Cross-Technology Coexistence Design for Wireless Networks

This book introduces readers to the fundamentals of the cross-technology coexistence problem in heterogeneous wireless networks. It also highlights a range of mechanisms designed to combat this problem and improve network performance, including protocol design, theoretical analysis, and experimental evaluation.

In turn, the book proposes three mechanisms that can be combined to combat the cross-technology coexistence problem and improve network performance. First, the authors present a fast signal identification method. It provides the basis for the subsequent protocol design and allows heterogeneous devices to adopt proper transmission strategies. Second, the authors present two cross-technology interference management mechanisms in both the time domain and the frequency domain, which can mitigate interference and increase transmission opportunities for heterogeneous devices, thus improving network performance. Third, they present a cross-technology communication mechanism based on symbol-level energy modulation, which allows heterogeneous devices to transmit information directly without a gateway, improving transmission efficiency and paving the way for new applications in IoT scenarios. Lastly, they outline several potential research directions to further improve the efficiency of cross-technology coexistence.

This book is intended for researchers, computer scientists, and engineers who are interested in the research areas of wireless networking, wireless communication, mobile computing, and Internet of Things. Advanced-level students studying these topics will benefit from the book as well.

本書介紹了異質無線網路中跨技術共存問題的基礎知識，並突出了一系列旨在解決此問題並提高網路性能的機制，包括協議設計、理論分析和實驗評估。

接著，本書提出了三種可以結合使用以解決跨技術共存問題並提高網路性能的機制。首先，作者提出了一種快速信號識別方法，為後續的協議設計提供基礎，並允許異質設備採用適當的傳輸策略。其次，作者提出了兩種跨技術干擾管理機制，分別在時間域和頻率域中，可以減輕干擾並增加異質設備的傳輸機會，從而提高網路性能。第三，他們提出了一種基於符號級能量調製的跨技術通信機制，使異質設備能夠直接傳輸信息而無需網關，提高傳輸效率，為物聯網場景中的新應用鋪平道路。最後，他們概述了幾個潛在的研究方向，以進一步提高跨技術共存的效率。

本書適用於對無線網路、無線通信、移動計算和物聯網等研究領域感興趣的研究人員、計算機科學家和工程師。同樣，對這些主題進行深入研究的高級學生也會從本書中受益。
