Nova Science Publishers Inc Medium Access Control in Wireless Networks
Book SynopsisWireless technologies and applications are becoming one of the fastest growing and most promising areas in recent years. To accommodate data transmission by multiple stations sharing the scarce wireless bandwidth, a medium access control (MAC) protocol plays a crucial role in scheduling packet transmission fairly and efficiently. The emerging wireless networks, such as ad-hoc networks, sensor networks or mesh networks, are mostly multi-hop based and in distributed manner, which brings a lot of problems and challenges in designing fine-tuned MAC protocols tailored for modern wireless network. In this book, the authors give complete and in-depth overviews to the classic medium access control algorithms and the related protocols, as well as their applications in various wireless data networks especially the most successful Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN). The book consists of three major parts. Part I of this book, including Chapters 1-7, is emphasising on the fundamentals of medium access control algorithms and protocols. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the wireless networks, such as overview of wireless networks, problems and challenges of the wireless networks, and the classifications of MAC protocols as well as the performance metrics. Chapter 2 introduces important collision resolution algorithms applied in medium access controls, for example, the splitting algorithm and the backoff algorithm. Chapter 3 reviews the hybrid access control algorithms that combine both contention and allocation schemes. A series of important collision avoidance schemes are introduced in Chapters 4-7 respectively, with a specific design goal covered in each chapter. Chapter 4 focuses on the multi-channel MAC protocols for collision avoidance; Chapter 5 introduces the concepts of power control and power management in medium access control and how they can be applied in MAC protocol design; Chapter 6 presents how to provide Quality-of- Service (QoS) to multimedia wireless networks, in either centralised or distributed manner; and Chapter 7 explains how the smart antennas can be applied in the medium access control to provide high channel throughput and low packet collision.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Young Women with Unplanned Pregnancies in
Book SynopsisObjectives: This book examined the decision making process and health seeking patterns of low-income young women with unplanned pregnancies who opted for abortion, putting baby up for adoption, or keeping the baby. Methods: Research methodology in this book focused on formative research utilising qualitative data. The study was conducted covering all five shelters and low-income communities in Bangkok, Thailand. The data collection was through Focus Group Discussions, and in-depth interview. Forty-five cases were purposively recruited into the study. The data were analysed using content analysis. Results: From the qualitative research, the results indicated that the majority of the young women tended to select abortion as their first choice, while a few cases continued their pregnancies to term without any attempt to terminate the pregnancy. These women tended to delay seeking assistance once they found out their pregnancy situation. Majority of the low-income young women were more likely to resort self-medication as their first alternative, which was sometimes hazardous to their health. Decision on self-medication or abortions with unskilled personnel sometimes resulted in serious and life-threatening complications. Many pregnancy-termination situations resulted from self-medication. While most of these women made the important decision themselves, they still sought advice, guidance, and support from their partners, peers and parents. When the first attempt failed, they would seek a second or third attempt until they felt it was not possible to achieve what they had planned. Most women with unplanned pregnancies knew that they had options regarding termination of their pregnancies but their main concern was confidentiality. Consequently, the women who wanted to terminate their pregnancies adopted three patterns of action, i.e., 1) visiting drugstores / grocery stores, 2) visiting private clinics or hospitals, and 3) using physical pressure or vigorous actions. Most of the women realised that private clinics provided effective methods for terminating pregnancy, but due to its high cost, they would first resort self-medication or self-management. If they were not successful, they would then visit a private clinic and asked others to support the cost. Understanding the women''s decisions making process and their health seeking patterns utilisation allows us to understand their decision and course of actions. The program managers, implementers, providers, partners, parents/relatives, and friends should do as much as possible to support the decision of the women in order to provide better information and services to reduce the impact, both physical and mental, of their selected choice.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Wireless Networks: Research, Technology &
Book SynopsisCoverage problem is an important and fundamental issue in sensor networks, which reflects how well a sensor network is monitored or tracked by a sensor. The current research on coverage problem in sensor networks are reviewed in this book. Specifically, two types of sensor coverage are investigated: area coverage and target coverage. In addition, the degree to which the goals of pervasive Internet and network access have been realised with community wireless networks is explored. Call-level performance modelling and QoS Assessment of W-CDMA networks is also addressed. In particular, multi-service teletraffic models suitable for the QoS assessment of W-CDMA networks is looked at. Angle of arrival (AOA) estimation is a significant technology in wireless networks, which can be exploited to locate mobile units, enhance communication efficiency and network capacity, and support location-aided routing. The many different high-resolution algorithms for AOA estimation is discussed. The performance of the algorithms is analysed and compared, and evaluated against theoretical lower bounds. One of the most important network security objectives is authentication, which means to know who send the data and where it came from. An intelligent authentication and key agreement mechanism for e-Hospital applications is proposed in this book. In addition, a mathematical model for calculating the coverage fraction in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is addressed. Furthermore, a comprehensive survey of recent researches on intentional mobility of WSN''s is given. An overview of the cognitive radio technology and latest research developments in different layers of the protocol stack are discussed. Important topics such as wide-band spectrum sensing, transceiver architecture and dynamic spectrum allocation are reviewed as well. An overview of how satellite networking affects TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is examined. The main performance enhancing techniques encountered in the literature is also looked at. A mobile network architecture which addresses the handoff delays and protocol overheads of NEMO are presented. The feasibility of the architecture is evaluated by comparing its performance with state of the art proposals using both analytical and empirical data. Finally, an Art Colony Optimisation (ACO) based method is proposed to reduce the computational and communication overhead for wireless networks.

Artech House Publishers Implementing Full Duplexing for 5G
Book SynopsisThis exciting new book examines the feasibility of using a method of doubling the capacity of cellular networks by simultaneously transmitting and receiving signals at the same frequency, a process known as full duplexing (FD). To realize full duplexing, changes in the hardware of the cell- base stations, relaying equipment, “hot spot” access points and mobile phones are necessary to prevent the hardware’s transmitters from interfering with their own receivers. This requires looking at how to separate the strong transmitted signal from the very weak received signal, a process requiring both hardware (analog) changes and more complex digital signal processing. Different ways of achieving that goal are examined. The books reviews the merits of hardware changes involving new duplexing components that may be different depending on the frequency band and cell hardware being used.Developing full duplex (FD) systems in 5G LTE cellular communications and what can be achieved with ferrite-based circulators in terms of size reduction and performance enhancement, especially at millimetric frequencies, is considered. The relative merits of ferrite and non-ferrite circulators are compared in terms of their fundamental materials and device technologies, such as isolation, insertion loss, bandwidth and non-linearity. FD in the entire 5G cell is also examined and its resulting range of equipment and device communication. This includes front-hauling, more sophisticated back and front-hauling, backhaul beam switching, and cell extenders and relays, all of which could involve FD.Table of ContentsFull Duplexing; Self Interference; SI reduction-Solutions from Academic Groups; Non-Reciprocal Magnetism Physics; Practical Spatio-Temporal circulation approaches; Limitations of Semiconductor based Circulators; Current Ferrite Circulator Technology; Unbiased Ferrite Devices; Newer Transmission Line Technologies; New Materials and Packaging; Comparison of Ferrite and Semi-conductor based Circulators for Full Duplex; Future Full Duplex 5G Applications
