In the harsh environment where node density is sparse, the slow-moving nodes cannot effectively utilize the encountering opportunities to realize the self-organized identity authentications, and do not have the chance to join the network routing. However, considering most of the communications in opportunistic networks are caused by forwarding operations, there is no need to establish […]
Read moreDynamic control over real and reactive power flow is one of the key areas of concern for the modern grid. Traditional FACTS-based devices have proven to be too costly and complex to achieve any significant market penetration. Modifying existing transmission assets to make them controllable may be a cost-effective method of increasing the grid controllability. […]
Read moreThis Wireless communication is a key technology to improve mobility and service flexibility for different e-health applications such as remote patient monitoring, telemedicine, mobile hospital information system, etc. However, due to the increasing number of wireless devices, in near future wireless healthcare services may face challenges on medical band and electromagnetic interferences (EMI) to biomedical […]
Read moreIn this paper the design and simulation results of a full-duplex FSO communication link (500 meters) at 800 Mbps with coherent detection and polarization multiplexing is presented. In order to use a single optical system in the full-duplex scheme, subsystems of transmitter and receiver in each location was used.
Read moreIn some specific applicable scenarios, nodes are placed in some geographical areas and limited to move in their own community. We investigate the tradeoff between the delivery delay and the number of transmissions in the above multi-community delay tolerant networks by propagating a data packet in a carefully chosen segment of community. First, three restricted […]
Read moreIn 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 […]
