Video over Cognitive Radio Networks: When Quality of Service Meets Spectrum [Paperback]

This book focuses on the problem of video streaming over emerging cognitive radio (CR) networks. The book discusses the problems and techniques for scalable video streaming over cellular cognitive radio networks, ad hoc CR networks, cooperative CR networks, and femtocell CR networks. The authors formulate these problems and propose optimal algorithms to solve these problems. Also the book analyzes the proposed algorithms and validates the algorithms with simulations.This book focuses on the problem of video streaming over emerging cognitive radio (CR) networks, ad hoc CR networks, cooperative CR networks, and femtocell CR networks.
