In this paper, a fractional-order recurrent neural network is proposed and several topics related to the dynamics of such a network are investigated, such as the stability, Hopf bifurcations, and undamped oscillations. The stability domain of the trivial steady state is completely characterized with respect to network parameters and orders of the commensurate-order neural network. […]
Read moreExisting research has demonstrated that inter-body sensor network (inter-BSN) information sharing among coexisting BSNs can enhance applications’ performance and save energy. However, how to achieve effective inter-BSN information sharing through wireless communication is a challenging task. On one hand, a BSN should be able to discover neighboring BSNs and establish inter-BSN links with Quality of […]
Read moreAbnormalities in sensed data streams indicate the spread of malicious attacks, hardware failure and software corruption among the different nodes in a wireless sensor network. These factors of node infection can affect generated and incoming data streams resulting in high chances of inaccurate data, misleading packet translation, wrong decision making and severe communication disruption. This […]
Read moreIn this paper, we consider the problem of distributed parameter estimation in imperfect environments for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). By imperfect environments, we refer to distortions that can be caused by sensor noise, quantization noise and channel effect. A novel statistical model is proposed to quantify these errors in WSNs. The first and second order […]
Read moreIn a cognitive radio network (CRN), two nodes have a rendezvous when they tune to the same channel simultaneously. Providing rendezvous guarantee between any pair of nodes is essential because a rendezvous is necessary for communication. Some existing works claim that rendezvous guarantee can be provided by using a dedicated common control channel to negotiate […]
Read moreWe propose an efficient parallel Gauss-Seidel (GS) iterative algorithm for solving large systems of linear equations on a 3-dimensional torus network-on-chip (NoC) architecture. The proposed parallel algorithm is O(Nn2/k3) time complexity for solving a system with matrix of order n on a k×k×k 3D torus NoC architecture with N iterations assuming n and N are […]

To reach the video bandwidth requirements on the supply paths, power amplifiers with dynamic bias schemes are constrained to reduce the values of the low-frequency (LF) decoupling capacitors on their bias lines. This can entail a decrease of the LF stability margins, among other negative effects. In this work, a methodology is proposed to experimentally […]
Read moreThe automatic recognition of sound events by computers is an important aspect of emerging applications such as automated surveillance, machine hearing and auditory scene understanding. Recent advances in machine learning, as well as in computational models of the human auditory system, have contributed to advances in this increasingly popular research field. Robust sound event classification, […]
Read moreWe demonstrate a cross-layer orchestration for packet service over IP-optical networks, in terms of availability and elasticity. Our orchestration built over the SDN concept self-adjusts and cost-efficiently responds to dynamics on network paths, impairments/failures, and topology.
Read moreOptimal Stochastic Coordinated Beamforming for Wireless Cooperative Networks With CSI Uncertainty
Transmit optimization and resource allocation for wireless cooperative networks with channel state information (CSI) uncertainty are important but challenging problems in terms of both the uncertainty modeling and performance optimization. In this paper, we establish a generic stochastic coordinated beamforming (SCB) framework that provides flexibility in the channel uncertainty modeling, while guaranteeing optimality in the […]
