✦ Synopsis

This book is dedicated to recent novel applications of soft computing in communications. It presents the methodologies of neural networks, evolutionary computation, fuzzy logic and neurofuzzy systems, and kernel methods. Applications to the wide field of communications are demonstrated, such as to multiservice access multiplexers, hierarchical cellular systems, multicast routing, optimal channel assignment to cellular mobile communications, transporting voice over a wireless LAN, or the design of communication antennas.
