Description
This book is about the performance modelling and analysis of heterogeneous networks, such as wireless and optical networks. It covers recent advances in networks of diverse technology, and is ideal for personnel in computer/communication industries as well as academic staff and master/research students in computer science, operational research, electrical engineering and telecommunication systems and the Internet.
Over the recent years, a considerable amount of effort has been devoted, both in industry and academia, towards the performance modelling, evaluation and prediction of convergent multi-service heterogeneous networks, such as wireless and optical networks, towards the design and dimensioning of the next and future generation Internets. This book follows Heterogeneous Networks: Traffic Engineering, Performance Evaluation Studies and Tools and presents recent advances in networks of diverse technology reflecting the state-of-the-art technology and research achievements in performance modelling, analysis and applications worldwide. Technical topics discussed in the book include: * Multiservice Switching Networks; * Multiservice Switching Networks; * Wireless Ad Hoc Networks; * Wireless Sensor Networks; * Wireless Cellular Networks; * Optical Networks; Heterogeneous Networks:- Performance Modelling and Analysis contains recently extended research papers, which have their roots in the series of the HET-NETs International Working Conferences focusing on the 'Performance Modelling and Evaluation of Heterogeneous Networks' under the auspices of the EU Networks of Excellence Euro-NGI and Euro-FGI. Heterogeneous Networks: Performance Modelling and Analysis is ideal for personnel in computer/communication industries as well as academic staff and master/research students in computer science, operational research, electrical engineering and telecommunication systems and the Internet. Keywords Heterogeneous networks, performance modelling and analysis, wired networks, wireless networks: ad hoc, sensor and cellular, optical networks, next and future generation Internets.
