ABSTRACT
Mobile computing systems have offered spectacular achievements and opportunities for applications and services in information and communication technologies. These attainments are based mainly on progress in the following fundamental areas: communication and information theory, signal processing, and computer and related technologies. The statistical approach to the consideration of most problems related to information transmission has become dominant since any real signal, propagation media, interference, and even information itself all have an intrinsically random nature. In this chapter, a stochastic radio framework that uses multidimensional stochastic differential equations (SDEs) and captures the properties of wireless channels is presented. Furthermore, this radio framework is applied to simulate mobile computing systems (terrestrial and satellite) in terms of predicting outage and interference statistics and other telecommunication parameters. More particularly, some complex wireless networks such as multihop mobile computing systems and coexistence of broadband satellite communication networks and terrestrial systems are investigated. Finally, a section for further research directions and some conclusions is given.
