Mobile multimedia communication is increasingly in demand because of the basic need to communi-
cate at any time, anywhere, using any technology. In addition, to voice communication, people have a
desire to access a range of other services that comprise multimedia elements—text, image, animation,
high fidelity audio and video using mobile communication networks. To meet these demands, mobile
communication technologies has evolved from analog to digital, and the networks have passed through
a number of generations from first generation (1G) to fourth generation (4G).
Intensive development of digital technologies coincided in time with the beginning
of the new era in telecommunications. It made possible to formalize many proce-
dures of data exchange and to atomize some operations which made providing of
serviceandmakeworkofmanytelecommunicationworkersmucheasier. Somenew
telecommunication technologies were born out of the necessity for use of specific
configurations of network elements and networks, as well as for a possibility of
providing maximum characteristics of efficiency combined with high requirements
to the stability of operation, the overcoming of different catastrophic situations and
deadlockconditions,such as failuresand ”pending”of the networkandthe like. The
thresholdbetweeninformationsystems andtelecommunicationsystems has become
practically invisible. It resulted in such a new term as ”infocommunication”
Having dealt with in-depth analysis of SS#7, GSM and GPRS networks I started to monitor
UTRAN interfaces approximately four years ago. Monitoring interfaces means decoding
the data captured on the links and analysing how the different data segments and messages
are related to each other. In general I wanted to trace all messages belonging to a single
call to prove if the network elements and protocol entities involved worked fine or if there
had been failures or if any kind of suspicious events had influenced the normal call
proceeding or the call’s quality of service. Cases showing normal network behaviour have
been documented in Kreher and Ruedebusch (UMTS Signaling. John Wiley & Sons, Ltd,
2005), which provides examples for technical experts investigating call flows and network
procedures.
Welcome to the exciting, empowering world of home automation! If you have
ever wanted your home to do more than just protect you against the outside
elements and want to interface it to the digital domain, this book will show
you how. By demonstrating several easy-to-build projects, you will be able to
take the skills you learned from this book and expand upon and apply them
toward custom home automation projects of your own design.
This book is focused on designing and developing Representational State Transfer (REST)
platforms in Rails. REST is the architectural style of the Web, consisting of a set of
constraints that, applied to components, connectors, and data elements, constitute the
wider distributed hypermedia system that we know today: the World Wide Web.
There are a few good reasons why it makes more sense to build platforms instead of just
products or applications. Platforms are like ecosystems interconnecting different
applications, services, users, developers, and partners. Platforms foster innovation through
the inputs of their direct collaborators. By providing application programming interfaces
(APIs) and software development kits (SDKs), platforms are more customer driven.
The first edition of the book was one of the elements of my habilitation (a quali-
fication above a Ph.D., which is a necessary step for obtaining the title of a
professor in Poland and other European countries), and as a result it was subse-
quently very carefully reviewed by four reviewers. The habilitation was a success.
Using the insightful comments from my reviewers, I have improved the current
version and eliminated some typographic errors that were initially overlooked.
A modern power grid needs to become smarter in order to provide an affordable,
reliable, and sustainable supply of electricity. For these reasons, a smart grid is
necessary to manage and control the increasingly complex future grid. Certain
smart grid elements including renewable energy, storage, microgrid, consumer
choice, and smart appliances like electric vehicles increase uncertainty in both
supply and demand of electric power.
This book was written to help anyone want to get started with Arduino and Windows Remote Arduino. It describes
the basic elements of the integration of Arduino and Windows Remote Arduino.
SCB10H series pressure elements are high performance absolute pressure sensors. The sensors are based on Murata's proven capacitive 3D-MEMS technology. They enable exceptional possibility for OEM customers to integrate pressure measurement function in an optimal way into their products. SCB10H series elements can be designed to match the application specific pressure range. It is a bare capacitive sensor element that enables optimized application specific package and electronics design.
