With this comprehensive resource, readers will discover how the use of cognitive techniques helps to improve wireless communication. Starting with chapters on resource allocation, cellular networks, and cognitive radio, the book progresses to game theory, variational inequalities, control theory, and reinforcement learning. The material then delves into spectrum sensing, dynamic spectrum management, and transmit power control and, ultimately, investigates the dynamics of cognitive radio networks. • Wireless communications systems increasingly use cognition to enhance their networks • Cognitive computers are increasingly able to match the human brain in tasks of object detection, tracking, and control • Cognition can be applied to alleviate problems with traditional energy systems Series: Adaptive and Cognitive Dynamic Systems: Signal Processing, Learning, Communications and Control Print ISBN: 978-1-118-30296-5 | Cloth | €125.00 | Sep 2017 | 250PP Fundamentals of Cognitive Radio Smart Cities Foundations, Principles and Applications Houbing Song, Ravi Srinivasan, Tamim Sookoor & Sabina Jeschke • Addresses how to develop a smart city and present the state of the art and practice of smart cities all over the world • Focuses on the foundations and principles needed for advancing science, engineering and technology of smart cities, including system design; system verification; Real-time Control and Adaptation; Internet of Things; and testbeds • Covers applications of Smart Cities as they relate to Smart Transportation/Connected Vehicle (CV)/ Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) for improved mobility, safety and environmental protection Print ISBN: 978-1-119-22639-0 | Cloth | €155.00 | Jul 2017 | 906PP The IEEE Guide to Writing in the Engineering and Technical Fields David Kmiec & Bernadette Longo • Addresses the increasing demand for technical writing courses geared toward engineers • Readers will perfect their writing skills in order to present knowledge and ideas to clients, government, and general public • Covers topics most important to the working engineer, includes sample documents • Companion website includes engineering documents based on real engineering projects Series: IEEE PCS Professional Engineering Communication Series Print ISBN: 978-1-119-07013-9 | Paper | €53.90 | Sep 2017 | 250PP
