This comprehensive handbook brings together experts who use optimization to solve problems that arise in telecommunications. It is the first book to cover in detail the field of optimization in telecommunications. Recent optimization developments that are frequently applied to telecommunications are covered. The spectrum of topics covered includes planning and design of telecommunication networks, routing, network protection, grooming, restoration, wireless communications, network location and assignment problems, Internet protocol, World Wide Web, and stochastic issues in telecommunications. The book’s objective is to provide a reference tool for the increasing number of scientists and engineers in telecommunications who depend upon optimization.

Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
"I highly recommend The Handbook of Optimization in Telecommunications as an invaluable resource for anyone interested in understanding the impact of optimization on the most import problems facing the telecommunications industry today.
The handbook is unprecedented in the breadth and depth of its coverage, illustrating that telecommunications offers a vast array of interesting and important optimization problems probably exceeding the traditional areas of transportation networks, engineering, economics and military operations.”
—Clyde Monma, Retired Chief Scientist, Applied Research Area, Telcordia Technologies
Telecommunications has had a major impact in all aspects of life in the last century. There is little doubt that the transformation from the industrial age to the information age has been fundamentally influenced by advances in telecommunications.
Optimization problems are abundant in the telecommunications industry. The successful solution of these problems has played an important role in the development of telecommunications and its widespread use. Optimization problems arise in the design of telecommunication systems and in their operation.
The Handbook of Optimization in Telecommunications brings together experts from around the world who use optimization to solve problems that arise in telecommunications. The editors made an effort to cover recent optimization developments that are frequently applied to telecommunications. The spectrum of topics covered includes planning and design of telecommunication networks, routing, network protection, grooming, restoration, wireless communications, network location and assignment problems, Internet protocol, World Wide Web, and stochastic issues in telecommunications. The editors’ objective is to provide a reference tool for the increasing number of scientists and engineers in telecommunications who depend upon optimization in some way.
Each chapter in the handbook is of an expository nature, but of scholarly treatment, and includes a brief overview of the state-of-the-art thinking relative to the topic, as well as pointers to the key references in the field. Specialists as well as nonspecialists should find this handbook stimulating and helpful.
Audience
This handbook will be useful for students, researchers, and practitioners in engineering, computer science, statistics, operations research, and mathematics.

This review is from: Handbook of Optimization in Telecommunications (Hardcover)
Much of the handbook concerns network design and the many optimisation issues that arise. Thus linear programming figures prominently as an important optimisation method.
For the actual networks, they are now mostly optical fibers, as copper networks are being actively phased out. Cellular networks also are heavily discussed. Here, optimisation problems often involve finding optimal placements of base stations, subject to geographical and estimated traffic loads. Various routing methods are discussed for switching packets across a network. Some of these have been used for years. Traffic load projections for future years are given. An important problem is building out sufficient capacity to handle these loads. Very nontrivial and expensive topic.
