Conclusion and future work

In the previous chapter, we have already presented the design of attachment transmission and demonstrated several promising applications to solve certain classic problems. In this chapter, we first draw the conclusion of the book and then further discuss the potential scenarios that may benefit from attachment transmission, including Quality of Service (QoS) control (Zhu and Corson, Proceedings of the twenty-first annual joint conference of the IEEE Computer and communications societies (INFOCOM 2002), vol 2, pp 958–967, IEEE, 2002; Wu and Tsang, INFOCOM 2009, pp 981–989, IEEE, 2009) in multimedia transmission and sensing and coordination in Cognitive Radio network (CRN) (Gao et al., IEEE J Sel Areas Commun 29:784–793, 2011; Akyildiz et al., Phys Commun 4(1):40–62, 2011). These topics also are worth studying, and we believe that more communication system could benefit from attachment transmission paradigm.
