Location-aware computing is a technology that uses the location
(provides granular geographical information) of people and objects
to derive contextual information. Today, one can obtain this
location information free of cost through smartphones. Smartphones
with location enabled applications have revolutionized the ways in
which people perform their activities and get benefits from the
automated services. It especially helps to get details of services
in less time; wherever the user may be and whenever they want. The
need for smartphones and location enabled applications has been
growing year after year. Nowadays no one can leave without their
phone; the phone seemingly becomes one of the parts of the human
body. The individual can now be predicted by their phone and the
identity of the phone becomes the person's identity. Though there
is a tremendous need for location-enabled applications with
smartphones, the debate on privacy and security related to location
data has also been growing. Privacy and Security Challenges in
Location Aware Computing provides the latest research on privacy
enhanced location-based applications development and exposes the
necessity of location privacy preservation, as well as issues and
challenges related to protecting the location data. It also
suggests solutions for enhancing the protection of location privacy
and therefore users' privacy as well. The chapters highlight
important topic areas such as video surveillance in human
tracking/detection, geographical information system design,
cyberspace attacks and warfare, and location aware security
systems. The culmination of these topics creates a book that is
ideal for security analysts, mobile application developers,
practitioners, academicians, students, and researchers.
The aim of this book is to present the modern design and analysis
principles of millimeter-wave communication system for wireless
devices and to give postgraduates and system professionals the
design insights and challenges when integrating millimeter wave
personal communication system. Millimeter wave communication system
are going to play key roles in modern gigabit wireless
communication area as millimeter-wave industrial standards from
IEEE, European Computer Manufacturing Association (ECMA) and
Wireless High Definition (Wireless HD) Group, are on their way to
the market. The book will review up-to-date research results and
utilize numerous design and analysis for the whole system covering
from Millimeter wave frontend to digital signal processing in order
to address major topics in a high speed wireless system.
This book emphasizes the importance and the requirements of
high-gain antennas, low power transceiver, adaptive
equalizer/modulation, channeling coding and adaptive multi-user
detection for gigabit wireless communications. In addition, the
book will include the updated research literature and patents in
the topics of transceivers, antennas, MIMO, channel capacity,
coding, equalizer, Modem and multi-user detection. Finally the
application of these antennas will be discussed in light of
different forthcoming wireless standards at V-band and E-band.
Modern systems and means of aeronautical radio communication are
continuously being improved, but without the development of new
technical means, the aviation industry suffers. The development of
more innovative plans of aviation technology are needed in order to
respond to the ever-increasing standard of aviation technology.
Recent Advances in Satellite Aeronautical Communications Modeling
is devoted to the modeling of satellite communication channels for
aircraft and RPAS/UAV using the Matlab Simulink and NetCracker
software. Featuring research on topics such as channel coding,
microwave emitters, and array modeling, this book is ideally
designed for scientists, engineers, air traffic controllers,
managers, researchers, and academicians.
