Design and Simulation of Spectrum Management Methods for Wireless Local Area Networks

Andreas Könsgen describes two major areas of spectrum management: the coordination of neighbouring networks with overlapping ranges by controlling different transmission parameters and the channel allocation by the base station inside a radio cell using a cross-layer approach. Theoretical analyses and simulations demonstrate the usage of these methods and show the QoS enhancements which can be achieved.

Dr. Andreas Könsgen completed his doctoral thesis at the Department of Communication Networks, University of Bremen.
