A multi-objective genetic algorithm model for time-cost trade-off analysis of construction projects
(
Civil-Comp Press
, 2006 , Conference Paper)
Time-cost trade-off analysis is one of the most important aspects of construction project planning and control. There are trade-offs between time and cost to complete the activities of a project. Existing methods for ...
Planning post-disaster reconstruction efforts of damaged transportation networks
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2009 , Conference Paper)
Planning, Reconstruction Efforts, Transportation, Network Analysis. Planning the reconstruction efforts of damaged transportation networks in the aftermath of natural disasters is a challenging task due to the limited ...
Performance of relay-assisted soft handover
(
IEEE
, 2009 , Conference Paper)
This paper examines the effect of relay-assisted soft handover on the performance of the uplink communication in the third generation mobile networks. We focus on users which are traveling over two cell boundaries in a ...
Average ber of multihop communication systems over fading channels
(
IEEE
, 2003 , Conference Paper)
Multihop transmission is a way to attain broader coverage by splitting the communication link from the source to the destination into several, possibly shorter links/hops. This paper presents an expression for the moment ...
Development of a remote lab for electrical engineering program
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2009 , Conference Paper)
A remote lab for electrical engineering experiments has been designed and implemented. This has been intended as a platform that supports existing traditional labs by offering lab experiments that serve some of the student ...
Performance enhancement of relay-assisted communications via binary feedback
(
IEEE
, 2004 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes a modified two-hop wireless communication system and studies its performance. The modified system has a reliable feedback channel that carries a binary signal from the receiver to inform the transmitter ...
Research in undergraduate education at Qatar University: EE department experience
(
IEEE
, 2007 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents the research efforts taking place at Qatar University, the only national university in Qatar. Being a teaching institute, conducting research faces many challenges. The paper focuses on the experience ...
On the capacity of cooperative diversity systems with adaptive modulation
(
IEEE
, 2005 , Conference Paper)
In recent years, cooperative diversity systems have gained increased attention in the literature as a new way of combating the effect of signal fading. In this paper, we investigate the performance of these systems when ...
User cooperation schemes in the soft handover regions
(
IEEE
, 2009 , Conference Paper)
This paper examines the effect of relay-assisted soft handover on the performance of the uplink communication in the third generation mobile networks. We focus on users which are traveling over two cell boundaries in a ...
Power loading algorithms for SEC diversity schemes
(
IEEE
, 2007 , Conference Paper)
Switch and Examine Combing (SEC) diversity scheme is one of the simplest diversity schemes to combat fading. When the power used for probing the channels in this scheme is fixed, it can be higher than what is actually ...
