The key parameter that needs to be considered when planning the management of resources in futuristic wireless networks is a balanced approach to resource distribution. A balanced approach is necessary to provide an unbiased working environment for the distribution, sharing, allocation, and supply of resources among the devices of the wireless network. Equal resource distribution also maintains balance and stability between the operations of communication systems and thus improves the performance of wireless networks. Managing Resources for Futuristic Wireless Networks is a pivotal reference source that presents research related to the control and management of key parameters of bandwidth, spectrum sensing, channel selection, resource sharing, and task scheduling, which is necessary to ensure the efficient operation of wireless networks. Featuring topics that include vehicular ad-hoc networks, resource management, and the internet of things, this publication is ideal for professionals and researchers working in the field of networking, information and knowledge management, and communication sciences. Moreover, the book will provide insights and support executives concerned with the management of expertise, knowledge, information, and organizational development in different types of work communities and environments.

This book introduces the sources and historic collection campaigns of resource allocation in wireless communication systems. The unique characteristics of MIMO-OFDMA systems are thoroughly studied and summarized. Remarks on resource allocation and spectrum sharing are also presented, which demonstrate the great value of resource allocation techniques, but also introduce distinct challenges of resource allocation in MIMO-OFDMA systems. Novel resource allocation techniques for OFDMA Systems are surveyed from various applications (e.g., for unicast, or multicast with Guaranteed BER and Rate, subcarrier and power allocation with various detectors, low-complexity energyefficient resource allocation, etc.) in this book. Due to the high mobility and low latency requirements of 5G wireless communications, this book discusses how to deal with the imperfect CSI. It also discusses how to deal with e.g., throughput maximization, outage probabilities maximization and guarantee, energy efficiency, physical-layer security issues with feedback channel capacity constraints, in order to characterize and understand the applications of practical scenes. This book will target professionals & researchers working in the fields of Wireless Communications and Networking, Resource Allocation and Transmissions. Advanced-level students in electrical engineering and computer science will also find this book useful as a secondary textbook.
