Sparsity-cognizant multiple-access schemes for large wireless networks with node buffers
(
IEEE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes efficient multiple-access schemes for large wireless networks based on the transmitters' buffer state information and their transceivers' duplex transmission capability. First, we investigate the case ...
Utilizing international design competitions for enhancing 21st century engineering skills: The experience of shell Eco-Marathon
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Nurturing design skills in students is in the heart of all engineering curricula. While academic courses and capstone activities inject the design process in students, involvement in practical design activities is believed ...
Blind SNR Estimation of Gaussian-Distributed Signals in Nakagami Fading Channels
(
IEEE
, 2015 , Article)
A blind (non-data-aided) SNR estimator using the statistical moments of the received signal is proposed. The proposed envelope-based non-data-aided estimator works for any time-domain Gaussian-distributed signal (e.g. OFDM ...
On the study of field uniformity inside jet engines
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, the field uniformity of axial electric field component inside an anisotropic jet engine environment is analyzed by using Ansys HFSS simulation tool. The standard deviation based approach is used for the ...
Control technique for enhancing the stable operation of distributed generation units within a microgrid
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
This paper describes a control technique for enhancing the stable operation of distributed generation (DG) units based on renewable energy sources, during islanding and grid-connected modes. The Passivity-based control ...
On the Design of a Relay-Assisted Network
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
A relay network composed of a source, a set of relays, and a destination is considered. A queueing framework is proposed, in which each node maintains a buffer to store its incoming traffic. An optimization-based formulation ...
Convolutional Neural Networks for patient-specific ECG classification
(
IEEE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
We propose a fast and accurate patient-specific electrocardiogram (ECG) classification and monitoring system using an adaptive implementation of 1D Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) that can fuse feature extraction and ...
A Monitoring Technique for Reversed Power Flow Detection with High PV Penetration Level
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
The integration of renewable energy resources (RESs) in power systems poses many research challenges. Research shows that the RES output may exceed the consumed power during the day. Consequently, the direction of the power ...
Performance-based prognosis scheme for industrial gas turbines
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we present a novel method for performance-based prognostics of industrial gas turbines. The concept of performance adaptation is implemented through a dynamic engine model that is developed in Matlab/Simulink ...
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the Sultanate of Oman
(
Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Worldwide, many countries are being affected by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The Sultanate of Oman is no exception. In Oman, both oil- and natural-gas-related activities have the most important shares of the nation's ...
