Advances in Mobile Computing and Communications: Perspectives and Emerging Trends in 5G 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.

到2020年，如果不是更早的話，移動計算和無線系統預計將進入第五代（5G），這承諾提供進化性，如果不是革命性的服務。這些先進服務的外觀、聲音和感覺是《移動計算和通信的進展：5G網絡的觀點和新興趨勢》這本書的主題。該書探討了5G通信和網絡方面的未來主義和引人入勝的想法。因此，它是高級開發人員、通信網絡科學家、研究人員、學者和研究生的優秀指南。

作者們討論了基於3G、LTE、LTE-A、4G及其後的計算模型、通信架構和協議。主題包括4G的進展、4G網絡的無線傳播和信道建模方面、4G的有限反饋以及在OFDMA蜂窩網絡中應用博弈論進行功率控制和子載波分配。此外，該書還涵蓋了5G網絡的毫米波技術、多蜂窩異構網絡以及使用HetNets實現4G及其後的節能移動無線網絡運營。最後，作者們深入探討了具有P2P WiFi和蜂窩供應商的機會式多連接網絡以及4G及其後的無線通道上的視頻流傳輸。
