogeneous Networks
  • Energy Harvesting
  • Interference Mitigation in Heterogeneous Networks
  • Optical Fibre Distribution in Future Networks
  • Resource Allocation in Heterogeneous Networks
  • Smart Cities and Roads
  • Wireless Sensor Networks
Reviews & Statements

Researchers in telecommunications explore emerging technologies in the teeming mobile communications environment, focusing on convergence problems and providing quality of service. The topics include economic aspects of heterogeneous networks, resource allocation in heterogeneous broadband wireless access networks, a cognitive radio perspective on mitigating interference and managing energy in heterogeneous networks, an innovative vehicle route management solution based on IEEE 802.11p sparse roadside-vehicle networking, data processing and exchange challenges in video-based wireless sensor networks, and indoor short range wireless broadband communications based on optical fiber distribution.
