Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book surveys state-of-the-art optimization modeling for design, analysis, and management of wireless networks, such as cellular and wireless local area networks (LANs), and the services they deliver. The past two decades have seen a tremendous growth in the deployment and use of wireless networks. The current-generation wireless systems can provide mobile users with high-speed data services at rates substantially higher than those of the previous generation. As a result, the demand for mobile information services with high reliability, fast response times, and ubiquitous connectivity continues to increase rapidly. The optimization of system performance has become critically important both in terms of practical utility and commercial viability, and presents a rich area for research. In the editors' previous work on traditional wired networks, we have observed that designing low cost, survivable telecommunication networks involves extremely complicated processes. Commercial products available to help with this task typically have been based on simulation and/or proprietary heuristics. As demonstrated in this book, however, mathematical programming deserves a prominent place in the designer's toolkit. Convenient modeling languages and powerful optimization solvers have greatly facilitated the implementation of mathematical programming theory into the practice of commercial network design. These points are equally relevant and applicable in today’s world of wireless network technology and design. But there are new issues as well: many wireless network design decisions, such as routing and facility/element location, must be dealt with in innovative ways that are unique and distinct from wired (fiber optic) networks. The book specifically treats the recent research and the use of modeling languages and network optimization techniques that are playing particularly important and distinctive roles in the wireless domain.

Book excerpt: Wireless networking has emerged as an important area of research in the design of modern communications. Applications based on wireless networks span from ubiquitous voice communication to broadband wireless Internet and environment monitoring. As there is no "one size fits all" network, many different network architectures have been proposed in practice. Examples include the cellular architecture, the mesh architecture, and the ad hoc network architecture.This thesis provides an optimization framework for wireless network design. It puts the application needs as the optimization objective, and takes into account various design challenges across the network layers as optimization constraints. By adopting a "divide-and-conquer" strategy, this framework decomposes a complex optimization problem into several smaller subproblems, thus making efficient and distributed implementation possible.There are three main results in this thesis. First, we apply the optimization framework in wireless sensor network design by formulating a joint optimization of source coding, routing, and power allocation. Due to partial and correlated observations among the sensors, source coding distortion becomes a nonlinear and nonseparable function of all sensors' rates. We propose a novel source coding model, which allows efficient design of practical quantization schemes. We then present a dual algorithm, together with a technique called the column generation method, that allows an efficient solution for the overall sensor network design.Second, we address the throughput maximization problem in wireless mesh networks for broadband multimedia applications. In particular, we apply the optimization framework as a crosslayer strategy of joint multicast routing and interference management. We emphasize the network coding technique for multicast routing and a game theoretic method for interference management, for which efficient and distributed solutions are derived and illustrated.Third, we tackle the inter-cell interference problem in wireless cellular networks. We present efficient numerical solutions from either a (centralized) optimality perspective, or a (distributed) game theoretic perspective, or a combination of both. Our solutions dynamically balance the spectrum among multiple users with a taxation mechanism, and achieve significant improvement in spectral efficiency.

Book excerpt: Pervasive Computing and Networking aim at providing ubiquitous, ever-present, adaptable, smart, enveloping and immersive environments in which computing components and humans can interact regardless of the location. The combination of an abundance of computational power of the processors and the communication bandwidth provided by the wireless and mobile networking everywhere and all the time makes such environments within the reach of current technology. Yet, to realize the full potential of such environments, many technical and economical challenges needs to be overcome. These challenges and the perspective on the seminal directions of the research in this area were the subject of the Workshop for Pervasive Computing and Networking at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA. This book presents chapters based on presentations made at the workshop by leaders in the field. The scope of Advances in Pervasive Computing and Networking ranges from fundamental theory of pervasive computing and networking to crucial challenges and emerging applications. Such seminal topics as a scalable, self-organizing technology for sensor networks, the fundamental relationship between the achievable capacity and delay in mobile wireless networks, the role of self-optimization in sensor networks or similarities and differences between computer networks and their biological counterparts are the subject of the first group of chapters. The next group of chapters covers communication issues, such as cooperative communication in mobile, wireless and sensor networks, methods for maximizing aggregate throughput in 802.11 mesh networks with a physical carrier, and self-configuring location discovery systems for smart environments. The book closes with chapters focusing on sensor network emerging applications such as smart and safe buildings, a design for a distributed transmitter for reachback based on radar signals sensing and two-radio multi-channel clustering.
