Advanced Wireless Networks Technology and Business Models

The third edition of this popular reference covers enabling technologies for building up 5G wireless networks. Due to extensive research and complexity of the incoming solutions for the next generation of wireless networks it is anticipated that the industry will select a subset of these results and leave some advanced technologies to be implemented later,. This new edition presents a carefully chosen combination of the candidate network architectures and the required tools for their analysis.  Due to the complexity of the technology, the discussion on 5G will be extensive and it will be difficult to reach consensus on the new global standard.  The discussion will have to include the vendors, operators, regulators as well as the research and academic community in the field. Having a comprehensive book will help many participants to join actively the discussion and make meaningful contribution to shaping the new standard.

Savo Glisic, Professor of Telecommunications, University of Oulu, Finland
Head of the Networking Research Group, and Director of Globalcomm Institute for Telecommunications. He was Visiting Scientist at Cranfield Institute of Technology, Cranfield, U.K. (1976-1977) and University of California, San Diego (1986-1987). He has been active in the field of wireless communications for 30 years. His research interest is in the area of network optimization theory, network topology control and graph theory, cognitive networks and game theory, radio resource management, QoS and queuing theory, networks information theory, protocol design, advanced routing and network coding, relaying, cellular, WLAN, ad hoc, sensor, active and bio inspired networks with emphasis on genetic algorithms and stochastic geometry. He runs an extensive doctoral program in the field of wireless networking (www.telecomlab.oulu.fi/kurssit/networks/).
