With the advance of wireless networks, building reliable and secured network connections is becoming extremely important. On the other hand, ad hoc networks become especially important and have many useful applications. The primary focus of this book is to present these two hot and rapidly evolving areas in wireless networks. Security and scheduling/routing in wireless networks remain challenging research problems due to the complexity involved. How to develop more efficient and reliable wireless networks remains a hot research area. It is this realisation that has motivated the editing of this book. The goal of the book is to serve as a reference for both security in wireless networks and channel access, scheduling, and routing in ad hoc networks. In this book, the authors review important developments and new strategies for these topics. Important features and limitations of methods and models are identified. Consequently, this book can serve as a useful reference for researchers, educators, graduate students, and practitioners in the field of wireless networks. This book contains 14 invited chapters from prominent researchers working in this area around the world. All of the cha

This book offers a practical guide on how to use and apply channel models for system evaluation In this book, the authors focus on modeling and simulation of multiple antennas channels, including multiple input multiple output (MIMO) communication channels, and the impact of such models on channel estimation and system performance. Both narrowband and wideband models are addressed. Furthermore, the book covers topics related to modeling of MIMO channel, their numerical simulation, estimation and prediction, as well as applications to receive diversity, capacity and space-time coding techniques. Key Features: Contains significant background material, as well as novel research coverage, which make the book suitable for both graduate students and researchers Addresses issues such as key-hole, correlated and non i.i.d. channels in the frame of the Generalized Gaussian approach Provides a unique treatment of generalized Gaussian channels and orthogonal channel representation Reviews different interpretations of scattering environment, including geometrical models Focuses on the analytical techniques which give a good insight into the design of systems on higher levels Describes a number of numerical simulators demonstrating the practical use of this material. Includes an accompanying website containing additional materials and practical examples for self-study This book will be of interest to researchers, engineers, lecturers, and graduate students.
