With the increasing worldwide trend in population migration into urban centers, we are beginning to see the emergence of the kinds of mega-cities which were once the stuff of science fiction. It is clear to most urban planners and developers that accommodating the needs of the tens of millions of inhabitants of those megalopolises in an orderly and uninterrupted manner will require the seamless integration of and real-time monitoring and response services for public utilities and transportation systems. Part speculative look into the future of the world’s urban centers, part technical blueprint, this visionary book helps lay the groundwork for the communication networks and services on which tomorrow’s “smart cities” will run. Written by a uniquely well-qualified author team, this book provides detailed insights into the technical requirements for the wireless sensor and actuator networks required to make smart cities a reality.

This brief examines current research on cooperative device-to-device (D2D) communication as an enhanced offloading technology to improve the performance of cognitive radio cellular networks. By providing an extensive review of recent advances in D2D communication, the authors demonstrate that the quality of D2D links significantly affects offloading performance in cellular networks, which motivates the design of cooperative D2D communication. After presenting the architecture of cooperative D2D communication, the challenges of capacity maximization and energy efficiency are addressed by optimizing relay assignment, power control and resource allocation. Furthermore, cooperative D2D communication is enhanced by network coding technology, and then is extended for broadcast sessions. Along with detailed problem formulation and hardness analysis, fast algorithms are developed by exploiting problem-specific characteristics such that they can be applied in practice.

This book presents the fundamental concepts, recent advancements, and opportunities for future research in various key enabling technologies in next-generation wireless communications. The book serves as a comprehensive source of information in all areas of wireless communications with a particular emphasis on physical (PHY) layer techniques related to 5G wireless systems and beyond. In particular, this book focuses on different emerging techniques that can be adopted in 5G wireless networks. Some of those techniques include massive-MIMO, mm-Wave communications, spectrum sharing, device-to-device (D2D) and vehicular to anything (V2X) communications, radio-frequency (RF) based energy harvesting, and NOMA. Subsequent chapters cover the fundamentals and PHY layer design aspects of different techniques that can be useful for the readers to get familiar with the emerging technologies and their applications.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research and standardization progress towards the 5th generation (5G) of mobile communications technology and beyond. It covers a wide range of topics from 5G use cases and their requirements, to spectrum, 5G end-to-end (E2E) system architecture including core network (CN), transport network (TN) and radio access network (RAN) architecture, network slicing, security and network management. It further dives into the detailed functional design and the evaluation of different 5G concepts, and provides details on planned trials and pre-commercial deployments across the globe. While the book naturally captures the latest agreements in 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) New Radio (NR) Release 15, it goes significantly beyond this by describing the likely developments towards the final 5G system that will ultimately utilize a wide range of spectrum bands, address all envisioned 5G use cases, and meet or exceed the International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) requirements for the year 2020 and beyond (IMT-2020). 5G System Design: Architectural and Functional Considerations and Long Term Research is based on the knowledge and consensus from 158 leading researchers and standardization experts from 54 companies or institutes around the globe, representing key mobile network operators, network vendors, academic institutions and regional bodies for 5G. Different from earlier books on 5G, it does not focus on single 5G technology components, but describes the full 5G system design from E2E architecture to detailed functional design, including details on 5G performance, implementation and roll-out.

This Springerbrief presents a deep reinforcement learning approach to wireless systems to improve system performance. Particularly, deep reinforcement learning approach is used in cache-enabled opportunistic interference alignment wireless networks and mobile social networks. Simulation results with different network parameters are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. There is a phenomenal burst of research activities in artificial intelligence, deep reinforcement learning and wireless systems. Deep reinforcement learning has been successfully used to solve many practical problems. For example, Google DeepMind adopts this method on several artificial intelligent projects with big data (e.g., AlphaGo), and gets quite good results.. Graduate students in electrical and computer engineering, as well as computer science will find this brief useful as a study guide. Researchers, engineers, computer scientists, programmers, and policy makers will also find this brief to be a useful tool.
