Practical LTE based security forces PMR networks
by Arnaud Henry-LabordèreSecurity forces PMR networks are moving from proprietary technologies for their Mission Critical Push-To-Talk basic service, and their data services which must provide large bandwidth real-time access, to the databases. LTE Based is adopted with backup access to public MNOs to complement their own radio coverage. Specific technologies such as multicasting of visio are required so the MCPTT works within a restricted bandwidth. The need to be able to change the main MNOs to provide resilient coverage requires specific choices of SIM cards, with OTAble security domains. Practical LTE Based Security Forces PMR Networks assumes that the reader has a basic knowledge of the 4G network architecture and services, and the book focusses on the specific features and choices required to fulfill the need of security forces PMR networks. These include tactical and centralized, including LTE based voice services VoLTE and IMS. It can be used as a reference or textbook, with many detailed call flows and traces being included. The author, who has also a long teaching career in Operations Research, provides mathematical models for the optimization of tactical network federations, multicast coverage and allocation of preemptive priorities to PMR group members. He is a pioneer in the area of Virtual Roaming, an application of graph theory and telecommunications to provide roaming without direct relations, having previously published books on SMS Hubs, SS7 Hubs, Diameter Hubs, GTP Hubs. The use of M2M (monitoring devices) for security forces with mobility is covered in detail in the book, including the new LoRa virtual roaming which goes beyond the scope of PMR.

Armed with knowledge from this book, you'll be able to understand, implement, and adapt myriad modern analysis methods and algorithms.Ideal for practitioners and students using computer technology and algorithms, this book introduces you to:The interpretations and applications of vectors and matricesMatrix arithmetic (various multiplications and transformations)Independence, rank, and inversesImportant decompositions used in applied linear algebra (including LU and QR)Eigendecomposition and singular value decompositionApplications including least-squares model fitting and principal components analysis
Practical Linear Algebra: A Geometry Toolbox (Textbooks in Mathematics)
by Gerald Farin Dianne HansfordLinear algebra is growing in importance. 3D entertainment, animations in movies and video games are developed using linear algebra. Animated characters are generated using equations straight out of this book. Linear algebra is used to extract knowledge from the massive amounts of data generated from modern technology. The Fourth Edition of this popular text introduces linear algebra in a comprehensive, geometric, and algorithmic way. The authors start with the fundamentals in 2D and 3D, then move on to higher dimensions, expanding on the fundamentals and introducing new topics, which are necessary for many real-life applications and the development of abstract thought. Applications are introduced to motivate topics. The subtitle, A Geometry Toolbox, hints at the book’s geometric approach, which is supported by many sketches and figures. Furthermore, the book covers applications of triangles, polygons, conics, and curves. Examples demonstrate each topic in action. This practical approach to a linear algebra course, whether through classroom instruction or self-study, is unique to this book. New to the Fourth Edition: Ten new application sections. A new section on change of basis. This concept now appears in several places. Chapters 14-16 on higher dimensions are notably revised. A deeper look at polynomials in the gallery of spaces. Introduces the QR decomposition and its relevance to least squares. Similarity and diagonalization are given more attention, as are eigenfunctions. A longer thread on least squares, running from orthogonal projections to a solution via SVD and the pseudoinverse. More applications for PCA have been added. More examples, exercises, and more on the kernel and general linear spaces. A list of applications has been added in Appendix A. The book gives instructors the option of tailoring the course for the primary interests of their students: mathematics, engineering, science, computer graphics, and geometric modeling.

Practical MATLAB Modeling with Simulink: Programming and Simulating Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations
by Sulaymon L. EshkabilovEmploy the essential and hands-on tools and functions of MATLAB's ordinary differential equation (ODE) and partial differential equation (PDE) packages, which are explained and demonstrated via interactive examples and case studies. This book contains dozens of simulations and solved problems via m-files/scripts and Simulink models which help you to learn programming and modeling of more difficult, complex problems that involve the use of ODEs and PDEs.You’ll become efficient with many of the built-in tools and functions of MATLAB/Simulink while solving more complex engineering and scientific computing problems that require and use differential equations. Practical MATLAB Modeling with Simulink explains various practical issues of programming and modelling.After reading and using this book, you'll be proficient at using MATLAB and applying the source code from the book's examples as templates for your own projects in data science or engineering.
