Glisic (U. of Oulu, Finland) describes the major technical issues and challenges for the fourth generation (4G) of wireless communication networks. Noting the likely need for more adaptive and reconfigurable solutions on all layers of the network arising from 4G's composite radio environment, he spends the first part of the book dealing with adaptive link, multiple access, network and TCP (1) (Transmission Control Protocol) The reliable transport protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite. TCP ensures that all data arrive accurately and 100% intact at the other end.  layers, and crosslayer optimization. He then present chapters on mobility management, adaptive radio resource management, ad hoc For this purpose. Meaning "to this" in Latin, it refers to dealing with special situations as they occur rather than functions that are repeated on a regular basis. See ad hoc query and ad hoc mode.  and sensor networks A low-speed industrial network that is used to connect sensors to actuators. A sensor network implies limited or no controller functions. Multiple sensor networks may be coupled to form device networks. See industrial control network. , and security. Among the more advanced applications topics he deals with are programmable networks, reference models, 4G mobile network architecture, cognitive packet networks, random neural networks The random neural network (RNN) is a mathematical representation of neurons or cells which exchange spiking signals. Each cell is represented by an integer whose value rises when the cell receives an excitatory spike and drops when it receives an inhibitory spike.  based algorithms, and game theory models in cognitive radio Cognitive radio is a paradigm for wireless communication in which either a network or a wireless node changes its transmission or reception parameters to communicate efficiently avoiding interference with licensed or unlicensed users.  networks. He also covers topics in network management, including self-organization in 4G networks, mobile agent-based network management, mobile agent platform, mobile agents in multioperator networks, and integration of routing algorithm. Other chapters discuss network information theory, energy efficient wireless networks, and quality of service management.
