Research Advances in Network Technologies - Anshul Verma - Bog

In the present technological age, information is a valuable resource for both small and large enterprises as well as for our daily lives. The key enablers that link the computer resources and devices together to gather, process, and distribute the crucial data both locally and worldwide are network technologies. For our daily lives and commercial operations, network technologies offer effective, adaptable, and seamless communication while maximizing productivity and resources. Due to its significance, this field has undergone a significant evolution in the past few decades, moving away from traditional wired networks and toward Bluetooth, Infrared, Microwave, Radio, and Satellite networks. These days, network technologies are not only employed in computer labs, businesses, or homes; a wide range of various domains, such vehicular ad-hoc networks, mobile ad-hoc networks, and the internet of things, have been seen using network technologies. Researchers from academia and industry have worked hard to build the burgeoning software-based network technologies, such as middleware, protocol stacks, and network software architectures, in addition to the hardware-based and physical network technologies. The paradigm shift in this field is primarily being driven by software-based network technologies, which have also given rise to numerous new network innovations including grid computing, cloud computing, fog computing, edge computing, software defined networks, content centric networks, and so on. However, numerous efforts have been made in cellular network technologies to boost the user experience, and as a result, new cellular network technologies including LTE, VoLTE, and 5G have been developed. Numerous efforts have been made in the networking area by researchers due to the demand for and importance of it in the present and future situations. Many of these efforts are still in progress, and there are still many possibilities that need to be investigated. As a result, it's important to stay up to date on network technology developments and look into further research difficulties that need to be solved for the benefit of users. This book will present the most recent and leading research work in the field of network technologies in order to achieve solutions for various problems exist in this domain.
