Wireless multi-hop networks have become an important part of many modern communication systems. Some of the earliest examples were military communication networks utilizing wireless relays in remote areas. More recently, many industries have used wireless multi-hop networks to create a multitude of fascinating tools and systems. Motivated by classical routing solutions in the Internet, conventional routing attempts to find a fixed path along which the packets are forwarded. Such fixed path schemes fail to take advantage of the broadcast nature and opportunities provided by the wireless medium, and result in unnecessary packet retransmissions. In opportunistic routing, decisions are made in an online manner by choosing the next relay based on the actual transmission outcomes as well as a rank ordering of neighboring nodes. Opportunistic Routing in Wireless Networks provides the motivation for opportunistic routing, and presents several different algorithms which achieve better performance, in most scenarios, than conventional shortest path routing. This comprehensive survey provides a starting point for all researchers and students wishing to learn the background and technical details of opportunistic routing.

A basic question in wireless networking is how to optimize the wireless network resource allocation for utility maximization and interference management. How can we overcome interference to efficiently optimize fair wireless resource allocation, under various stochastic constraints on quality of service demands? Network designs are traditionally divided into layers. How does fairness permeate through layers? Can physical layer innovation be jointly optimized with network layer routing control? How should large complex wireless networks be analyzed and designed with clearly-defined fairness using beamforming? Wireless Network Optimization by Perron-Frobenius Theory provides a comprehensive survey of the models, algorithms, analysis, and methodologies using a Perron-Frobenius theoretic framework to solve wireless utility maximization problems. This approach overcomes the notorious non-convexity barriers in these problems, and the optimal value and solution of the optimization problems can be analytically characterized by the spectral property of matrices induced by nonlinear positive mappings. It can even solve several previously open problems in the wireless networking literature. This survey will be of interest to all researchers, students and engineers working on wireless networking.

Multi-way communication is a means to significantly improve the spectral efficiency of wireless networks. This monograph provides an overview of the developments in this research area since it was initiated by Claude Shannon.

This basic setup is then extended to multi-user systems. For all these setups, fundamental limits on the achievable rates are reviewed, making use of a linear high-SNR deterministic channel model to provide valuable insights that are helpful when discussing of the coding schemes for Gaussian channel models in detail. Several tools and communication strategies are used in the process, including computation, signal-space alignment, and nested lattice codes. Finally, extensions of multi-way communication channels to multiple antenna settings are discussed.
