*Introduction:*

In the ever-evolving telecommunication industry, smart mobile computing
devices have become increasingly affordable and powerful, leading to
significant growth in the number of advanced mobile users and their
bandwidth demands. Technological improvements alone would not be able to
keep up with this explosion of mobile broadband traffic. Thus, even though
LTE-Advanced is seen as a dominant player in offering support for mobile
broadband and broadcast technologies, making use of the Digital Dividend
spectrum allocation for mobile networks could bring game-changing benefits
to all parties involved. Bringing together broadband, broadcast, and
cellular technologies for global consumers could contribute to the
economical, social, and technological benefits of mobile devices.

*The Overall Objectives of the Book*

This book aims to present a survey of the broadband, broadcast, and
cellular coexistence solutions that are proposed in the literature. The
book addresses these coexistence problems, which could appear at different
levels, e.g., physical characteristics, open access, technology-neutrality,
coverage obligations (under-served or unserved remote areas), efficient use
of the spectrum resources (Digital Dividend), minimization of the
interference problems, socio-economic characteristics, healthcare,
education, energy, etc.

*Prospective audience*

The prospective audience of this book will be undergraduate students,
postgraduate students, and researchers who are interested in the emerging
area of broadband, broadcast and cellular technologies. The book could be
considered a link between academia and industry. Academia could benefit by
having a general view of the existing research issues and ideas on the
mentioned topics, and on the other side, the industry could benefit by
applying ideas or acknowledge issues in real-world applications.

*Recommended topics include, but not limited to:*

         Efficient and Productive usage of the spectrum resources

-          Solutions and challenges

-          Socio-economic characteristics

-          Impact on education, healthcare, and technology

-         Open-access, technology neutrality, coverage obligations

-          Mobility challenges and management

         Broadband, broadcast, and cellular technologies coexistence

-          Solutions and challenges

-          Interoperability aspects

-          Physical characteristics

-          Interferences and coexistence issues

-          Quality-of service provisioning

-          Cross-layer optimization

*Submission Procedure*

You are invited to submit on or before *February 28, 2013*, *a 2-3 pages
manuscript proposal clearly describing and explaining the topic of the
proposed chapter.* The proposal should include the chapter summary, table
of contents, and authors contact information. Authors of accepted
proposals will be notified by *May 30, 2013* about the status of their
proposals and sent chapter organisational guidelines. Full chapter are
expected to be submitted by *July 30, 2013*. All submitted chapters will be
reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested
to serve as reviewers for this project.

*Publisher*

This book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group
Inc.), publisher of the Information Science Reference (formerly Idea
Group Reference), Medical Information Science Reference, Business
Science Reference, and Engineering Science Reference imprints. For
