The very title of this book is borrowed from the information theory vocabulary,
and, quite naturally, it is an outline of this theory that will serve as an introduction.
The subject of information theory is the scientific study of communications. To this
end it defines a quantitative measurement of the communicated content, i.e. informa-
tion, and deals with two operations essential for communication techniques: source
coding and channel encoding.
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.”
Radio propagation measurements and channel modelling continue to be of fundamental importance
to radio system design. As new technology enables dynamic spectrum access and higher data rates,
radio propagation effects such as shadowing, the presence of multipath and frequency dispersion
are the limiting factors in the design of wireless communication systems. While there are several
books covering the topic of radio propagation in various frequency bands, there appears to be no
books on radio propagation measurements, which this book addresses at length.
Thanks for purchasing the RFI Pocket Guide. The
purpose of this guide to help you identify, locate
and resolve radio frequency interference (RFI). It
includes some basic theory and measurement
techniques and there are a number of handy
references, tables, and equations that you may
find useful. The focus is to assist both amateur
radio operators, as well as commercial broadcast
and communications engineers, in resolving a
variety of common interference issues.
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.
A revolution in power industries, including generation, transmission and distribution, driven by
environmental and economic considerations, is taking place all over the world. The smart grid allows for
integration of diverse generation and storage options, reduced losses, improved efficiencies, increased
grid flexibility, reduced power outages, allowing for competitive electricity pricing and integration of
electric vehicles and overall becoming more responsive to market, consumer and societal needs. It is
bringing profound changes to both power systems and many related industries.
