Cross-Layer Design for Cooperative Wireless Networks. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, March 2009, Pages: 128
Wireless communication is not only one of the most
vibrant research areas in the telecommunication
field, but also one of the biggest engineering
successes in the last twenty years. Cooperation and
cross-layer design are two emerging techniques for
improving the performance of wireless networks. In
this book, novel cooperative cross-layer techniques
are proposed in three areas of wireless networks:
cooperative beamforming, wireless security and
collision resolution. First, a framework of
cross-layer cooperative beamforming is presented to
enable long-distance wireless communications in an
energy and bandwidth efficient fashion. Second, a
novel cross-layer cooperative approach to wireless
security is proposed to overcome the limitations of
traditional physical layer security approaches posed
by the wireless channel. Finally, a multi-channel and
cross-layer extension of a cooperative collision
resolution scheme (named ALLIANCES) is proposed for
broadband wireless networks. The targeted readers of
this book are researchers and engineers who are
interested in physical and medium access control
(MAC) layer issues in wireless communications.
