Embedded systems are becoming increasingly complex, and as they become more widespread, more capable, and more densely integrated in everyday consumer, household, industrial, and more specialized products, the design and use in applications of such systems requires knowledge of several different disciplines such as electronics, data processing, telecommunications, and networks. Without detailing all aspects of electronics, circuit design, and computer architecture related to the design of embedded systems, this book, written by expert specialists in electronics, data processing and telecommunications and networks, gives important insights into the communication techniques and problems encountered in embedded systems. The book focuses on applications in the area of telecommunications and networks because the vast majority of embedded systems are deployed in communications systems and equipment, and it therefore makes an excellent field-wide case study.

This book focuses on green networking, which is an important topic for the scientific community composed of engineers, academics, researchers and industrialists working in the networking field. Reducing the environmental impact of the communications infrastructure has become essential with the ever increasing cost of energy and the need for reducing global CO2 emissions to protect our environment.Recent advances and future directions in green networking are presented in this book, including energy efficient networks (wired networks, wireless networks, mobile networks), adaptive networks (cognitive radio networks, green autonomic networking), green terminals, and industrial research into green networking (smart city, etc.).
