Machine Learning for Future Fiber-Optic Communication Systems
provides a comprehensive and in-depth treatment of machine learning
concepts and techniques applied to key areas within optical
communications and networking, reflecting the state-of-the-art
research and industrial practices. The book gives knowledge and
insights into the role machine learning-based mechanisms will soon
play in the future realization of intelligent optical network
infrastructures that can manage and monitor themselves, diagnose
and resolve problems, and provide intelligent and efficient
services to the end users. With up-to-date coverage and extensive
treatment of various important topics related to machine learning
for fiber-optic communication systems, this book is an invaluable
reference for photonics researchers and engineers. It is also a
very suitable text for graduate students interested in ML-based
signal processing and networking.
While digital transformations are happening in all walks of society
and business, there is real potential for improving the quality of
life of the elderly using digital methods and tools. Digital health
promises to deliver better healthcare quality cost-efficiently to
more people, especially in the case of lifestyle diseases such as
diabetes. It will achieve this by combining the benefits of
telehealth, eHealth, data-driven personalised healthcare, and
evidence-based care. This book presents a discussion of evolving
digital technologies, such as smart phones and assisted living, and
innovative digitally based services that are helping improve the
quality and cost of healthcare for the elderly. This book evolved
from a recent multi-country and multi-disciplinary initiative
called Digital Health for the Ageing Population. This project
(2019-2021) aimed at promoting general awareness of digital health
for ageing populations with collaborative research across several
countries including Australia, Bangladesh, China, India, Japan,
Norway, The Netherlands, and USA. With its international scope and
detailed coverage of relevant digital methods and tools, this book
will benefit healthcare technologists, ICT developers, managers of
healthcare and mobile healthcare projects, and academic researchers
working in related fields.
Now in its Third Edition, Fundamentals of Optical Waveguides
continues to be an essential resource for any researcher,
professional or student involved in optics and communications
engineering. Any reader interested in designing or actively working
with optical devices must have a firm grasp of the principles of
lightwave propagation. Katsunari Okamoto continues to present this
difficult technology clearly and concisely with several
illustrations and equations. Optical theory encompassed in this
reference includes coupled mode theory, nonlinear optical effects,
finite element method, beam propagation method, staircase
concatenation method, along with several central theorems and
formulas. Silicon photonics devices such as coupled resonator
optical waveguides (CROW), lattice-form filters, and AWGs are also
fully described. This new edition gives readers not only a thorough
understanding the silicon photonics devices for on-chip photonic
network, but also the capability to design various kinds of
devices.
EU Telecommunications Law provides a comprehensive overview of the
current European regulatory framework as it applies to
telecommunications and examines the challenges facing regulators in
this sector. Key chapters focus on the selection of appropriate
regulatory models that serve to encourage effective investment in
next-generation networks and ensure their successful deployment.
Andrej Savin provides an up to date overview of all the relevant
sources, guiding the reader through these disparate materials in a
simple and systematized way. In particular, the book provides
analysis of the 2016 proposal for a European Electronic
Communications Code (EECC). Using the 2009 Regulatory Framework on
electronic communications as a basis the author analyses each of
the 2009 framework?s five main directives, comparing them with the
changes proposed in the EECC. Providing a comprehensive
introduction to the main areas of EU telecoms regulation, this book
will be of great value to telecoms and IT lawyers. It will also
appeal to academics carrying out research in IT law or competition
law as it relates to IT and telecoms.
The role of data fusion has been expanding in recent years through
the incorporation of pervasive applications, where the physical
infrastructure is coupled with information and communication
technologies, such as wireless sensor networks for the internet of
things (IoT), e-health and Industry 4.0. In this edited reference,
the authors provide advanced tools for the design, analysis and
implementation of inference algorithms in wireless sensor networks.
The book is directed at the sensing, signal processing, and ICTs
research communities. The contents will be of particular use to
researchers (from academia and industry) and practitioners working
in wireless sensor networks, IoT, E-health and Industry 4.0
applications who wish to understand the basics of inference
problems. It will also be of interest to professionals, and
graduate and PhD students who wish to understand the fundamental
concepts of inference algorithms based on intelligent and
energy-efficient protocols.
Smart City and sensing platforms are considered some of the most
significant topics in the Internet of Things (IoT). Sensors are at
the heart of the IoT, and their development is a key issue if such
concepts are to achieve their full potential. This book addresses
the major challenges in realizing smart city and sensing platforms
in the era of the IoT and the Cloud. Challenges vary from cost and
energy efficiency to availability and service quality. To tackle
these challenges, sensors must meet certain expectations and
requirements such as size constraints, manufacturing costs and
resistance to environmental factors. This book focuses on both the
design and implementation aspects for smart city and sensing
applications that are enabled and supported by IoT paradigms.
Attention is also given to data delivery approaches and performance
aspects.
Many wireless systems could benefit from the ability to transmit
and receive on the same frequency at the same time, which is known
as In-Band Full-Duplex (IBFD). This technology could lead to
enhanced spectral efficiency for future wireless networks, such as
fifth-generation New Radio (5G NR) and beyond, and could enable
capabilities and applications that were previously considered
impossible, such as IBFD with phased array systems. In this
exciting new book, experts from industry, academic, and federal
research institutions discuss the various approaches that can be
taken to suppress the inherent self-interference that is generated
in IBFD systems. Both static and adaptive techniques that span
across the propagation, analog and digital domains are presented.
Details and measured results that encompass high-isolation antenna
designs, RF, and photonic cancellation as well as signal processing
approaches, which include beamforming and linear/non-linear
equalization are detailed. Throughout this book, state-of-the-art
IBFD systems that utilize these technologies will be provided as
practical examples for various applications. Expert IBFD
perspectives from multiple research organizations and companies,
which would provide readers with the most accurate state-of-the-art
approaches. This is the first book that dives into both the
techniques that make IBFD systems possible as well as several
different applications that use IBFD technology.
