Design of Modern Communication Networks: Methods and Applications (Hardcover)

Design of Modern Communication Networks focuses on methods and algorithms related to the design of communication networks, using optimization, graph theory, probability theory and simulation techniques. The book discusses the nature and complexity of the network design process, then introduces theoretical concepts, problems and solutions. It demonstrates the design of network topology and traditional loss networks, followed by uncontrolled packet networks, flow-controlled networks, and multiservice networks. Access network design is reviewed, and the book concludes by considering the design of survivable (reliable) networks and various reliability concepts.

• A toolbox of algorithms: The book provides practical advice on implementing algorithms, including the programming aspects of combinatorial algorithms.
• Extensive solved problems and illustrations: Wherever possible, different solution methods are applied to the same examples to compare performance and verify precision and applicability.
• Technology-independent: Solutions are applicable to a wide range of network design problems without relying on particular technologies.

《現代通訊網路設計》專注於使用優化、圖論、概率論和模擬技術相關的方法和算法來設計通訊網路。本書討論了網路設計過程的性質和複雜性，然後介紹了理論概念、問題和解決方案。它展示了網路拓撲和傳統損失網路的設計，接著是無控制分組網路、流量控制網路和多服務網路。還回顧了接入網路設計，最後考慮了可靠（可靠性）網路的設計和各種可靠性概念。

• 算法工具箱：本書提供了實施算法的實用建議，包括組合算法的編程方面。


• 大量解決問題和插圖：在可能的情況下，對同一個例子應用不同的解決方法，以比較性能並驗證精確性和適用性。


• 與技術無關：解決方案適用於各種網路設計問題，不依賴於特定技術。
