Duringthe past years, there has been a quickly rising interest in radio access technologies for providing
mobile as well as nomadic and fixed services for voice, video, and data. This proves that the difference
in design, implementation, and use between telecom and datacom technologies is also becoming more
blurred. What used to be a mobile phone used for voice communication is today increasingly
becoming the main data communication device for end-users, providing web browsing, social
networking, and many other services.
It is commonly accepted today that optical fiber communications have revolutionized
telecommunications. Indeed, dramatic changes have been induced in the way we interact
with our relatives, friends, and colleagues: we retrieve information, we entertain and
educate ourselves, we buy and sell, we organize our activities, and so on, in a long list
of activities. Optical fiber systems initially allowed for a significant curb in the cost of
transmission and later on they sparked the process of a major rethinking regarding some,
generation-old, telecommunication concepts like the (OSI)-layer definition, the lack of
cross-layer dependency, the oversegmentation and overfragmentation of telecommunica-
tions networks, and so on.
The continued reduction of integrated circuit feature sizes and
commensurate improvements in device performance are fueling the progress
to higher functionality and new application areas. For example, over the last
15 years, the performance of microprocessors has increased 1000 times.
Analog circuit performance has also improved, albeit at a slower pace. For
example, over the same period the speed/resolution figure-of-merit of
analog-to-digital converters improved by only a factor 10.
The recent developments in full duplex (FD) commu-
nication promise doubling the capacity of cellular networks using
self interference cancellation (SIC) techniques. FD small cells
with device-to-device (D2D) communication links could achieve
the expected capacity of the future cellular networks (5G). In
this work, we consider joint scheduling and dynamic power
algorithm (DPA) for a single cell FD small cell network with
D2D links (D2DLs). We formulate the optimal user selection and
power control as a non-linear programming (NLP) optimization
problem to get the optimal user scheduling and transmission
power in a given TTI. Our numerical results show that using
DPA gives better overall throughput performance than full power
transmission algorithm (FPA). Also, simultaneous transmissions
(combination of uplink (UL), downlink (DL), and D2D occur
80% of the time thereby increasing the spectral efficiency and
network capacity
Currently, the information and communications technology (ICT) industry sector
accounts for about 2–6% of the energy consumption worldwide, and a significant por-
tion of this is contributed by the wireless and mobile communications industry. With
the proliferation of wireless data applications, wireless technology continues to increase
worldwide at an unprecedented growth rate. This has resulted in an increased number
of installed base stations and higher demand on power grids and device power usage,
causing an increased carbon footprint worldwide.
With the rapid growth in the number of wireless applications, services and devices,
using a single wireless technology such as a second generation (2G) and third gener-
ation (3G) wireless system would not be efficient to deliver high speed data rate and
quality-of-service (QoS) support to mobile users in a seamless way. The next genera-
tion wireless systems (also sometimes referred to as Fourth generation (4G) systems)
are being devised with the vision of heterogeneity in which a mobile user/device will
be able to connect to multiple wireless networks (e.g., WLAN, cellular, WMAN)
simultaneously.
Many good textbooks exist on probability and random processes written at the under-
graduate level to the research level. However, there is no one handy and ready book
that explains most of the essential topics, such as random variables and most of their
frequently used discrete and continuous probability distribution functions; moments,
transformation, and convergences of random variables; characteristic and generating
functions; estimation theory and the associated orthogonality principle; vector random
variables; random processes and their autocovariance and cross-covariance functions; sta-
tionarity concepts; and random processes through linear systems and the associated
Wiener and Kalman filters.
Soon after Samuel Morse’s telegraphing device led to a deployed electri-
cal telecommunications system in 1843, waiting lines began to form by those
wanting to use the system. At this writing queueing is still a significant factor in
designing and operating communications services, whether they are provided
over the Internet or by other means, such as circuit switched networks.
The first edition of this book was published in 1992. Nine years later it had become
clear that a second edition was required because of the rapidly changing nature of
telecommunication. In 1992, the Internet was in existence but it was not the
household word that it is in the year 2001. Cellular telephones were also in use
but they had not yet achieved the popularity that they enjoy today. In the current
edition, Chapter 1 has been revised to include a section on the Internet. Chapter 10 is
new and it covers the facsimile machine; I had overlooked this important tele-
communication device in the first edition. Chapter 11 is also new and it describes the
pager, the cordless telephone and the cellular telephone system. These are examples
of a growing trend in telecommunications to go ‘‘wireless’’.
