In recent years, cellular voice networks have transformed into powerful packet-switched access networks for both voice communication and Internet access. Evolving Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) networks and first Long Term Evolution (LTE) installations now deliver bandwidths of several megabits per second to individual users, and mobile access to the Internet from handheld devices and notebooks is no longer perceived as slower than a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) or cable connection. Bandwidth and capacity demands, however, keep rising because of the increasing number of people using the networks and because of bandwidth-intensive applications such as video streaming. Thus, network manufacturers and network operators need to find ways to continuously increase the capacity and performance of their cellular networks while reducing the cost.

Relaying techniques, in which a source node communicates to a destination node with the help of a relay, have been proposed as a cost-effective solution to address the increasing demand for high data rates and reliable services over the air. As such, it is crucial to design relay systems that are able to not only provide high spectral efficiency, but also fully exploit the diversity of the relay channel.

Mobile communication devices like smart phones or tablet PCs enable us to consume information at every location and at every time. The rapid development of new applications and new services and the demand to access data in real time create an increasing throughput demand. The data have to be transmitted reliably to ensure the desired quality of service. Furthermore, an improved utilization of the bandwidth is desired to reduce the cost of transmission.

The telecommunications industry has seen a rapid boost within the last decade. New realities and visions of functionalities in various telecommunications networks have brought forward the concept of next-generation networks (NGNs). The competitions among operators for support- ing various services, lowering of the cost of having mobile and cellular phones and smartphones, increasing demand for general mobility, explosion of digital traffic, and advent of convergence network technologies added more dynamism in the idea of NGNs. In fact, facilitating con- vergence of networks and convergence of various types of services is a significant objective of NGN

It is commonly accepted today that optical fiber communications have revolutionized telecommunications. Indeed, dramatic changes have been induced in the way we interact with our relatives, friends, and colleagues: we retrieve information, we entertain and educate ourselves, we buy and sell, we organize our activities, and so on, in a long list of activities. Optical fiber systems initially allowed for a significant curb in the cost of transmission and later on they sparked the process of a major rethinking regarding some, generation-old, telecommunication concepts like the (OSI)-layer definition, the lack of cross-layer dependency, the oversegmentation and overfragmentation of telecommunica- tions networks, and so on.

In cellular networks, it is estimated that 2 3 of calls and over 90% of data services occur indoors. However, some surveys show that many households and businesses experience a poor indoor coverage problem. It has been identified that poor coverage is the main reason for churn, which is very costly for operators in saturated markets. How to provide good indoor coverage cost effectively is thus a demanding challenge for operators.

Providing QoS while optimizing the LTE network in a cost efficient manner is very challenging. Thus, radio scheduling is one of the most important functions in mobile broadband networks. The design of a mobile network radio scheduler holds several objectives that need to be satisfied, for example: the scheduler needs to maximize the radio performance by efficiently distributing the limited radio re- sources, since the operator’s revenue depends on it.

Thisbookfocusesontheemergingresearchtopic‘green(energy-efficient)wirelessnetworks’ that has drawn huge attention recently from both academia and industry. This topic is highly motivated due to important environmental, financial and quality-of-experience (QoE) consid- erations.Duetosuchconcerns,varioussolutionshavebeenproposedtoenableefficientenergy usage in wireless networks, and these approaches are referred to as green wireless communi- cations and networking. The term ‘green’ emphasizes the environmental dimension of the proposed solutions. Hence, it is not sufficient to present a cost-effective solution unless it is eco-friendly.
