The cheap mobile phone is arguably the most significant personal communications device in history. In India, where caste hierarchy has reinforced power for generations, the disruptive potential of the mobile phone is even more striking than elsewhere. In 2001, India had 35 million telephones, only four million of them mobiles. Ten years later, it had more than 800 million phone subscribers; more than 95 per cent were mobile phones. In a decade, communications in India have been transformed by a device that can be shared by fisherfolk in Kerala, boatmen in Banaras, great capitalists in Mumbai and power-wielding politicians and bureaucrats in New Delhi. Village councils banned unmarried girls from having mobile phones. Families debated whether new brides should surrender them. Cheap mobile phones became photo albums, music machines and radios. Religious images and uplifting messages flooded tens of millions of phones each day. Pornographers and criminals found a tantalising new tool. In politics, organisations with cadres of true believers exploited a resource infinitely more effective than telegrams, postcards and the printing press for carrying messages to workers, followers and voters. Jeffrey and Doron focus on three groups - controllers: the bureaucrats, politicians and capitalists who wrestle over control of radio frequency spectrum; servants: the marketers, agents, technicians, tower-builders, repairers and second-hand dealers who carry mobile phones to the masses; and users: the politicians, activists, businesses and households that adapt the mobile phone to their needs. The book probes the whole universe of the mobile phone - from the contests of great capitalists and governments to control radio frequency spectrum, to the ways ordinary people build the troublesome and addictive device into their daily lives.

As the internet of things market is booming, several issues are delaying the full realization of the technology. Currently, business competitors are jockeying for a piece of the market, meaning solutions from researchers that address these issues is crucial for internet of things technology developers. Overpromising followed by underdelivering has been the current approach by many innovators, and the mismatch results in losses in production, orphaned technologies, and frequent system failures. Solutions that address internet of things performance issues must be studied in order to take full advantage of this emerging market. Achieving Full Realization and Mitigating the Challenges of the Internet of Things addresses the challenges faced in rolling out internet of things technologies as well as the various performance issues. Covering a range of topics such as cybersecurity and connectivity issues, this reference work is ideal for industry professionals, academicians, researchers, practitioners, technology developers, instructors, and students.

Ais ich dieses Buch im Jahre 1920 zum ersten lYIale herausgab, folgte ich vielfach geapBerten Wiinschen, die von mir fiir die Firma Siemens & Halske geschriebenen Technischen Anweisungen iiber Wechselstrom-Leistungsmessungen weitesten Kreisen in geschlossener Form zuganglich zu machen. Bei dieser Entwicklung konnten naturgemaB nur Siemens-Apparate in dem Buch be schrieben werden. Da diese jedoch nur als Ausfiihrungsbeispiele fiir den im iibrigen allgemein behandelten Stoff dienen und sich die Fabrikate anderer Firmen von den beschriebenen nicht prin zipiell, sondern nur in konstruktiven Einzelheiten unterscheiden, ist die Beschrankung auf ein Fabrikat belanglos. Diese Behand lungsweise bietet vielmehr den Vorteil, daB das ganze Gebiet an einer einheitlich durchgebildeten Reihe von MeBgeraten be sprochen werden kann und daB statt allgemeiner Angaben iiberall festliegende Zahlen gebracht werden konnen. Um den hierdurch gegebenen Gebrauchswert des Buches zu erhalten, sind auch in der zweiten und in der vorliegenden dritten Auflage als Aus fiihrungsbeispiele im allgemeinen nur Siemens-MeBgerate gebracht. Im iibrigen ist jedoch das Buch seit dem ersten Erscheinen voll standig umgearbeitet worden. In der vorliegenden drittw Auflage ist der Stoff nach allgemein giiltigen Gesichtspunkten neu aufgebaut und gegliedert worden. Hierdurch ergab sich die Moglichkeit, das Gemeinsame der ver schiedenen MeBgerate zusammenzufassen und einheitlich zu be handeIn. So wird beispielsweise erst die Bauart der verschiedenen MeBwerke der Leistungsmesser geschlossen behandelt, dann werden die Ausfiihrungsmoglichkeiten der Innenschaltung und endlich die fiir die Messungen erforderliche Berechnung der Kon stanten in allgemein geltender Form gebracht."

The wireless medium is a shared resource. If nearby devices transmit at the same time, their signals interfere, resulting in a collision. In traditional networks, collisions cause the loss of the transmitted information. For this reason, wireless networks have been designed with the assumption that interference is intrinsically harmful and must be avoided. This book, a revised version of the author's award-winning Ph.D. dissertation, takes an alternate approach: Instead of viewing interference as an inherently counterproductive phenomenon that should to be avoided, we design practical systems that transform interference into a harmless, and even a beneficial phenomenon. To achieve this goal, we consider how wireless signals interact when they interfere, and use this understanding in our system designs. Specifically, when interference occurs, the signals get mixed on the wireless medium. By understanding the parameters of this mixing, we can invert the mixing and decode the interfered packets; thus, making interference harmless. Furthermore, we can control this mixing process to create strategic interference that allow decodability at a particular receiver of interest, but prevent decodability at unintended receivers and adversaries. Hence, we can transform interference into a beneficial phenomenon that provides security. Building on this approach, we make four main contributions: We present the first WiFi receiver that can successfully reconstruct the transmitted information in the presence of packet collisions. Next, we introduce a WiFi receiver design that can decode in the presence of high-power cross-technology interference from devices like baby monitors, cordless phones, microwave ovens, or even unknown technologies. We then show how we can harness interference to improve security. In particular, we develop the first system that secures an insecure medical implant without any modification to the implant itself. Finally, we present a solution that establishes secure connections between any two WiFi devices, without having users enter passwords or use pre-shared secret keys.
