A novel peak search & save cyclostationary feature detection algorithm
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Spectrum sensing is a key task in any cognitive radio network. On the other hand, a literature survey in this topic shows a lack of implementation and testbeds for spectrum sensing techniques. In this paper, we plot the ...
Underlay cognitive radio: What is the impact of carrier aggregation and relaying on throughput?
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we investigate joint relay selection and optimal power allocation, as a means to maximize the achievable rate of an underlay cooperative cognitive radio with carrier aggregation, taking into account the ...
Protocol design and stability analysis of cooperative cognitive radio users
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
A single cognitive radio transmitter-receiver pair shares the spectrum with two primary users communicating with their respective receivers. Each primary user has a local traffic queue, whereas the cognitive user has three ...
Multi-objective model predictive control for grid-tied 15-level packed U cells inverter
(
IEEE
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a multi-objective Model Predictive Control (MPC) for grid-tied 4-cell 15-level Packed U Cells (PUC) inverter. This challenging topology is characterized by high power quality with reduced number of ...
Enhanced Energy Extraction from a Solar Panel
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Due the movement of the sun throughout the day, the insolation level incident on the fixed panel surface varies largely. The maximum level of insolation occurs only around noon. This leads to the panel to be under-utilised. ...
Fast Prototyping of KNN Based Gas Discrimination System on the Zynq SoC
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Electronic noses (EN) or machine olfaction are systems used for the detection and identification of odorous compounds and gas mixtures. The accuracy of such systems is as important as the processing time. Therefore, the ...
Transformer-less Grid-Connected High-Voltage Marx Pulse Generator with Unity Power Factor for Domestic Drinking Water Disinfection
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Qatar has no rivers, thus the main natural water resource in Qatar is the groundwater table. The average groundwater recharge from rainfall is approximately 55.9 million m3/year, in addition to 2.2 million m3/year inflow ...
Environmentally Powered Smart Sensor Nodes in a Mesh Network Topology for Air Quality Diagnostic
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Background & Objective: Air pollution is a major problem that has been recognised throughout the world for hundreds of years. In the middle ages, the burning of coal in cities released increasing amounts of smoke and sulphur ...
Reduced LPV Modeling and Control of a Solution Copolymerization Reactor
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Controlling the operation of polymer reactors is a highly important task that aims at maximizing the production rate and the product quality and also minimizing the transition losses due to the high consumer demands, as ...
A General Framework for Designing Sparse FIR MIMO Equalizers Based on Sparse Approximation
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In broadband communications, the long channel delay spread, defined as the duration in time, or samples, over which the channel impulse response (CIR) has significant energy, is too long and results in a highly-frequency-selective ...
