Focusing on the evolution of communication networks, this book explores the integration of computing and storage into traditional transport systems. It highlights innovative 'softwarized' solutions aimed at minimizing latency and enhancing resilience, while addressing the challenges of computing latency and energy consumption. The authors propose hybrid classical-quantum communication networks as a viable solution to these issues. By intertwining concepts from quantum networking, information theory, computing, and simulation, the book offers a comprehensive perspective on the future of quantum communication.

This book discusses the concept of mobile cloud, creating a dynamic research space for opportunistic resource sharing and covering both theoretical approaches and commercially viable ideas. A mobile cloud consists of interconnected communication nodes that share resources opportunistically. The authors provide a comprehensive overview of this emerging technology, exploring various ways mobile users can share distributed resources for different purposes. The book includes stimulating examples of resource-sharing applications and discusses enabling technologies, particularly the role of network coding. Mobile clouds can enhance communication performance, improve resource utilization, and create innovative sharing platforms. The energy-efficient aspects of mobile clouds are examined, highlighting significant energy savings through cooperation among users. Multiple examples of mobile cloud applications are presented, drawing from existing commercial initiatives and proof-of-concept test-beds. The book also discusses future visions and prospects, emphasizing the interdependence of mobile and social networks in resource sharing. This foundational concept supports a global real-time multidimensional resource pool, essential for the shareconomy. It serves as an inspiring resource for anyone interested in the future of wireless communications and their relationship with social networks. Key features make it valuable for researchers, st
Das Buch bietet eine umfassende Anleitung zu Quantenkommunikationsnetzen und beleuchtet wichtige Paradigmenwechsel in der Kommunikationsnetztechnologie. Die Autoren analysieren, wie die Integration von Rechen- und Speicherfunktionen in bestehende Netzwerke die Effizienz steigern kann, indem Latenzzeiten verringert und die Ausfallsicherheit verbessert werden. Sie thematisieren die Herausforderungen, die mit der Rechenlatenz und dem Energieverbrauch verbunden sind, und präsentieren hybride klassisch-quantische Ansätze als Lösungsansatz. Zudem wird die Verbindung zwischen Quantennetzwerken, Quanteninformationstheorie und -simulationen untersucht.
