About this book

This book introduces a number of recent developments on connectivity of communication networks, ranging from connectivity of large static networks and connectivity of highly dynamic networks to connectivity of small to medium sized networks. This book also introduces some applications of connectivity studies in network optimization, in network localization, and in estimating distances between nodes. The book starts with an overview of the fundamental concepts, models, tools, and methodologies used for connectivity studies. The rest of the chapters are divided into four parts: connectivity of large static networks, connectivity of highly dynamic networks, connectivity of small to medium sized networks, and applications of connectivity studies.

Reviews

“This book introduces and discusses a number of recent developments on connectivity of communication networks ranging from connectivity of large static networks and highly dynamic networks to connectivity of small- to medium-sized networks. ... The book is mainly addressed to professionals and researchers dealing with the design and analysis of communication networks; it could also be used for graduate courses in the same field.” (Christina Diakaki, zbMATH 1375.90003, 2018)
