Optimization of collaborative spectrum sensing with limited time resource
(
Springer Verlag
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, Cognitive Radios (CRs) collaborate in spectrum sensing to detect random signals corrupted by Gaussian noise. Our analysis is based on a limited time resource assumption. This implies that the time resource ...
A novel mechanism for restoring actor connected coverage in wireless sensor and actor networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Provisioning network survivability is especially crucial in wireless sensor and actor network (WSAN) because nodes deployed in hostile environments are prone to frequent failures. Failure of an actor significantly impact ...
Enhancement of the extracted maximum power of PV array during partial shading using switched PV-based system
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes a switched PV approach to enhance the extracted maximum power from PV array during partial shading condition. The proposed system is simple and cost effective. However, it may provide lower power ...
Simple voltage regulation method for smart grid applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The complexity of power systems and the change of demand load at the consumer make it necessary to control the voltage to avoid any unnecessary voltage drop beyond the limits allowed within the international standards and ...
SFET-based multiple antenna spectrum sensing using the second order moments of eigenvalues
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we propose a new detector for multiantenna spectrum sensing in cognitive radios (CR) by exploiting the Separating Function Estimation Test (SFET) framework. Specifically, we consider a blind scenario for ...
An analytic network process condition assessment model for sewer pipelines
(
Civil-Comp Press
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
As sewer pipelines age, the need for their upgrading, maintaining, and repairing arises. Simultaneously, inadequate sewer pipelines might lead to catastrophic failures. Thus, decision makers must have a detailed knowledge ...
Centralized-decentralized RB allocation based on genetic algorithm and coordination over X2 interface in LTE uplink
(
VDE Verlag GmbH
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we present a method for resource block allocation for the LTE uplink system. It aims to minimize the inter-cell interference and maximize the channel capacity. The genetic algorithm is used to come up with ...
WFlatnet: Introducing wireless in flatnet data center network
(
IEEE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The basic challenge of data centers is how to interconnect a huge number of servers while guaranteeing the performance of the network. Flatnet is a promising data center architecture that has proved its efficiency to connect ...
Implementation of iterative learning control based deadtime compensation for PWM inverters
(
IEEE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Deadtime effects in PWM inverters are nonlinear and depend on the switching frequency of the inverters and the types of power devices, snubber circuits, and loads. Several deadtime compensation methods were proposed in the ...
Geometrical approach for wind farm symmetrical layout design optimization
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Wind farm layout orientation plays an important factor to reduce the total wake loss and hence increase the capacity factor of the wind farm. Different wind farms layout design optimization techniques are widely used and ...
