Decentralization is a centerpiece in Cameroonian's government institutions' design. This chapter elaborates a simple hierarchy model for the analysis of the effects of power devolution. The model predicts overall positive effects of…
3GPP LTE-Advanced has started a new study item to investigate Heterogeneous Network (HetNet) deployments as a cost effective way to deal with the unrelenting traffic demand. HetNets consist of a mix of macrocells, remote radio heads, and…
Terrestrial communication networks mainly focus on users in urban areas but have poor coverage performance in harsh environments, such as mountains, deserts, and oceans. Satellites can be exploited to extend the coverage of terrestrial…
In Ghana and many countries within Sub-Sahara Africa, Long Term Evolution (LTE) is being considered for use within the sectors of Governance, Energy distribution and transmission, Transport, Education and Health. Subscribers and Governments…
In the near future various types of low-carbon technologies (LCTs) are expected to be widely employed throughout the United Kingdom. However, the effect that these technologies will have at a household level on the existing low voltage (LV)…
Climate change is affecting every known society, especially for small farmers in Low-Income Countries because they depend heavily on rain, seasonality patterns, and known temperature ranges. To build climate change resilient communities…
Future cellular networks are expected to support new communication paradigms such as machine-type communication (MTC) services along with conventional human-type communication (HTC) services. This requires base stations to serve a large…
Recent trend of mobile computing is emerging toward executing resource-intensive applications in mobile devices regardless of underlying resource restrictions (e.g. limited processor and energy) that necessitate imminent technologies.…
Arguably shaped by political economy perspectives from the Global North, ICT4D aims to reduce socioeconomic disparities across countries and regions through ICT implementations, as well as to open up opportunities for empowerment and human…
Community network (CN) initiatives have been around for roughly two decades, evangelizing a distinctly different paradigm for building, maintaining, and sharing network infrastructure but also defending the basic human right to Internet…
Smart cities use technology to improve traffic patterns, energy distribution, air quality and more. The elements of a smart city can also increase the convenience for its citizens, by integrating IT technology into many aspects of citizen…
Recent advancements in technology have necessitated a paradigm shift in the people use technology necessitating a new research field called Human-Machine collaboration. ChatGPT, an Artificial intelligence (AI) assistive technology, has…
Understanding and improving mobile broadband deployment is critical to bridging the digital divide and targeting future investments. Yet accurately mapping mobile coverage is challenging. In 2019, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)…
In recent years, fast technological advancements have led to the development of high-quality software and hardware, revolutionizing various industries such as the economy, health, industry, and agriculture. Specifically, applying…
LoRa technology has garnered significant interest in the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) field in recent years due to its ability to operate at low power while maintaining effective communication. Despite gaining attention,…
Internet of Things (IoT) has triggered a rapid increase in the number of connected devices and new use cases of wireless communications. To meet the new demands, the fifth generation (5G) of wireless communication systems features native…
As of 2022, about 2.78 billion people in developing countries do not have access to the Internet. Lack of Internet access hinders economic growth, educational opportunities, and access to information and services. Recent initiatives to…
Integral to the problem of detecting communities through graph clustering is the expectation that they are "well connected". In this respect, we examine five different community detection approaches optimizing different criteria: the Leiden…
Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is gaining momentum as a promising technology for massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC). Given that its deployment is rapidly progressing worldwide, measurement campaigns and performance analyses…
Internet has significantly improved the quality of citizens across the world. Though the internet coverage is quite high, 40% of global population do not have access to broadband internet. This paper presents an analysis of a field survey…
