Integrated Sensing and Communications
by Yonina C. Eldar Fan Liu Christos MasourosThe coming generations of wireless network technologies will serve, not only as a means of connecting physical and digital environments, but also to set the foundation for an intelligent world in which all aspects are interconnected, sensed, and endowed with intelligence. Beyond merely providing communication capabilities, future networks will have the capacity to "see" and interpret the physical world. This development compels us to re-imagine the design of current communication infrastructures and terminals, taking into account crucial aspects such as fundamental constraints and tradeoffs, information extraction and processing technologies, issues of public security and privacy, as well as the emergence of numerous new applications. This field of research is known as Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC), and it has ushered in a paradigm shift towards the omnipresence of radio devices.This book provides the first comprehensive introduction to the ISAC theoretical and practical framework. Each chapter is authored by a group of world-leading experts, including over 10 IEEE Fellows. Readers can expect to gain both a broad overview and detailed technical insights into the latest ISAC innovations.

Integrated Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial Networks (Synthesis Lectures on Communications)
by Muhammad Ali Jamshed Ali NaumanThis book aims to address a wide range of topics in wireless/satellite communications to tackle the issues related to the integration of terrestrial networks (TN) with non-terrestrial networks (NTN). In Release 17, the third-generation partnership project (3GPP) proposed the standardization of NTN to allow 5G-based TN to support NTN. According to Release 17, the NTN will consist of satellites, with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and high-altitude platforms (HAPs) regarded as specific use cases of NTN. Similar to the Global Positioning System (GPS), signals based on NTN are unable to provide indoor coverage, as these signals are attenuated and scattered by roofs, walls, etc. Moreover, power and delay are critical factors that restrict a cellular-enabled mobile handset from achieving reliability, seamless coverage, and low latency while relying on NTN. This book has brought together multidisciplinary contributors in the field of wireless/satellite communications to identify and present technical challenges and recent results related to the design of energy-efficient, delay-tolerant, and enhanced coverage-based integrated TN and NTN. Given that challenges and future aspects are also considered, the book covers a wide variety of subject categories and would therefore benefit a larger readership in the scientific community.

Integration Through Law: ASEAN as an Actor in International Fora
by Jürgen Rüland Nguitragool, Paruedee and Rüland, Jürgen Paruedee NguitragoolASEAN as an Actor in International Fora addresses a blind spot in ASEAN research and in comparative regionalism studies by assessing why, how, when and to what extent ASEAN member governments achieve a collective presence in global fora. Written for academic researchers and practitioners working in areas such as international relations, political science and international law, it examines ASEAN's negotiating behavior with a novel four-point cohesion typology. The authors argue that ASEAN's 'cognitive prior' and its repository of cooperation norms have affected ASEAN's negotiation capacities, formats, strategies and cohesion in international fora. Using two case studies - one on ASEAN's cohesion in the WTO agricultural negotiations and one on UN negotiations on forced labor in Myanmar - they examine ASEAN's collective actions at different stages of negotiation, in different issue areas and in different negotiating fora. The book concludes by providing recommendations for strengthening ASEAN's international negotiation capacities.

Integrationism and the Self: Reflections on the Legal Personhood of Animals (Routledge Advances in Communication and Linguistic Theory)
by Christopher HuttonIn recent years a set of challenging questions have arisen in relation to the status of animals; their treatment by human beings; their cognitive abilities; and the nature of their feelings, emotions, and capacity for suffering. This ground-breaking book draws from integrational semiology to investigate arguments around the rights of certain animals to be recognized as legal persons, thereby granting them many of the protections enjoyed by humans. In parallel with these debates, the question of the legal personality of artificial intelligence (AI) systems has moved to the forefront of legal debate, with entities such as robots, cyborgs, self-driving cars, and genetically engineered beings under consideration. Integrationism offers a framework within which the wider theoretical and practical issues can be understood. Law requires closure and categorical answers; integrationism is an open-ended form of inquiry that is seen as removed from particular controversies. This book argues that the two domains can be brought together in a challenging and productive synthesis. A much-needed resource to examine the heart of this fascinating debate and a must-read for anyone interested in semiology, linguistics, philosophy, ethics, and law.
Integrative Framing Analysis: Framing Health through Words and Visuals (Routledge Research in Communication Studies)
by Viorela DanMuch of framing scholarship focuses either exclusively on the analysis of words or of visuals. This book aims to address this gap by proposing a six-step approach to the analysis of verbal frames, visual frames and the interplay between them—an integrative framing analysis. This approach is then demonstrated through a study investigating the way words and visuals are used to frame people living with HIV/AIDS in various communication contexts: the news, public service announcements and special interest publications. This application of integrative framing analysis reveals differences between verbal frames and visual frames in the same messages, underscoring the importance of looking at these frames together.

Intellectual Property Rights and Communications in Asia: Conflicting Traditions
by Pradip Ninan Thomas and Jan ServaesThis volume explores the contested nature of the ownership of knowledge and access to it in Asia. It offers insights into solving some of the key issues related to intellectual property (IP) and communication in the contemporary world. With the ownership of IP becoming a core feature of media/information industries and state policy, issues related to access to knowledge and its use have become a matter of critical concern. While trade regimes, the state and the core cultural and information industries have begun to advocate greater scope for a variety of knowledge enclosures, civil society is increasingly arguing for a people-centered vision of knowledge futures. This vision includes the need for equity-based and flexible licensing regimes; the legitimacy of local solutions to IP related issues; support for cultural diversity; and access to knowledge based on need rather than the ability to pay for knowledge. This book explores these important issues, supported by case studies from the Asian region. It presents an extensive picture of a dynamic and complex process that reveals some of the dilemmas of the digital age.

Intellektuelles Kapital in deutschen Non-Profit-Organisationen: Eine empirische Studie
by Katrin BlankenburgDieses Buch beschreibt, wie Non-Profit-Organisationen (NPOs) kommunizieren, was sie ausmacht, Erfolg signalisieren und Nachhaltigkeit zeigen, um Stakeholder davon zu überzeugen, wichtige Ressourcen bereitzustellen. Einen lohnenswerten Ansatz bieten Berichte zum intellektuellen Kapital. Auf der Grundlage empirischer Untersuchungen zeigt das Buch auf, welche Ressourcen für NPOs unverzichtbar sind, welche Anforderungen an Organisationen gestellt werden und welche Abhängigkeiten zwischen diesen Ressourcen und Anforderungen bestehen. Diese Erkenntnisse helfen gemeinnützigen Organisationen, die notwendigen Informationen bereitzustellen und dabei die Offenlegung auf ein Minimum zu beschränken, um mögliche Wettbewerbsvorteile nicht zu verschenken. Des Weiteren wird der Status quo der Offenlegung von IK in Deutschland dargestellt und ein theoretischer Rahmen für die Motivation von NPOs, Informationen über ihre IK offenzulegen, vorgestellt. Diese Ergebnisse bilden eine solide Grundlage für weitere Forschungen. Schließlich wird ein Rahmen für die Offenlegung von intellektuellem Kapital zur Unterstützung von Praktikern bereitgestellt.
