Innovative ad-hoc wireless sensor networks to significantly reduce leakages in underground water infrastructures
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents an ICT solution to overcome the problem of water dispersion in water distribution networks. Leakage prevention and breaks identification in water distribution networks are fundamental for an adequate ...
Relay selection for cooperative underwater acoustic communication systems
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we consider a multi-carrier and multi-relay underwater acoustic communication (UWAC) system and investigate the relay selection problem. Our channel model is built on an aggregation of both large-scale path ...
Contributions of competition based complex engineering design experience to leadership development in engineering students
(
American Society for Engineering Education
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Engineering design activities provide students an opportunity to develop a number of skills. Engineering design experiences not only help students to acquire practical or technical skills, but also may enhance a number of ...
Modeling and analysis of an infrastructure service request queue in multichannel V2I communications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Article)
This paper presents a concise yet comprehensive description of a multichannel vehicle-to-infrastructure communication system. Existing mathematical models for such a system overlook some of its essential behavioral ...
Threshold-based relaying in coded cooperative networks
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Article)
In cooperative communications, error propagation at the relay nodes degrades the diversity order of the system. To combat that effect, we present a novel technique to control error propagation at the relays, which is ...
Inter-relay interference management schemes for wireless multi-user decode-and-forward relay networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
In this paper, two cooperative communications schemes with inter-relay interference (IRI) management are proposed for wireless multi-user decode-and-forward (DF) relay networks. The schemes are based on a DF half-duplex ...
Beyond the walls of the school: Risk factors and children and youth in the Gulf
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Article)
UNESCO has reported that progress on the Education For All movement has been slow in the Arab world, including the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council. The low levels of achievement on national and international ...
Performance analysis of relay selection schemes in underlay cognitive networks with imperfect channel state information
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Cognitive Radio (CR) aims to improve spectrum utilization by allowing unlicensed users to access the licensed spectrum and to coexist with primary user (PU) while respecting the PU's restrictions. An interesting case to ...
Two way opportunistic MAC protocol for Ad Hoc networks
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, network coding is introduced in relay based MAC protocols for bidirectional traffic to evaluate the performance in terms of throughput and energy. The idea of proposed scheme is to use high data rate nodes ...
Skills of engineers in knowledge based economies: A comprehensive literature review, and model development
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Recent studies emphasize the needs of a wider set of skills engineers require than ever thought. In this paper, authors report on a systematic literature review on this issue. Findings of the review are spanned over two ...
