CAPACITY ALLOCATION IN
WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS
- MODELS AND ANALYSES -
ISBN 90-9017132-0
Cover design by Remco Litjens, Maria Fleuren and Coen de Vos. The cover ex-
emplifies the modelling component of wireless network performance analysis with a
gradual transition of the realistic ‘best server areas’ to their typical hexagonal mod-
elling equivalent.
