While the 5th Generation (5G) system is being widely deployed across the globe, the information and communication technology (ICT) industry, research, standardization and consensus building for the 6th generation (6G) are already well underway with high expectations towards the merger of digital, physical, and human worlds. The main goal of this book is to introduce the upcoming 6G technologies…
This open-access book aims to highlight the coming surge of 5G network-based applications and predicts that the centralized networks and their current capacity will be incapable of meeting the demands. The book emphasizes the benefits and challenges associated with the integration of 5G networks with varied applications. Further, the book gathers and investigates the most recent 5G-based resear…
The system consists of a pair of satellites, which ensures that every part of the Earth is regularly observed at least twice every 12 hours. The satellites provide global coverage of numerous atmospheric and surface parameters, furnishing quantitative measurements for input to global atmospheric and surface forecast models. As users around the world have learned how to exploit this quantitative…
The Landsat program consists of a series of optical/infrared remote sensing satellites for land observation. The program was first started by The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1972, then turned over to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) after it became operational. Since 1984, satellite operation and data handling were managed by a commercial c…
This book describes programming techniques for writing applications that use persistent memory. It is written for experienced software developers, but we assume no previous experience using persistent memory. We provide many code examples in a variety of programming languages. Most programmers will understand these examples, even if they have not previously used the specific language. he persis…
