Biography 

Guowang Miao received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from Tsinghua University and the Georgia Institute of Technology. He is an Associate Professor with KTH Royal Institute of Technology. He has been taking unpaid leave, during which he has founded FreeLinguist®, a cloud platform for you to connect with native linguists for quality language services, such as translation, editing, or writing services. Before he was with Intel Labs as a Research Engineer and Samsung Research America as a Senior Standard Engineer and a 3GPP LTE-A Delegate. In 2011, he received the Individual Gold Award from Samsung Research America for his contributions in LTE-A standardization. His research interest is in the design of mobile communications and networking and he is well known for his original contributions in building a set of fundamental energy-efficient communications theories, which are widely accepted nowadays. For example he is the main inventor of energy efficient scheduling and capacity-approaching transmission (United States Patent 7782829). He is also the lead author of the graduate textbook entitled Fundamentals of Mobile Data Networks (Cambridge University Press), and the book entitled Energy and Spectrum Efficient Wireless Network Design (Cambridge University Press). He has authored over 90 research papers in premier journals or conferences. He has had several patents granted and many more filed. Several of his patented technologies have been adopted as essential in 4G standards. He has been a Technical Program Committee Member of many international conferences and is on the Editorial Board of several international journals.

http://www.cambridge.org/se/academic/subjects/engineering/wireless-communications/energy-and-spectrum-efficient-wireless-network-design
This unique text provides a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the theory and practice for mobile data networks. Covering basic design principles as well as analytical tools for network performance evaluation, and with a focus on system-level resource management, you will learn how state-of-the-art network design can enable you flexibly and efficiently to manage and trade-off various resources such as spectrum, energy, and infrastructure investments. Topics covered range from traditional elements such as medium access, cell deployment, capacity, handover, and interference management, to more recent cutting-edge topics such as heterogeneous networks, energy and cost-efficient network design, and a detailed introduction to LTE (4G). Numerous worked examples and exercises illustrate the key theoretical concepts and help you put your knowledge into practice, making this an essential resource whether you are a student, researcher, or practicing engineer.
