Beschreibung:
Cross-layer design seeks to enhance the capacity of wireless networks significantly through the joint optimization of multiple layers in the network, primarily the physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layers. Although there are advantages of such design in wireline networks as well, this approach is particularly advantageous for wireless networks due to the properties (such as mobility and interference) that strongly affect performance and design of higher layer protocols.
This monograph is a peerless introduction to cross-layer design in wireless networks, detailing the field's development and state-of-the-art results. It discusses topics such as multiuser detection, integrated radio resource allocation, and integrated admission control. Its concise style, along with numerous illustrations, makes it an excellent reference for engineers, researchers and students working in communication networks.
