Over the past years, there has been a considerable research activity in the field
of wireless cooperative communications and networking. By now, this field has
reached a mature level and there is a definite need to organize research results
and present them in a unified manner. This is precisely the objective and
strength of this book: to deliver in a coherent and consistent story the stateof-
the-art in cooperative communications and networking. This grueling effort
will benefit graduate students in advanced topics in wireless communications,
active researchers to identify new directions, as well as designers to stay
current for the latest findings.
The authors of Cooperative Communications and Networking – Technologies
and System Design have delivered extensive and fundamental results in
this subject. From this vantage point, they were able to provide a timely
and comprehensive view of this exciting topic. To allow for consistency and
self-containment, the authors first review wireless communications basics,
with special emphasis on diversity techniques, capacity, and design tradeoffs.
Building on these necessary foundations, simple illustrative cooperation
models are first analyzed followed by extensions comprising multiple relays
and sources. The last part delineates how cooperation can be integrated with
advanced wireless transmission technologies as well as how it permeates the
benefits of cooperation at the physical layer to higher-layers of the protocol
stack.
The end result is a book that not only paves the road for newcomers in
the classroom and industry, but also serves as reference material for active
researchers and network designers in this field. |

Peer-to-Peer Computing: Applications, Architecture, Protocols, and Challenges
Peer-to-peer computing, at least on a conceptual level, is a genuine paradigm
shift—intelligence is at the edge, computing is completely decentralized, and
the network is just there to knit the distributed intelligence together. Indeed,
with advancements in hardware technology, proliferation of the open source
development... | | Scene of the Cybercrime: Computer Forensics Handbook
