( De Gruyter Mouton , 2021 , Book chapter)This chapter examines the sporting context in the MENA region, and the role of media coverage in mobilizing narratives around sport performance, in the construction of collective imagination framed around national unity, ... -
A framework for antecedents of trust in social commerce
( Inderscience Publishers , 2018 , Article)Trust is essential in social commerce environment, where consumers rely on feedback and advice that they collect from social platforms. Despite the importance of trust in virtual environments, there are a limited number ... -
A survey on communication infrastructure for micro-grids
(2013 , Conference Paper)A micro-grid is a small scale power supply network that is designed to provide electricity to a small community with its own renewable energy sources. Due to distributed generation variability, security and load sharing ... -
All-to-all throughput maximization in wireless relay networks with multiple packet reception
(2012 , Conference Paper)Network Coding (NC) has shown the promise of significant throughput improvement to wireless networks. Meanwhile, Multiple Packet Reception (MPR) has been proved as an efficient way to combat the Multiple Access Interference ... -
Cognitive transmission based on data priority classification in WSNs for Smart Grid
(2012 , Conference Paper)Smart Grid integrates digital processing, sensor technology, automatic control and communication to the traditional power grid to achieve more efficient electricity distribution and management. Applying wireless sensor ... -
Delay minimization through joint routing and resource allocation in cognitive radio-based mesh networks
( IEEE , 2012 , Conference Paper)We consider wireless mesh networks in which the nodes are utilizing cognitive radios and try to opportunistically gain access to spectrum resources. In such networks, the timely delivery of the traffic is a challenging ... -
Editorial: Machine Learning, Advances in Computing, Renewable Energy and Communication (MARC)
( Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH , 2022 , Conference Paper)Machine learning (ML) is the subcategory of artificial intelligence (AI), which has the capability to imitate human behavior intelligently as per the task performed by the human. In the modern time, any organization ... -
Efficient and fair Wi-Fi and LTE-U coexistence via communications over content centric networking
( Elsevier B.V. , 2020 , Article)With the increasingly huge mobile traffic, numerous mobile operators try to seek some ways to alleviate the situation, such as expanding the LTE (Long Term Evolution) system into unlicensed spectrums. However, LTE-U (LTE ... -
Exploring the influence of cultural orientations on assessment of communication behaviours during patient-practitioner interactions
( BioMed Central Ltd. , 2017 , Article)Background Research has shown that patients’ and practitioners’ cultural orientations affect communication behaviors and interpretations in cross-cultural patient-practitioner interactions. Little is known about the effect ... -
From global to local: Investigation of necessary engineering skills for KBE transformation in Qatar in the context of global engineering attributes
( IEEE , 2013 , Conference Paper)this paper provides the findings of a study on investigating the required contextual engineering skills in Qatar in light of the global engineering skills. A set of 20 attributes were identified in the literature, and ... -
Impact of location heterogeneity on random walk mobility models
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2013 , Conference Paper)This paper investigates random walk mobility models with location heterogeneity, where different locations may have different neighboring regions.With the assumption of totally n locations, we consider two cases, i.e., ... -
Interference management schemes with general order statistics and interference constraint for multi-user cooperative wireless networks
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2013 , Conference Paper)In this paper, two cooperative communications schemes with interference management are proposed for multiuser wireless networks. The first scheme (Interference Constraint based Relay Selection (ICRS)) maximizes the received ... -
Mode selection schemes for D2D enabled unmanned aerial vehicle-based wireless networks
( Institution of Engineering and Technology , 2019 , Article)In this study, the authors present and evaluate the performance of two mode selection schemes for device-to-device (D2D) enabled unmanned aerial vehicle-based wireless networks. The proposed schemes are based on a threshold ... -
Optimum power and rate allocation in video sensor networks
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2013 , Conference Paper)In a sensor network, each sensor has a limited energy supply. Therefore, it is critical to minimize the power consumed by each sensor to maximize its lifetime. Video sensor networks differ from conventional sensor networks ... -
Outage performance of cooperative systems under IQ imbalance
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2014 , Article)In this contribution, we investigate the outage performance of OFDM-based Decode and Forward (DF), Amplify and Forward (AF) and Controlled DF (CDF) cooperative systems under IQ Imbalance (IQI). In particular, tractable and ... -
