On the Definition of the Fourth Generation Wireless Communications Networks : The Challenges Ahead
نویسنده
چکیده
—This paper explores the next generation of mobile communication system from different perspectives. A user-centric approach to 4G is considered. We envision 4G as a convergence platform where wide-area (cellular) technology, wireless metropolitan area network (WMAN) and wireless local area network (WLAN) will coexist and complete. Legacy systems, their evolution as well as newly developed access techniques are all embraced by the 4G network. We then discuss 4G enabling technologies as well as identify design challenges that research and development community is likely to encounter.

Multi-channel Medium Access Control Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks: A Survey
Extensive researches on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been performed and many techniques have been developed for the data link (MAC) layer. Most of them assume single-channel MAC protocols. In the usual dense deployment of the sensor networks, single-channel MAC protocols may be deficient because of radio collisions and limited bandwidth. Hence, using multiple channels can significantly ...

متن کاملTwo-Stage Stochastic Day-Ahead Market Clearing in Gas and Power Networks Integrated with Wind Energy
The significant penetration rate of wind turbines in power systems made some challenges in the operation of the systems such as large-scale power fluctuations induced by wind farms. Gas-fired plants with fast starting ability and high ramping can better handle natural uncertainties of wind power compared to other traditional plants. Therefore, the integration of electrical and natural gas syste...
