Exploiting sparsity of relay-assisted cognitive radio networks
(
IEEE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
We propose a novel protocol for secondary users based on compressive sensing principles. The secondary user assigned to one of the primary frequency bands is aided by a set of nearby secondary users, which we refer to as ...
A multi-parameter based vertical handover decision scheme for M2M communications in HetMANET
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication has the potential to connect millions of devices in the near future. Since they agree on this potential, several standard organizations need to focus on improved general architecture ...
Visible light-driven metal-oxide photocatalytic CO2 conversion
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
In this work, nine photocatalysts were prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, surface area measurements based ...
On the effect of proportional fairness in energy transfer for wireless powered communication networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Wireless powered communication network (WPCN) is an emerging area of research where energy is transferred from the access point to the mobile terminals in the downlink and information is transferred in the uplink. In the ...
A predictive control approach for fault management of computing systems
(
Association for Computing Machinery
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a model-based predictive control approach for fault management in computing systems is presented. The proposed approach can incorporate existing fault diagnosis methods and fault recovery actions to facilitate ...
Exploiting Client-Side Collected Measurements to Perform QoS Assessment of IaaS
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
Delivering reliable service offerings to clients remain a challenging aspect in today's cloud infrastructure. A broad number of research studies have undertaken the service evaluation process from one side; that is, the ...
On the synergistic benefits of alternating CSIT for X channel within a four-symbol channel extension
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we investigate the degrees of freedom (DoF) of the two-user single input single output (SISO) X channel with alternating channel state information at the transmitters (CSIT). Three cases are considered for ...
Joint user-channel assignment for efficient use of renewable energy in hybrid powered communication systems
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we introduce a new green resource allocation problem using hybrid powering of the communication system from renewable and non-renewable sources. The objective is to efficiently allocate the power delivered ...
Kinetics and thermodynamics of enhanced adsorption of the dye AR 18 using activated carbons prepared from walnut and poplar woods
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Activated carbons prepared from walnut and poplar woods are used as economical adsorbents for the rapid removal and fast adsorption of Acid Red 18 dye from the aqueous solutions; the kinetics, isotherm and thermodynamics ...
Recommendations on renewable energy policies for the GCC countries
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article Review)
Energy security was the major driver for several countries in the world to opt for alternative sources of energy and reduce CO2 emissions. Being blessed with oil and gas reserves, the situation in the Gulf Cooperation ...
