Cognitive relaying in wireless sensor networks: Performance analysis and optimization
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
The anticipated increase in the density of the deployed wireless sensor networks calls for spectrum sharing through unlicensed access to licensed spectrum. The key technology for spectrum sharing in this scenario is cognitive ...
A signal combining technique based on channel shortening for cooperative sensor networks
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
The cooperative relaying process needs proper coordination among the communicating and the relaying nodes. This coordination and the required capabilities may not be available in some wireless systems, e.g. wireless sensor ...
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 ...
Performance analysis of best relay selection scheme for amplify-and-forward cooperative networks in identical Nakagami-m channels
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
In cooperative communication networks, the use of multiple relays between the source and the destination was proposed to increase the diversity gain. Since the source and all the relays must transmit on orthogonal channels, ...
Sequential random selection relaying for energy efficient wireless sensor networks
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
In a wireless sensor network with relaying capability, intermediate relay nodes are with limited energy budget. To maximize lifetime of relay nodes, selective relay strategies, requiring full channel state information ...
Mobile wireless sensor networks applied to the survey of water infrastructures
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
The paper reports our last advances in the realization of mobile wireless sensor networks (WSNs), able to reveal unknown tracks and leakages within underground pipelines used to distribute water. This WSN technology is ...
Sensor network architecture for deployment over low voltage powerlines
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents the design and implementation of an efficient sensor network (SN) over standard powerlines. As an application of the proposed SN, a home security and surveillance system was designed and implemented. ...
