The study of the Olympic Movement, in its different manifestations, not just following its European origins, but also considering the agency, struggles, and contributions of Latin American and Caribbean societies to this phenomenon offers a more balanced perspective of the Olympic Movement's history and this region's role in it, while at the same time illuminating the role that the Olympic Movement played in the making of this region. Thus, the book provides potent vistas of the varied ways in which the Olympic Movement has played a significant role in broader social, political, and cultural processes in these societies, and occasionally beyond them. Similarly, it allows to observe and evaluate Latin American and Caribbean influences on the Olympic Movement, as well as the actors and actresses, rationales, and forces at play"--Provided by publisher.Sport, Culture, and SocietySportsCaribbean AreaHistorySportsLatin AmericaHistoryNationalism and sportsCaribbean AreaNationalism and sportsLatin AmericaOlympicsHistoryOlympicsSocial aspectsCaribbean AreaOlympicsSocial aspectsLatin AmericaOlympicsParticipation, Latin AmericanElectronic books.

It provides a background to advances in the field of cognitive radios and a new exploration of how these radios can work together as a network. Cognitive Radio Networks starts with an introduction to the fundamentals of wireless communications, introducing technologies such as OFDM & MIMO. It moves onto cover software defined radio and explores and contrasts wireless, cooperative and cognitive networks and communications. Spectrum sensing, medium access control and network layer design are examined before the book concludes by covering the topics of trusted cognitive radio networks and spectrum management. Unique in providing a brief but clear tutorial and reference to cognitive radio networks this book is a single reference, written at the appropriate level for newcomers as well as providing an encompassing text for those with more knowledge of the subject. <ul type="disc">. One of the first books to provide a systematic description of cognitive radio networks. Provides pervasive background knowledge including both wireless communications and wireless networks.
