A New NOMA-Based Two-Way Relaying Scheme
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2023 , Article)
Two-Way Relaying (TWR) has been widely investigated in the literature as an efficient relaying scheme for dual-hop cooperative transmissions. In TWR, two nodes exchange data through an intermediate relay, where both nodes ...
IoTShare: A Blockchain-Enabled IoT Resource Sharing On-Demand Protocol for Smart City Situation-Awareness Applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2020 , Article)
We propose a blockchain-based, distributed protocol for enabling the deployment of Internet-of-Things (IoT) networks on-demand on top of IoT devices. Specifically, the proposed protocol leverages blockchain technology to: ...
Optimized handover strategy with hybrid satisfaction mechanisms
(
Springer
, 2015 , Article)
One of the key features of cellular systems is the possibility to switch the connection over several cells while the user is moving. This handover between cells has been upgraded to tackle different operator/users' objectives, ...
An Energy Saving Strategy for LTE-A Multiantenna Systems
(
Springer
, 2015 , Article)
Long Term Evolution - Advanced (LTE-A) supports closed-loop Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) techniques to improve its performance, but in order to exploit multiuser (MU) MIMO channel capabilities, the design of an ...

(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
The upsurge of smart devices has enabled the realization of safe, efficient smart cities that improve the quality of life of their citizens. A prevalent class of smart city services that are attracting increasing attention ...
A Survey on Demand Response Programs in Smart Grids: Pricing Methods and Optimization Algorithms
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
The smart grid concept continues to evolve and various methods have been developed to enhance the energy efficiency of the electricity infrastructure. Demand Response (DR) is considered as the most cost-effective and ...
Quality Estimation for Scarce Scenarios within Mobile Crowdsensing Systems
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2020 , Article)
Mobile crowdsensing (MCS) is a paradigm that exploits the presence of a crowd of moving human participants to acquire, or generate, data from their environment. As a part of the Internet-of-Things (IoT) paradigm, MCS serves ...
Device-to-device Communications at the Terahertz Band: Open Challenges for Realistic Implementation
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2023 , Article)
One of the key parameters that plays a major role in enabling the data rate requirements is spectrum or bandwidth, which is scarce and expensive. Therefore, spectrum management policies are required to optimize its usage ...
Experimental Delay Tests in Causal THz Channel Model
(
Springer
, 2024 , Article)
In traditional radio propagation, the arrival time of the signal at the receiver from the transmitter is the propagation delay, which is given by the distance divided by the light speed, in the line of sight (LoS) scenario. ...
Recent progress in reverse osmosis modeling: An overview
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
The increasing worldwide demand for freshwater production requires new and sustainable processes to overcome the shortage of clean water. Reverse osmosis (RO) is regarded as the most efficient type of desalination technology ...
