Abstract

Resource allocation in wireless networks is traditionally approached either through information theory or communications networks. To break down the barriers between these distinct approaches, this book bridges the gap between the physical and network layers by providing cross-layer resource allocation techniques, models and methodologies. It presents resource allocation as a cross-layer design based on an optimization of MAC layer parameters within an accurate model of the PHY layer.* Unique cross-layer approach to optimising network resources by thoroughly linking the physical and MAC layer* Provides R&D and network design engineers cross-layer techniques, models and methodologies for improved quality of service the most practical book in this area on the market* Authors are from a top telecommunications research center in Barcelona
