Description
Resource allocation in wireless networks is traditionally approached either through information theory or communications networks. To
break down the barriers between these distinct approaches, this book (whose preparation is carried out under the auspices of the EC Network
of Excellence in Wireless Communications NEWCOM++) bridges the physical and network layers by providing cross-layer resource allocation
techniques, models and methodologies.
Cross-Layer Resource Allocation's unique approach allows optimisation of network
resources and will enable engineers to improve signal quality, enhance network and spectrum utilization, increase throughput, and solve
the problem of shadowing. Topics covered include different views of spectral efficiency, the role of spatial diversity, of delay in resource
allocation, and possible extensions to OFDMA systems.
This will be an ideal reference on cross-layer resource allocation between the
PHY and MAC layers for R&D and network design engineers and researchers in universities dealing with sensor networks and cognitive systems.
"This is a nice treatise on the cross-layer optimization of wireless systems. The authors offer a useful guide on a timely subject
most relevant to future generation of wireless communications." – Lang Tong, Irwin and Joan Jacobs Professor in Engineering, School of
Electrical and Computer Engineering, Cornell University, USA
"The authors have written a book that offers to researchers and
practitioners a thorough and comprehensive overview, with a cross-layer perspective, of theory, models and methods related to resource
allocation in multi-user wireless systems." – Professor Velio Tralli, University of Ferrara Communication Technologies Laboratory
Ana I. P rez-Neira is Professor of Signal Theory and Communication at Technical University of Catalonia (UPC), Barcelona,
and Research Associate at Centre Tecnologic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya Castelldefels (CTTC).Marc Realp Campalans
has worked as a Research Associate in the Access Technologies Area at CTTC since 2002.
