Cross-Layer Resource Allocation in Wireless Communications

Resource allocation in wireless networks is traditionally approached either through information theory or communications networks. To break through the barriers between these different approaches, this book is a network of Excellence in Wireless Communications (NEWCOM ++) .

Cross-Layer Resource Allocation 's unique approach can increase the problem of shadowing. Topics covered include different views of spectral efficiency, OFDMA systems.

This will be an ideal reference for the network and cognitive systems.

"This is a nice topic on the cross-layer optimization of wireless systems." - Lang Tong, Irwin and Joan Jacobs Professor in Engineering, School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Cornell University, USA

"The authors have written a broad perspective on the concept of multi-user wireless systems." - Professor Velio Tralli, University of Ferrara Communication Technologies Laboratory

* Gives a full description of the PHY layer
* Gives special emphasis on cross-layer design for spatial diversity schemes
* Provides a framework for interaction between PHY and MAC layers, and their parameters of performance and their relationship
* Presents resource allocation as a cross-layer design based on the PHY layer
