Book SynopsisAs we reach the data transmission limits of copper wire and communications experts seek to bring the speed of long-haul fiber optics networks closer to access points, optical interconnects promise to provide efficient, high-speed data transmission for the next generation of networks and systems. They offer higher bit-rates, virtually no crosstalk, lower demands on power requirements and thermal management, and the possibility of two-dimensional channel arrays for chip-to-chip communication.The Handbook of Optical Interconnects introduces the systems and devices that will bring the speed and quality of optical transmission closer to the circuit board. Contributed by active experts, most from leading technology companies in the US and Japan, this outstanding handbook details various low-cost and small-size configurations, illustrates the discussion with more than 300 figures, and offers a look at the applications and future of this exciting and rapidly growing field.

Book SynopsisEffective management of a communications network can be a difficult and costly activity, and even more so when the network crosses international borders. International network managers face a number of issues that are crucial to strategic decision-making, including the varying telecommunications regulations, operators, and services found within-as well as between-different countries. Focusing on these issues, Management of International Networks clears the way for network managers to make informed, strategic decisions. The author describes each of these issues in detail and develops models-illustrated by actual case studies-that allow a quantified analysis of each. With the ability to quantitatively assess these factors, managers can forecast the potential of cost-effectively managing a network within a given country and make decisions, such as:Where to place hubs for traffic in an international network In what country to expand the network What servTable of ContentsManagement of International Networks.

Book SynopsisA large portion of the network capacity of an ad hoc network can be wasted by the medium access mechanisms of omni-directional antennas. To overcome this problem, researchers propose the use of directional or adaptive antennas that largely reduce radio interference, improving the utilization of wireless medium and the resulting network throughput.Enhancing the Performance of Ad Hoc Wireless Networks with Smart Antennas discusses these issues and challenges. Following an introduction to ad hoc networks, it presents an overview of basic Media Access Control (MAC) and routing protocols in ad hoc networks with omni-directional antennas. The book then focuses on the use of smart antennas in ad hoc networks and reviews the strategies used in designing MAC and routing protocols for improved medium utilization and improved routing performance with effective load balancing. Finally, it analyzes the design issues related to priority based quality-of-service (QoS) routing protocols, illusTable of ContentsIntroductionAd Hoc Networks: A PreambleCharacteristics of Ad Hoc Networks Some Prospective Usages of Ad Hoc Networks Some Research ChallengesPerformance Evaluation Techniques Organization of the Book The Issues and Challenges in Designing MAC and Routing ProtocolsMedia Access Control TechniquesRouting Protocols in Ad Hoc Wireless Networks Performance Evaluation Techniques Location Tracking and Media Access Control Using Smart AntennasIntroduction Introduction to Smart AntennasLocation-Tracking Mechanisms for Neighborhood DiscoveryDirectional Media Access Control Protocols A Few Assumptions and the RationalesPerformance Evaluation Discussion Location Tracking and Location Estimation of Nodes in Ad Hoc Networks: A Testbed ImplementationIntroduction Location Tracking and Neighborhood Discovery Location EstimationImplementation Results Error in Location Estimation: A Simulation StudyDiscussionA Routing Strategy for Effective Load Balancing Using SmartAntennas Introduction System Description Network-Aware Routing with Maximally Zone-Disjoint Shortest Path: An AnalysisMaximally Zone-Disjoint Multipath RoutingPerformance Evaluation DiscussionsPriority-Based QoS Routing Protocols Using Smart Antennas Introduction A Few Related DefinitionsPriority-Based QoS Routing Using Zone ReservationPriority-Based Flow-Rate Control for QoS ProvisioningUsing Feedback ControlService Differentiation in Multi-Hop Intervehicular CommunicationDiscussionsConclusion

Book SynopsisThis book introduces different interconnection networks applied to different systems. Interconnection networks are used to communicate processing units in a multi-processor system, routers in communication networks, and servers in data centers. Queuing techniques are applied to interconnection networks to support a higher utilization of resources. There are different queuing strategies, and these determine not only the performance of the interconnection network, but also the set of requirements to make them work effectively and their cost. Routing algorithms are used to find routes to destinations and directions in what information travels. Additional properties, such as avoiding deadlocks and congestion, are sought. Effective routing algorithms need to be paired up with these networks. The book will introduce the most relevant interconnection networks, queuing strategies, and routing algorithm. It discusses their properties and how these leverage the performance of the whole iTrade Review"The organization of the book is very convenient. It is easy to read each part separately. Moving around the book is easy with a table of contents at the beginning of the book and separate tables of contents starting each chapter. In addition, every chapter ends with sample exercises. All parts of the book are richly illustrated with numerous figures. According to the saying that one image is worth a thousand words, drawings make it much easier for a reader to follow the discussion.The book ends with a very solid bibliography containing 191 positions. The largest part of the bibliography gathers positions from the 1990s and 2000s, but some positions from the three most recent years are also included. Interested readers will then be able to broaden their self-studies on interconnection networks. The bibliography is followed by the useful terms index. In my opinion, this book is mostly aimed at undergraduate students interested in modern telecommunication and computer networks. Nevertheless, graduate students will also find this book a helpful textbook for their learning efforts."—IEEE Communications Magazine, July 2017 IssueTable of ContentsPart I: Processor Interconnections.
