Summary:

Mobile Broadband Multimedia Networks: Techniques, Models and Tools for 4th Generation Communication Networks provides the main results of the prestigious and well known European COST 273 research project on the development of next generation mobile and wireless communication systems. Based on the applied research of over 350 participants in academia and industry, this book focuses on the radio aspects of mobile and wireless broadband multimedia communications, by exploring and developing new methods, models, techniques, strategies and tools towards the implementation of 4th generation
