An energy-efficient distributed clustering algorithm for heterogeneous WSNs
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2015 , Article)
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) were envisaged to become the fabric of our environment and society. However, they are yet unable to surmount many operational challenges such as limited network lifetime, which strangle their ...
An Attack-Resistant Trust Model Based on Multidimensional Trust Metrics in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
Underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs) have been widely used in many applications where a variable number of sensor nodes collaborate with each other to perform monitoring tasks. A trust model plays an important role ...
A Fatigue Measuring Protocol for Wireless Body Area Sensor Networks
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2015 , Article)
As players and soldiers preform strenuous exercises and do difficult and tiring duties, they are usually the common victims of muscular fatigue. Keeping this in mind, we propose FAtigue MEasurement (FAME) protocol for ...
Maximizing Energy Efficiency in Multiple Access Channels by Exploiting Packet Dropping and Transmitter Buffering
(
IEEE
, 2015 , Article)
Quality of service (QoS) for a network is characterized in terms of various parameters specifying packet delay and loss tolerance requirements for the application. The unpredictable nature of the wireless channel demands ...
Implementation and Analysis of Reward Functions under Different Traffic Models for Distributed DSA Systems
(
IEEE
, 2015 , Article)
In this paper, we implement and analyze a resource allocation protocol for distributed dynamic spectrum allocation (DSA) systems. The DSA protocol is a learning-based protocol that allows secondary users (SU) to exploit ...

IEEE
, 2012 , Article)
In Qatar, the prevalence of diabetes is significantly high, therefore a lot of efforts have been made to control this epidemic. This paper presents a mobile application aims to assist diabetic people in Qatar to manage ...
Robust human silhouette extraction with Laplacian fitting
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
Human silhouette extraction has been a primary step to estimate human poses or classify activities from videos. While the accuracy of human silhouettes has great impact on the follow-on human pose/gait estimation, it has ...
Performance analysis of a cell-based call admission control scheme for QoS support in multimedia wireless networks
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2010 , Article)
Next generation wireless communication systems, including 3G and 4G technologies, are envisaged to support more mobile users and a variety of high-bandwidth multimedia services. Different multimedia services have diverse ...
Towards NLP-based Semi-automatic Preparation of Content for Language Learning using LingoSnacks m-Learning Platform
(
Institute of information System and Research Center (IISRC)
, 2013 , Article)
Vocabulary growth is an important element for language learning but it requires repeated and varied exposure to the new words and their usage in different context. However preparing suitable learning content for effective ...
