Application of Samarium- and Terbium-Sensitized Luminescence via a Multivariate-Based Approach for the Determination of Orbifloxacin
( Hindawi , 2022 , Article)A lanthanide-based optical sensor has been developed for the sensitive and reliable spectrofluorometric determination of the fluoroquinolone antibiotic orbifloxacin (ORLX). Reaction of ORLX and two lanthanide metal ions, ... -
Cooperative cognitive relaying under primary and secondary quality of service satisfaction
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2014 , Conference)This paper proposes a new cooperative protocol which involves cooperation between primary and secondary users. We consider a cognitive setting with one primary user (PU) and multIPle secondary users (SUs). The time resource ... -
Energy-efficient cooperative relaying protocol for full-duplex cognitive radio users and delay-aware primary users
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2015 , Conference)This paper considers a network in which a primary user (PU) may cooperate with a cognitive radio (CR) user for transmission of its data packets. The PU is assumed to be a buffered terminal operating in a time-slotted ... -
Exploiting sparsity of relay-assisted cognitive radio networks
( IEEE , 2015 , Conference)We propose a novel protocol for secondary users based on compressive sensing principles. The secondary user assigned to one of the primary frequency bands is aided by a set of nearby secondary users, which we refer to as ... -
Impact of the Wireless Network's PHY Security and Reliability on Demand-Side Management Cost in the Smart Grid
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2017 , Article)We investigate the impact of the wireless network's physical layer (PHY) security and reliability on demand-side management operation in the smart grid. We assume that consumers communicate their energy demands with the ... -
Maximum Secondary Stable Throughput of a Cooperative Secondary Transmitter-Receiver Pair: Protocol Design and Stability Analysis
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2016 , Conference)In this paper, we investigate the impact of cooperation between a secondary transmitter-receiver pair and a primary transmitter on the maximum stable throughput of the primary-secondary network. Each transmitter, either ... -
Maximum throughput of a cooperative energy harvesting cognitive radio user
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2014 , Conference)In this paper, we investigate the maximum throughput of a saturated rechargeable secondary user (SU) sharing the spectrum with a primary user (PU). The SU harvests energy packets (tokens) from the environment with a certain ... -
Maximum throughput of a secondary user cooperating with an energy-aware primary user
( IEEE Computer Society , 2014 , Conference)This paper proposes a cooperation protocol between a secondary user (SU) and a primary user (PU) which dedicates a free frequency subband for the SU if cooperation results in energy saving. Time is slotted and users are ... -
On orthogonal band allocation for multiuser multiband cognitive radio networks: Stability analysis
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2015 , Article)In this work, we study the problem of band allocation of Mi buffered (i.e., with data queues capable of storing incoming traffic packets) secondary users (SUs) to Mp primary frequency bands licensed to (owned by) Mp buffered ... -
On the delay/throughput-security tradeoff in wiretap TDMA networks with buffered nodes
( IEEE , 2019 , Article)In this paper, we investigate the tradeoff between security and throughput and between security and queuing delay in wiretap time-division multiple access (TDMA) networks. We derive a simple relationship, characterized by ... -
On the Design of a Relay-Assisted Network
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2015 , Article)A relay network composed of a source, a set of relays, and a destination is considered. A queueing framework is proposed, in which each node maintains a buffer to store its incoming traffic. An optimization-based formulation ... -
Potato Peels as an Adsorbent for Heavy Metals from Aqueous Solutions: Eco-Structuring of a Green Adsorbent Operating Plackett-Burman Design
