Digital & Wireless Communications Multihomed Communication with SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) Edited by
Victor C.M. Leung, Eduardo Parente Ribeiro, and Alan Wagner Multihomed communication is clearly a trend of next generation networks, which will be heterogeneous in nature. There is no known book covering this topic exclusively. This is probably because a good framework for its implementation has only recently been established by SCTP. There are very few books about SCTP in general and no known book exploring multihomed communication with SCTP. A book in this topic should help many researchers and programmers to learn about multihomed communications in general, and to take full advantage of multihomed communications with SCTP specifically.

Principles of Electromagnetic Waves and Materials is a condensed version of the author’s previously published textbook, Electromagnetic Waves, Materials, and Computation with MATLAB®. This book focuses on lower-level courses, primarily senior undergraduate and graduate students in electromagnetic waves and materials courses. It takes an integrative approach to the subject of electromagnetics by supplementing quintessential "old-school" information and methods with the appropriate amount of material on plasmas for exposing the students to the broad area of plasmonics and by striking a balance between theoretical and practical aspects. Ancillary materials are available upon qualifying course adoption.
Focusing on resource optimization for distributed video and multimedia communications, this book examines four applications in optimal resource allocations with distributed algorithms, including problem formulation, theoretical analysis, and simulation results. Suitable for both industry practitioners and academics, it introduces the characteristics, recent advances, and current challenges in distributed systems as well as a solutions framework to tackle those challenges. Discussing cutting-edge topics such as the theory of convex optimization and the development of a distributed algorithm using dual decomposition, the book concludes with open issues to stimulate further learning.

This book examines Single-Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA). Exploring the emerging trend of cooperative communication and how it can improve the physical layer security, it considers the design of distributed coding schemes and protocols for wireless relay networks where users cooperate to send their data to the destination. It also proposes a cooperative diversity protocol implementing spacetime coding for an arbitrary number of relay nodes with Amplify-and-Forward (AF) protocol.
The book presents the current standards of digital multiplexing, called synchronous digital hierarchy, including analog multiplexing technologies. It is aimed at telecommunication professionals who want to develop an understanding of digital multiplexing and synchronous digital hierarchy in particular and the functioning of practical telecommunication systems in general. The text includes all relevant fundamentals and provides a handy reference for problem solving or defining operations and maintenance strategies.
