Optical Code Communication in Local Networks: System Design and Wireless Convergence Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"Optical Code Communication in Local Networks: System Design and Wireless Convergence" by dr Bas Huiszoon represents a great contribution to the field of next-generation access networks. It addresses an extremely important current issue, meaning, the never-ending hunger for bandwidth from the end-users side caused by emerging new services. As clarified by the author, by applying OCDMA one releases bottleneck-like performance of the last-mile networks and improves the users' experience.
The principles of OCDMA as well as related advanced ideas are discussed in a well-scheduled and understandable manner making it an attractive position to all those who are interested in novel technologies as well as those who look for an inspiration for further development. Besides the content itself, the scientific value of this book is confirmed by an exhaustive literature basis which also includes several top-level publications of the author.
The author, dr Bas Huiszoon, is a well-experienced and thriving researcher with application-oriented attitude. Therefore, the book is a result of an extensive work and it covers subjects from photonic integration, architecture of components and systems, up to transmission performance, revealing a complete picture from idea down to design, implementation and testing.
It is a very comprehensive and reader-friendly book from which students, researchers as well as system designers may benefit a lot in their educational and professional lives.

The continuing growth in Internet services and theassociated bandwidth consumption presents manychallenges to be met at the network tiers. Thedeployment of a fiber-optic local network isimportant because as soon as it is in place, itprovides broadband access to the Internet cloud. Inthis book, such architecture is envisioned to bemoderate in costs and complexity through sharing ofresources, simplified nodes at the user-side, andcentralized network management. The provisioning ofwireless networks and, consequently, the handling ofmobile networking dynamics is considered to beessential to enable truly ubiquitous networkingpossibilities so the convergence of the optical andthe radio domains has a central position in thebook. The optical code division multiple access(OCDMA) technology serves as basis on top of whichmany networking concepts are evaluated. A uniqueinsight is given in the complete trajectory of OCDMAsystem design from modeling, to photonicintegration, until full-scale transmissionexperiments. This book is intended for (under-) graduate students and system designers in the areaof fiber-optic local networks.

Convergence Design: Creating the User Experience for Interactive Television, Wireless, and Broadband Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The book has excellent examples of concepts for interactive television- and some pretty cool work from broadband design companies like Heavy and Artifact. I wish there were more example of wireless projects. Overall- a good balance of visual examples and project details for inspiration.

Broadband and wireless communications are here to stay and innovations in digital bandwidth and hardware have created a convergence of mediums that is changing the way we watch television, use the telephone and drive our cars. As these new mediums grow, so will the need for designers and design firms skilled in creating user experiences as big as a home theatre screen or as small as the face of a watch. This book focuses on graphic design for the full range of new media platforms, and showcases groundbreaking work from international designers in these arenas. Categories covered include interactive television, broadband computing and wireless devices and the text addresses the specific challenges of, and ideas for, designing each platform. It includes navigation schemes, icon systems, wireless games and interactive television menus.
