TL;DR: This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 9th International ICST Conference on Security and Privacy in Communication Networks, held in Sydney, Australia, in September 2013, and contains 26 revised full papers presented.

TL;DR: Several methods based on graph theoretic, enumerated search, mathematical programming, and queuing theory have been proposed as possible solutions to the problem, but nothing conclusive has been accepted as the best approach to solve scheduling problems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a novel mechanism for achieving service continuity through a Translation Matrix, which maps QoS parameters between different networks and compares existing flow parameters to possible new reservation classes as the terminal changes network access.

TL;DR: The main contribution of this work is to propose a Medium Access Control (MAC) scheme which aims to lessen the effects of deafness and hidden terminal problems in directional communications without precluding spatial reuse.

TL;DR: The last thirty years have seen tremendous growth in research in mobile telecommunications as discussed by the authors, which includes mobile telephony and more, has increased over the last ten years, however, most of the research on mobile computing addresses the engineering issues and the electronic componentary required for building mobile systems.
