About this Item

Hardcover. Written in a unique style, this book is a valuable resource for faculty, graduate students, and researchers in the communications and networking area whose work interfaces with optimization. It teaches you how various optimization methods can be applied to solve complex problems in wireless networks. Each chapter reviews a specific optimization method and then demonstrates how to apply the theory in practice through a detailed case study taken from state-of-the-art research. You will learn various tips and step-by-step instructions for developing optimization models, reformulations, and transformations, particularly in the context of cross-layer optimization problems in wireless networks involving flow routing (network layer), scheduling (link layer), and power control (physical layer). Throughout, a combination of techniques from both operations research and computer science disciplines provides a holistic treatment of optimization methods and their applications. Each chapter includes homework exercises, with PowerPoint slides and a solutions manual for instructors available online. Provides a variety of practical optimization techniques and modeling tips for solving challenging wireless networking problems. Case studies show how the techniques can be applied in practice, homework exercises are given at the end of each chapter, and PowerPoint slides are available online, together with a solutions manual for instructors. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
