This article's goal is to provide an in-depth understanding of the principles of FSMC
modeling of fading channels with its applications in wireless communication systems. While …

In this article we propose a cross-layer approach to investigate the impact of the physical-
layer infrastructure on the data-link-layer QoS performance in mobile wireless networks. At …

Relay selection is crucial in improving the performance of wireless cooperative networks.
Most previous works for relay selection use the current observed channel conditions to make …

For multihop and ad hoc networks, a conventional 1-D channel model cannot capture the
spatial correlation of the shadowing processes. This paper investigates the joint spatial …

In metro passenger information systems (PISs), frequent train handoffs can cause severe
video distortion. In this paper, we take an integrated design approach to jointly optimize …

DASH, the Dynamic adaptive video streaming over hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP), has
become the de-facto video delivery mechanism nowadays, which takes advantage of the …

A communication-based train control (CBTC) system is an automated train control system
using bidirectional train-ground communications to ensure the safe operation of rail …

This book introduces the theoretical elements at the basis of various classes of algorithms
commonly employed in the physical layer (and, in part, in MAC layer) of wireless …

Communication-based train control (CBTC) is being rapidly adopted in urban rail transit
systems, as it can significantly enhance railway network efficiency, safety, and capacity …

Wireless systems offer a unique mixture of connectivity, flexibility, and freedom. It is therefore
not surprising that wireless technology is being embraced with increasing vigor. For real …
