Introduction

Chapters

Chapter 1

Buffer Managed Multiple Replication Strategy Using Knapsack Policy for Intermittently Connected Mobile Networks (pages 1-22)

C. Poongodi, A. M. Natarajan

Intermittently Connected Mobile Networks (ICMNs) are a kind of wireless network where, due to mobility of nodes and lack of connectivity, there may be disconnections among the nodes for a long time. To deal with such networks...

Chapter 2

The Role of Business Model Innovation on the Disruptive Potential of PWLAN in the Western European Hotspot Markets (pages 23-42)

Stefan Hüsig

In this chapter, the authors describe and analyze the impact of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) technologies on mobile data communications in the Western European hotspot markets. To do this, they use the disruptive innovation...

Chapter 3

A Novel Approach for Supplying Wireless Energy to Multiple Devices Simultaneously Using Sweeping Effect (pages 43-58)

Askin Erdem Gundogdu, Erkan Afacan

There has been great interest in wireless power transmission since 2007 when a novel approach was presented by a group of scientists at MIT. With this new technique, power transmission range is possible for a couple of meters with...

Chapter 4

A Causal Model Analysis of Spectrum Management Policies (pages 59-80)

Varadharajan Sridhar, Thomas Casey, Heikki Hämmäinen

Demand for wireless data and Internet services are expected to grow exponentially, worldwide, in the near future. While regulators of advanced countries have often used centralized planning and coordination approach to forecast and...

Chapter 5

The Ubiquitous Internet: Into Eternity? (pages 81-85)

Robert van Wessel, Henk J. de Vries

We all take the ubiquity of the Internet for granted: anyone, anywhere, anytime, any device, any connection, any app…but for how long? Is the future of the Internet really at stake? Discussions about control of the Internet, its...

Chapter 6

Multicriteria Queuing Model to Improve Intra-User Multi-Flow QoS in Wireless Cellular Networks (pages 86-106)

Mohamed Hanini, Abdelkrim Haqiq, Amine Berqia

This chapter tackles the challenging task of QoS evaluation and improvement in cellular networks. Initially, the authors provide a classification based on four criteria of the queuing models used in the literature. In a second step...
