LTE-A Cellular Networks
by Abid YahyaIn this book, three different methods are presented to enhance the capacity and coverage area in LTE-A cellular networks. The scope involves the evaluation of the effect of the RN location in terms of capacity and the determination of the optimum location of the relay that provides maximum achievable data rate for users with limited interference at the cell boundaries. This book presents a new model to enhance both capacity and coverage area in LTE-A cellular network by determining the optimum location for the RN with limited interference. A new model is designed to enhance the capacity of the relay link by employing two antennas in RN. This design enables the relay link to absorb more users at cell edge regions. An algorithm called the Balance Power Algorithm (BPA) is developed to reduce MR power consumption. The book pertains to postgraduate students and researchers in wireless & mobile communications.

LTE-Advanced and Next Generation Wireless Networks
by Guillaume De La Roche Andres Alayon-Glazunov Ben AllenLTE- A and Next Generation Wireless Networks: Channel Modeling and Performance describes recent advances in propagation and channel modeling necessary for simulating next generation wireless systems. Due to the radio spectrum scarcity, two fundamental changes are anticipated compared to the current status. Firstly, the strict reservation of a specific band for a unique standard could evolve toward a priority policy allowing the co-existence of secondary users in a band allocated to a primary system. Secondly, a huge increase of the number of cells is expected by combining outdoor base stations with smaller cells such as pico/femto cells and relays. This evolution is accompanied with the emergence of cognitive radio that becomes a reality in terminals together with the development of self-organization capabilities and distributed cooperative behaviors. The book is divided into three parts: Part I addresses the fundamentals (e. g. technologies, channel modeling principles etc. ) Part II addresses propagation and modeling discussing topics such as indoor propagation, outdoor propagation, etc. Part III explores system performance and applications (e. g. MIMO Over-the-air testing, electromagnetic safety, etc).

La Fisica del Suono e della Musica: Teoria ed esperimenti pratici
by Isidoro FerranteQuesto volume raccoglie e sviluppa i materiali elaborati negli anni per le lezioni dimostrative e divulgative tenute dall'autore presso i licei della Toscana e della Calabria, nonché nei corsi di aggiornamento per docenti organizzati dall'Università di Pisa, dall'INFN di Pisa e dal master IDIFO dell'Università di Udine. Il testo tratta di acustica, con particolare riferimento alla fisica della musica e al funzionamento degli strumenti musicali. L'approccio è di tipo "hands on": per ogni argomento vengono proposti esperimenti molto semplici da effettuare a casa, con poca o nessuna abilità manuale e attrezzatura economica o addirittura a costo zero. Viene anche proposta la costruzione "scientifica" di semplici strumenti musicali come il flauto di Pan, la glassarmonica e la kalimba. Il livello è concepito per essere più agile e divulgativo, rivolgendosi a un pubblico ampio con un minimo di background scientifico. Il libro può essere un valido complemento anche per gli insegnanti di fisica nei licei musicali e i loro studenti, che potrebbero trovare spunti utili per le attività di laboratorio. La maggior parte degli esperimenti descritti utilizza un computer dotato di scheda audio e del programma di registrazione ed editing sonoro Audacity. Audacity è stato scelto perché è un programma gratuito, open source, attivo da diversi anni e con la prospettiva di rimanere aggiornato ancora a lungo.
La catedral de Turing: Los orígenes del universo digital
by George Dyson«Es posible inventar una sola máquina que pueda utilizarse para computar cualquier secuencia computable», anunció en 1936 un joven Alan Turing de veinticuatro años. En los años 40 y 50 un reducido grupo de hombres y mujeres, liderado por John von Neumann, se reunió en Princeton, New Jersey, para comenzar la construcción de una de los primeros ordenadores que materializaría la visión de Alan Turing de una máquina universal. Los códigos generados en ese embrión de universo de 5 kilobytes (menos memoria de lo que requiere un solo icono en la pantalla de un ordenador actual) rompieron la distinción entre números que significan cosas y números que hacen cosas, y nuestro universo cambió para siempre. La catedral de Turing es la historia de la invención más constructiva del siglo XX, el ordenador digital, de quiénes y cómo la crearon. Un relato histórico y profético que nos cuenta cómo el código logró conquistar el mundo y se aventura a plantear el futurodel universo digital."No es solo un libro extraordinario sobre ciencia. Es un libro extraordinario, punto." #The Globe and Mail «Si quieres estar mentalmente preparado para la próxima revolución informática, el libro de Dyson es imprescindible. Pero también es imprescindible si solo quieres una historia apasionada de cómo los científicos de verdad (como mínimo algunos) piensan y trabajan.» Literary Review
La ciencia es cosa de mujeres
by Margarita MicheliniLas once científicas uruguayas retratadas en este libro cuentan sus sueños, su día a día, sus logros y sus peajes. No es casualidad que en el nivel más alto del Sistema Nacional de Investigadores haya una mujer por cada 3,4 varones. Tampoco que en los grados iniciales la participación femenina se equipare a la de ellos. Habla de una lógica de obstáculos y prejuicios, más o menos conscientes y vastamente estudiados, que lentamente va cambiando. Las once científicas uruguayas retratadas en este libro cuentan sus sueños, su día a día, sus logros y sus peajes. Estas páginas guardan la esperanza de contagiar a quienes se plantean seguir sus pasos y a los lectores todos, para que puedan darle a su labor el lugar que merece. Sin ellas, la ciencia tendría otro tinte. Trabajan con pasión, la mayoría en silencio, en temas que parecen lejanos y sin embargo repercuten en la vida de todos. Productos naturales que contrarres-ten el uso de plaguicidas, sistemas de información para cuidar el ambiente, el amor por partículas tan imperceptibles como poderosas, el tesón de una loca idea, la estadística aplicada para modelar el comportamiento del SARS-CoV-2 y la carrera para fabricar en Uruguay un kit para detectarlo se cruzan con una científica emprendedora, una doctora del clima especialista en enfrentar temporales, una experta en mecatrónica que hace hablar a las máquinas o una jugadora de elite en las matemáticas. Cuando la creatividad y las neuronas se conjugan con entrega, el resultado no tiene límites.
