Information flow in a telecommunication network is accomplished through the interaction of mechanisms at various design layers with the end goal of supporting t

Cross-layer design seeks to enhance the capacity of wireless networks significantly through the joint optimization of multiple layers in the network, primarily

"Short-range wireless networks, such as wireless sensor networks, have become an integral part of our modern lives and have been broadly applied in many fields

This book explores the optimization potential of cross-layer design approaches for wireless ad hoc and sensor network performance, covering both theory and prac
