Cooperative Q-learning techniques for distributed online power allocation in femtocell networks
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
In this paper, we address the problem of distributed interference management of femtocells that share the same frequency band with macrocells using distributed multi-agent Q-learning. We formulate and solve two problems ...
Designing Decision Support Systems for Humanitarian Organisations
(
John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
, 2015 , Book chapter)
The first step to ensure the success of applications in a specific field consists in producing a complete and representative model of the studied system. This alignment with reality is not easy to achieve though. This is ...
Stochastic learning automata-based channel selection in cognitive radio/dynamic spectrum access for WiMAX networks
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
This paper proposes a cognitive radio-based dynamic bandwidth allocation scheme for secondary users in a cluster-based WiMAX network. It uses a learning automata-based algorithm to find the optimal transmission channel, ...
Security and privacy in emerging networks: Part 1 [Guest Editorial]
(
IEEE
, 2015 , Article)
With the recent advancements in networking technologies, some new emerging networks are being implemented that have the potential to be deployed broadly and on a large scale in the near future. In the wired domain, these ...
An energy-efficient distributed clustering algorithm for heterogeneous WSNs
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2015 , Article)
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) were envisaged to become the fabric of our environment and society. However, they are yet unable to surmount many operational challenges such as limited network lifetime, which strangle their ...
An Attack-Resistant Trust Model Based on Multidimensional Trust Metrics in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
Underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs) have been widely used in many applications where a variable number of sensor nodes collaborate with each other to perform monitoring tasks. A trust model plays an important role ...
A Fatigue Measuring Protocol for Wireless Body Area Sensor Networks
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2015 , Article)
As players and soldiers preform strenuous exercises and do difficult and tiring duties, they are usually the common victims of muscular fatigue. Keeping this in mind, we propose FAtigue MEasurement (FAME) protocol for ...
Maximizing Energy Efficiency in Multiple Access Channels by Exploiting Packet Dropping and Transmitter Buffering
(
IEEE
, 2015 , Article)
Quality of service (QoS) for a network is characterized in terms of various parameters specifying packet delay and loss tolerance requirements for the application. The unpredictable nature of the wireless channel demands ...
Implementation and Analysis of Reward Functions under Different Traffic Models for Distributed DSA Systems
(
IEEE
, 2015 , Article)
In this paper, we implement and analyze a resource allocation protocol for distributed dynamic spectrum allocation (DSA) systems. The DSA protocol is a learning-based protocol that allows secondary users (SU) to exploit ...
ARCS-based tactics to improve students' motivation in computer programming course
(
IEEE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Most students find computer programming difficult subject, which frustrates them and affects their performance. In this paper, we present our experience of using ARCS model to improve students' motivation when learning ...
