This paper describes an 802.15.6 compliant 2360-2484 MHz multiband transmitter that digitally multiplexes the appropriate phases from an 800 MHz poly-phase filter output to generate π/4 DQPSK signals at 2.4 GHz using injection locking. Modulation at one-third the RF frequency reduces the transmitter power consumption and enables channel selection using an integer-N PLL running at […]
Read moreTo design sufficiently reliable wireless body area network (WBAN) system for future health-care, channel modeling plays an important role. Especially from the viewpoint of antenna optimization, the channel modeling approach should be able to de-embed the antenna contribution to the channel response. Two modeling approaches using spherical wave functions (SWFs) and orthogonal dipoles (ODs) have […]
Read moreThis paper investigated the feasibility of using the radio signal strength of sensors placed around the human body in the human movement identification. This proposed method can identify the human movement in WBAN using only the radio signal strength, thus any additional tools are not necessary. OpenNICTA provides the BAN measurement channel in three kinds […]
Read moreIn this paper, we present a maximum likelihood (ML) based time synchronization algorithm for Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN). The proposed technique takes advantage of soft information retrieved from the soft demapper for the time delay estimation. This algorithm has a low complexity and is adapted to the frame structure specified by the IEEE 802.15.6 […]
Read moreIn this paper, we investigate the performance of HWMP, OLSR and DD protocols in a VANET crossroad scenario. The mobility patterns of vehicles are generated by means of SUMO (Simulation of Urban Mobility) and as communication protocol simulator is used NS3 (Network Simulator 3). For the simulations, we used IEEE 802.11p standard, Two Ray Ground […]
Read moreMessage dissemination is a key component of Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs). It enables the capability of Intelligent Transportation Systems to support safety and infotainment services for vehicles and people on travel. Dissemination in VANETs typically relies on the intelligent election of selected vehicles to act as relay nodes, a critical element that serves to […]
Read moreVehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) is an exponential growing technology in today’s modern computing era. Vehicle are peers of peer to peer network. All vehicles are having mobility. In this paper we have presented an evaluation of routing protocols AODV, DSDV and DSR on basis of test performance metrics like generated packets, received packets, dropped packets, […]
Read moreReal-time path planning can efficiently relieve traffic congestion in urban scenarios. However, how to design an efficient path-planning algorithm to achieve a globally optimal vehicle-traffic control still remains a challenging problem, particularly when we take drivers’ individual preferences into consideration. In this paper, we first establish a hybrid intelligent transportation system (ITS), i.e., a hybrid-VANET-enhanced […]
Read moreToday, off-line network planning tools are used to optimize transport networks from scratch. A set of pre-planned wavelength services is taken into account for routing optimization. Performing such optimization in an operational transport network may lead to the rerouting of a large amount of wavelengths per link followed by massive adjustments of optical power levels. […]
Read moreFRACTAL: A framework for recursive abstraction of SDN control-plane for large-scale production networks
Software-defined networking (SDN) renovates traditional networking systems by replacing a distributed, per-switch control plane with a (logically) centralized one. To design a scalable, highly available SDN control plane, it is inevitable to disseminate the network state to multiple instances horizontally by using measures like replication and partitioning. However, some recent studies reported that it is […]
