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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
Interest-determining web browser
(2010 , Conference Paper)
This paper investigates the application of data-mining techniques on a user's browsing history for the purpose of determining the user's interests. More specifically, a system is outlined that attempts to determine certain ...
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 ...
Preparing and educating the Arab Qatari engineer of 2030
(
American Society for Engineering Education
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
This paper addresses the issue of adapting Engineering Education to a changing situation in Qatar, a small country that is part of the Arab Gulf Cooperation Council. It presents the framework for a national project planned ...
A hybridized genetic algorithm for cost estimation in bridge maintenance systems
(2010 , Conference Paper)
A hybridized genetic algorithm is proposed to determine a repair schedule for a network of bridges. The schedule aims for the lowest overall cost while maintaining each bridge at satisfactory quality conditions. Appreciation, ...
New voltage regulation techniques for low voltage radial feed PWM inverter based distributed networks
(2010 , Conference Paper)
Grid voltage rise problems occur, especially at light loads, due to the proliferation of distributed generation. Two techniques are proposed for regulating the voltage in low voltage radial networks when inverter based ...
Reed-Solomon coding for cooperative wireless communication
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
During the last few years, several authors have studied the performance of many different types of channel codes for cooperative communication systems. Some of these codes include Low Density Parity Check (LDPC), Turbo and ...
Exact capture probability analysis of GSC receivers over Rayleigh fading channel
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
For third generation systems and ultrawideband systems, RAKE receivers have been introduced due to the advantage of RAKE receivers which is their ability to combine different replicas of the transmitted signal arriving at ...
