This textbook offers a comprehensive guideline for integrated data and energy transfer, from theoretical fundamentals to practical implementations and applications. This book is suitable for students, engineers and scientists in electronic engineering who are interested in the integrated data and energy transfer in future wireless networks. The authors cover waveform and transceiver design in the physical layer, resource allocation and medium access control protocol, networking and deployment as well as practical implementation of the wireless integrated data and energy transfer. The authors commence from information theoretical fundamentals, physical layer design principles, medium access control, and networking techniques. The book ends with a practical prototype of integrated data and energy transfer. The book is geared towards graduate students and senior undergrads having a general background of wireless communications. The book features exercises, Q&A, and examples throughout.

Modern Condensed Matter Physics brings together the most important advances in the field of recent decades. It provides instructors teaching graduate-level condensed matter courses with a comprehensive and in-depth textbook that will prepare graduate students for research or further study as well as reading more advanced and specialized books and research literature in the field. This textbook covers the basics of crystalline solids as well as analogous optical lattices and photonic crystals, while discussing cutting-edge topics such as disordered systems, mesoscopic systems, many-body systems, quantum magnetism, Bose–Einstein condensates, quantum entanglement, and superconducting quantum bits. Students are provided with the appropriate mathematical background to understand the topological concepts that have been permeating the field, together with numerous physical examples ranging from the fractional quantum Hall effect to topological insulators, the toric code, and majorana fermions. Exercises, commentary boxes, and appendices afford guidance and feedback for beginners and experts alike.

The book discusses data and energy integrated communication networking technologies, including the latest research contributions in this promising area. It firstly provides an overview of data and energy integrated communication networks (DEINs) and introduces the key techniques for enabling integrated wireless energy transfer (WET) and wireless information transfer (WIT) in the radio frequency (RF) band. It then describes the ubiquitous architecture of DEINs and demonstrates the typical DEIN system and investigates the core issues in both the physical layer and the medium-access-control (MAC) layer in order to coordinate both the WIT and WET in the same RF band. Lastly, the book addresses a number of emerging research topics in the field of DEINs. It promotes joint efforts from both academia and industry to push DEIN a step closer to practical implementation. It is also a valuable resource for students interested in studying cutting-edge techniques in this field.
