Network failures happen frequently. There is a need for recovery mechanisms to reduce service interruption. Recovery mechanismsâ¿¿ advantages and disadvantages are described extensively based on their characteristics and ...

This paper proposes a new addressing scheme for personal area and sensor networks with Zigbee. The method is based on arithmetic series and avoids address duplication and wastage. Problems associated with skip distance ...

This paper introduces a new framework of establishing trust in Wireless Sensor Networks based on the quality of services characteristics expected to be fulfilled by nodes. A new algorithm of calculating trust values ...

Cooling systems in buildings are required to be more energy-efficient while maintaining the standard air quality. The aim of this paper is to explore the potential of reducing the energy consumption of a central air-conditioned ...

The optimal beamforming for cognitive multicast transmission is a nonconvex rank-one constrained optimization problem. For a solution, a popular method is the combination of relaxed convex semi-definite programming, where ...

The integration of diverse but complementary cellular and wireless technologies in the next generation wireless networks requires the design of intelligent vertical handoff decision algorithms to enable mobile users equipped ...

This paper reports on preliminary research on food sensing based on evaluation of the electrical properties of food materials at radio frequencies with a focus on determining the quality and life time of the food materials ...

In this paper, we propose Bayesian filtering technique for continuous-time dynamical models with sampled-data measurements using the linear fractional transformation (LFT) model which transforms the nonlinear state space ...
