Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Opportunistic networking, by definition, allows devices to communicate whenever a window of opportunity is available. Many emerging technologies employ opportunistic exchanges of information. This book addresses this trend in communications engineering, taking into account three specific areas-vehicular, device-to-device (D2D), and cognitive radio-while describing the opportunistic communication methods of each. From smart homes to smart cities, smart agriculture to never-die-networks and beyond, the text explores the state of the art of opportunistic networking, providing the latest research, developments, and practices in one concise source.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This text presents an intuitive treatment of mathematics using ultrasmall numbers. With this modern approach to infinitesimals, proofs become simpler and more focused on the combinatorial heart of arguments, unlike traditional treatments that use epsilon-delta methods. Readers can fully prove fundamental results, such as the Extreme Value Theorem, from the axioms immediately, without needing to master notions of supremum or compactness. The book includes numerous exercises throughout and at the end of each chapter.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Through numerous examples and end-of-chapter exercises, this book develops readers' analytical and computational skills in the theory and applications of transform methods. It covers advanced mathematical methods for many applications in science and engineering. The book presents a systematic development of the underlying theory as well as a modern approach to Fourier, Laplace, Hankel, Mellin, Radon, Gabor, wavelet, and Z transforms. This third edition includes revised chapters, several new sections, new examples of applications, new exercises with solutions, and many more new features.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Simulation is a widely used mechanism for validating the theoretical model of networking or communication systems. Although the claims made based on simulations are considered to be reliable, how reliable they really are is best determined with real-world implementation trials. This book addresses various issues covering different mechanisms related to simulation technologies in networking and communications fields. Focusing on the practice of simulation testing instead of the theory, it reviews and evaluates popular simulation modeling tools and recommends the best tools for specific tests.
