To eliminate network saturation during data exchanges, fog computing is deployed as the technology that benefits from both cloud computing and internet of things (IoT) paradigms. Therefore, we focus on network access control ...
Effect of cerium doping on the optical and photocatalytic properties of ZnO nanoflowers
(
Indian Academy of Sciences
, 2019 , Article)
Photocatalytic performances of the synthesized cerium doped (Ce-doped) ZnO nanoflowers are reported in this work. A microwave-assisted sol–gel method is adopted for the synthesis of the nanomaterial and its structural and ...
Estimation of highly selective channels for downlink LTE system by a robust neural network
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
In this paper we propose a robust channel estimator for Long Term Evolution (LTE) downlink highly selective using neural network. This method uses the information provided by the reference signals to estimate the total ...
