The idea of writing this book entitled “Cognitive Networked Sensing and Big Data”
started with the plan to write a briefing book on wireless distributed computing
and cognitive sensing. During our research on large-scale cognitive radio network
(and its experimental testbed), we realized that big data played a central role. As a
result, the book project reflects this paradigm shift. In the context, sensing roughly
is equivalent to “measurement.”
Multi-carrier modulation? Orthogonal Frequency Division Multi-
plexing (OFDM) particularly? has been successfully applied to
a wide variety of digital communications applications over the past
several years. Although OFDM has been chosen as the physical layer
standard for a diversity of important systems? the theory? algorithms?
and implementation techniques remain subjects of current interest.
This is clear from the high volume of papers appearing in technical
journals and conferences.
Since the principle of multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) was
simultaneously proposed by Khaled Fazel et al. and Nathan Yee et al. at the IEEE
International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications
(PIMRC) in the year 1993, multi-carrier spread spectrum (MC-SS) has rapidly become
one of the most wide spread independent research topics on the field of mobile radio
communications. Therefore, the International Workshop on Multi-Carrier Spread
Spectrum (MC-SS) was initiated in the year 1997. Multi-carrier and spread spectrum
systems with their generic air interface and adaptive technologies are considered as
potential candidates to fulfill the requirements of next generation mobile communications
systems.
