Joy Kuri
ISBN: 978-0-12-374254-4
This book concentrates on the three main components of wireless
networks: fixed wireless networks, mobile access networks, and
wireless mesh, ad hoc, and sensor networks. The problems and solutions
encountered in these three main types of wireless networks is the
subject of this book. The authors present wireless networking problems
and solutions within the underlying framework of resource allocation
while sharing a wireless spectrum (i.e., modeling and analysis,
optimization and control). Part I of the book provides a foundational
perspective of wireless communications, or the physical (PHY) layer,
which informs the models needed to understand later portion of
the book. Part II covers fixed wireless access networks, those
networks that have a fixed infrastructure such as base stations
or one-hop access points. Part III covers mobile access networks,
covering emerging areas such as ad hoc, mesh, and wireless sensor
networks. A three-part structure will be used to describe and explain
the concepts and practices: 1) state the problem; 2) state the
issues to be resolved; 3) set forth the solution in mathematical
and/or practical terms... [more]

Network Analysis, Architecture, and Design, 3rd Edition
James McCabe
ISBN: 978-0-12-370480-1
Traditionally, networking
has had little or no basis in analysis or architectural development,
with designers relying on technologies they are most familiar with
or being influenced by vendors or consultants. However, the landscape
of networking has changed so that network services have now become
one of the most important factors to the success of many third
generation networks. It has become an important feature of the
designer?s job to define the problems that exist in his network,
choose and analyze several optimization parameters during the analysis
process, and then prioritize and evaluate these parameters in the
architecture and design of the system... [more]

Digital Watermarking and Steganography, 2nd Edition
Ingemar Cox
Matthew Miller
Jeffrey Bloom
Jessica Fridrich
Ton Kalker
ISBN: 978-0-12-372585-1
Digital audio, video, images,
and documents are flying through cyberspace to their respective
owners. Unfortunately, along the way, individuals may choose to
intervene and take this content for themselves. Digital watermarking
and steganography technology greatly reduces the instances of this
by limiting or eliminating the ability of third parties to decipher
the content that he has taken. The many techiniques of digital
watermarking (embedding a code) and steganography (hiding information)
continue to evolve as applications that necessitate them do the
same. The authors of this second edition provide an update on the
framework for applying these techniques that they provided researchers
and professionals in the first well-received edition. Steganography
and steganalysis (the art of detecting hidden information) have
been added to a robust treatment of digital watermarking, as many
in each field research and deal with the other. New material includes
watermarking with side information, QIM, and dirty-paper codes.
The revision and inclusion of new material by these influential
authors has created a must-own book for anyone in this profession... [more]
