This volume analyzes how people of diverse cultural and religious backgrounds living around the “Middle Sea” perceived, felt, and described homesickness, using a multidisciplinary approach which brings new perspectives to known phenomena and their evolving meanings. The sixteen chapters in this book span the fields of history, literary and cultural studies, and musicology to explore and revisit old and new subjects including diasporas, renegades, expatriates, travelogues, testaments, inquisitorial processes, songbooks, movies, and photos. Together, they provide a comprehensive picture of homesickness across states, cultures, religions, and people, furthering understanding of how individuals, communities, and nations created and expressed images, ideas, and emotions on this subject. Though centered around the Mediterranean, this volume also studies the impact of homesickness in a larger geography touched by the Iberian empires. This important contribution to the history of emotions offers studies on subjects seldom available in the English-speaking world and will appeal to undergraduates, postgraduates, scholars, and non-specialists alike.
Architecture and Design for the Future Internet addresses the Networks of the Future and the Future Internet, focusing on networks aspects, offering both technical and non-technical perspectives. It presents the main findings of 4WARD (Architecture and Design for the Future Internet), a European Integrated Project within Framework Programme 7, which addressed this area from an innovative approach. Today’s network architectures are stifling innovation, restricting it mostly to the application level, while the need for structural change is increasingly evident. The absence of adequate facilities to design, optimise and interoperate new networks currently forces a convergence to an architectu...
Radio Technologies and Concepts for IMT-Advanced presents the findings of the Wireless World Initiative New Radio (WINNER) project in Framework Program 6 of the European Commission. It provides an insight into the key concepts and technologies for the IMT-Advanced radio interface, based on the collaborative research of manufacturers, network operators, research centres and universities within WINNER. The book covers the fundamental radio characteristics of a typical 4G wireless communication system, focusing on the transceiver’s chain from the physical layer to layers 2 and 3. Starting by defining realistic and futuristic usage scenarios, the authors provide in-depth discussion of key tech...

Get a clear, complete debriefing on the current status of the third generation radio interface technology now being standardized by the international body 3GPP. This timely new work, written by Europe's leading mobile communications researchers from manufacturing, operators, and academia, gives you a thorough explanation of the basic principles of multiple access technologies, including receiver algorithms, coding, and modulation, to help you stay up-to-date with the development of third generation systems. Much of the research presented here originated in the FRAMES (Future Radio Wideband Multiple Access System) Project, which was partly funded by the European Commission. It served as the basis for ETSI's decision to adopt W-CDMA/TD-CDMA as the air interface standard for third generation systems, as well as for the actual specification work in 3GPP.
