It's an unremarkable life, I guess, nothing special. I'm in my
thirties, I work part-time in a video store in Stockholm, most of
my friends are busy with their families, I live alone. I suppose
you'd say I have an ordinary life... But I love this city, and even
though my flat is small it suits me, I'm comfortable here. In the
summer, the sun shines in through my windows at just the right
angle and I can hear all the sounds of summer life down in the
street. And there's a really good ice-cream stall just near my
building, which sells my favourite flavours. So, ordinary maybe,
but happy. Yes, I think it's fair to say I'm a happy man. And isn't
that enough? A love story and a charming, surreal and funny tale
about happiness, The Invoice will change the way you see your life.
Nowadays a lot of research efforts focus on Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks
(MANETs). A MANET is a collection of mobile autonomous nodes, which
can move arbitrary, leading to a constantly changing network
topology. However, today most of the information is still stored on
wired servers. Due to the different topological natures of wired
and MANET networks, interconnectivity is not trivial. To further
complicate the situation the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is
designed for wired networks, in a MANET with different link and
route characteristics, as multihop and frequent packet losses, the
performance of current TCP proposals drop considerably. The purpose
of this book is to give an overview of the current MANET Internet
connectivity situation and to evaluate TCP performance in a hybrid
MANET where mobile nodes connect to a wired network through a
gateway.
In this trilogy of novellas, Jonas Karlsson explores the quirkier side
of human nature, helping us to see the world anew via three eccentric
narrators.
Firstly, jobsworth Bjorn starts a new career and expects to progress
quickly with his meticulousness and efficiency. But he only gets the
recognition he deserves in the Room which, it transpires, only he can
visit.
Next, a man with a seemingly unremarkable life -- a job in a video
store, a small flat, no partner, one good friend and a nice ice cream
shop nearby -- receives an enormous invoice for his ‘experienced
happiness’. Unable to pay, he sets out to discover how, exactly, his
happiness bill was calculated.
Finally, in The Circus, published in the UK for the first time, two old
friends decide to visit a circus together. When Magnus disappears
during a magic trick, our protagonist is consumed by the need to find
him. And yet, as with any Karlsson story, things aren’t quite what they
seem…
Advanced Antenna Systems for 5G Network Deployments: Bridging the
Gap between Theory and Practice provides a comprehensive
understanding of the field of advanced antenna systems (AAS) and
how they can be deployed in 5G networks. The book gives a thorough
understanding of the basic technology components, the
state-of-the-art multi-antenna solutions, what support 3GPP has
standardized together with the reasoning, AAS performance in real
networks, and how AAS can be used to enhance network deployments.
