Evolutionary Dynamics of Complex Communications Networks

Digital & Wireless Communications

Until recently, most network design techniques employed a bottom-up approach

with lower protocol layer mechanisms affecting the development of higher

ones. This approach, however, has not yielded fascinating results in the case of

wireless distributed networks.

Addressing the emerging aspects of modern network analysis and design,

Evolutionary Dynamics of Complex Communications Networks

introduces

and develops a top-bottom approach where elements of the higher layer can be

exploited in modifying the lowest physical topology—closing the network design

loop in an evolutionary fashion similar to that observed i ...
