Fractional low order cyclostationary-based spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks
(
Springer Verlag
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we study the problem of cyclostationary spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks based on cyclic properties of linear modulations. For this purpose, we use fractional order of observations in cyclic ...
Efficient datacenter resource utilization through cloud resource overcommitment
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
We propose an efficient resource allocation framework for overcommitted clouds that makes great energy savings by 1) minimizing PM overloads via resource usage prediction, and 2) reducing the number of active PMs via ...
Distributed fair spectrum assignment for large-scale wireless DSA networks
(
Springer Verlag
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes a distributed and fair resource allocation scheme for large-scale wireless dynamic spectrum access networks based on particle filtering theory. We introduce a proportionally fair global objective function ...
The impact of authentic complex engineering design experience for k-12 students on 21st century attributes and perceptions towards STEM fields (Evaluation, Strand 3)
(
American Society for Engineering Education
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Recent studies showed that embedding engineering at K-12 level has a positive impact on stimulating interest in- and improving learning outcomes of science and mathematics, and development of 21st Century skills. Engineering ...
Millimeter-wave multimedia communications: Challenges, methodology, and applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
The worldwide opening of a massive amount of unlicensed millimeter-wave spectrum has triggered great interest in developing high-bit-rate multimedia services and applications. Specific challenges for mmWave communication ...
Optimization of collaborative spectrum sensing with limited time resource
(
Springer Verlag
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, Cognitive Radios (CRs) collaborate in spectrum sensing to detect random signals corrupted by Gaussian noise. Our analysis is based on a limited time resource assumption. This implies that the time resource ...
Hardware acceleration of a dielectrophoresis system for achieving a single-neuron-per-electrode arrangement in microelectrode arrays
(
UK Simulation Society
, 2015 , Article)
This paper describes an image processing algorithm and its efficient architecture. The proposed architecture is used to process images of microelectrode arrays (MEAs) and micro-wells captured by a microscope camera in a ...
A novel mechanism for restoring actor connected coverage in wireless sensor and actor networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Provisioning network survivability is especially crucial in wireless sensor and actor network (WSAN) because nodes deployed in hostile environments are prone to frequent failures. Failure of an actor significantly impact ...
Interference cancellation through interference alignment for downlink of cognitive cellular networks
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2015 , Article)
Interference cancellation through interference alignment (IA) at the downlink of cognitive cellular networks is proposed. IA helps the spatial resources to be shared among primary and secondary cells, and thus it can provide ...
Enhancement of the extracted maximum power of PV array during partial shading using switched PV-based system
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes a switched PV approach to enhance the extracted maximum power from PV array during partial shading condition. The proposed system is simple and cost effective. However, it may provide lower power ...
