The idea for this book was born during one of my project-related trips to the beautiful city
of Hangzhou in China, where in the role of Chief Architect I had to guide a team of very
young, very Smart and extremely dedicated software developers and verification engineers.
Soon it became clear that as eager as the team was to jump into the coding, it did not have
any experience in system architecture and design and if I did not want to spend all my time in
constant travel between San Francisco and Hangzhou, the only option was to groom a number
of local junior architects. Logically, one of the first questions being asked by these carefully
selected future architects was whether I could recommend a book or other learning material
that could speed up the learning cycle. I could not. Of course, there were many books on
various related topics, but many of them were too old and most of the updated information
was either somewhere on the Internet dispersed between many sites and online magazines, or
buried in my brain along with many years of experience of system architecture.

The information age is exploding around us,
giving us access to dizzying amounts of data the instant it becomes available.
Smart phones and tablets provide an untethered experience that offers stream-
ing video, audio, and other media formats to just about any place on the planet.
Even people who are not “computer literate” use Facebook to catch up with
friends and family, use Google to research a new restaurant choice and print
directions to get there, or Tweet their reactions once they have sampled the
fare. The budding Internet-of-things will only catalyze this data eruption.
The infrastructure supporting these services is also growing exponentially,
and the technology that facilitates this rapid growth is virtualization.

The advent of modern wireless devices, such as Smart phones and MID 1 terminals,
has revolutionized the way people think of personal connectivity. Such devices
encompass multiple applications ranging from voice and video to high-speed data
transfer via wireless networks. The voracious appetite of twenty-first century users
for supporting more wireless applications on a single device is ever increasing.
These devices employ multiple radios and modems that cover multiple frequency
bands and multiple standards with a manifold of wireless applications often running
simultaneously.

This chapter provides extensive coverage of existing mobile wireless technologies. Much of the
emphasis is on the highly anticipated 3G cellular networks and widely deployed wireless local
area networks (LANs), as the next-generation Smart phones are likely to offer at least these two
types of connectivity. Other wireless technologies that either have already been commercialized or
are undergoing active research and standardization are introduced as well. Because standardization
plays a crucial role in developing a new technology and a market, throughout the discussion
standards organizations and industry forums or consortiums of some technologies are introduced.
In addition, the last section of this chapter presents a list of standards in the wireless arena.

Thanks to the advances in micromachining fabrication technologies and significant
cost reduction due to mass production, miniature sensors of angular rate, or
gyroscopes, found their way into the everyday life of every user of modern gadgets,
such as Smart phones, tablets or even wristwatches. Often without realising, many
of us are carrying in our pockets fully equipped with all necessary sensors complete
inertial navigation systems that not so long ago were available only for advanced
vehicles in sea, land, air or space. Accelerometers and gyroscopes are found in
specifications of any gadget supposed to react to user movements. And one of the
most commonly used type of gyroscopes used to developed these systems is
Coriolis vibratory gyroscope (CVG).

Since the 1990s the EU has been pursuing climate change mitigation targets. Following the
international commitment to the legally binding greenhouse gas reduction under the Kyoto
Protocol, the 2020 policy package consists of a set of binding legislation to ensure that the EU
meets its climate and energy targets for the year 2020. The package sets three key targets: 20%
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (from 1990 levels), 20% of EU energy from renewables (as
well as a 10% target for renewable fuels) and 20% improvement in energy efficiency. The targets
were set by EU leaders in 2007 and enacted in legislation in 2009 3 . They are also headline targets of
the Europe 2020 strategy for Smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.

In this age of science and technology, the global economy has developed so much that our
lifestyles are now extremely modernized and developed. In some ways, modern society
seems to have reached the utmost state of advancement in various areas, including eco-
nomic development, science and technology pursuit, and the utilization of the given nat-
ural environment. However, it is important to consider approaches that may allow human
beings to stay longer on the Earth while enjoying fulfilling and peaceful daily lives.

Broadband powerline communication systems are continuing to gain significant
market adoption worldwide for applications ranging from IPTV delivery to the
Smart Grid. The suite of standards developed by the HomePlug Powerline
Alliance plays an important role in the widespread deployment of broadband
PLC. To date, more than 100 million HomePlug modems are deployed and these
numbers continue to rise.

Over the past few decades there has been an exponential growth in service robots
and Smart home technologies, which has led to the development of exciting new
products in our daily lives. Service robots can be used to provide domestic aid for
the elderly and disabled, serving various functions ranging from cleaning to enter-
tainment. Service robots are divided by functions, such as personal robots, field
robots, security robots, healthcare robots, medical robots, rehabilitation robots and
entertainment robots. A Smart home appears “intelligent” because its embedded
computers can monitor so many aspects of the daily lives of householders. For
example, the refrigerator may be able to monitor its contents, suggest healthy alter-
natives and order groceries. Also, the Smart home system may be able to clean the
house and water the plants.
