Underwater acoustic grid network is promising for providing high data rate and wide coverage service. For the scheduled time division multiple access (TDMA) protocols in the underwater acoustic grid networks, scheduling is an essential part to achieve reliable and energy efficient performance. Scheduling not only completely guarantees the interference free transmission in the network, but also makes...
In this work, a relay-selection scheme is proposed for underlay cognitive radio networks, with fixed and adaptive relaying power. The relay-selection and power allocation is based on the calculation of the log-likelihood ratio (LLR) value, calculated at each of the relay nodes available in the secondary network. No interference is caused to the primary network, through the satisfaction of a low power...
Bringing to the market intelligent vehicles is one of the current challenges faced by car manufacturers. These vehicles must be able to communicate in order to cooperate and be more effective. The issue of inter-vehicle communications is an active research topic. This paper proposes a reliable geographical broadcasting protocol which has a twofold goal: limiting the risk of interference and reducing...
Since radio links in wireless body area networks (WBANs) commonly experience highly time-varying attenuation due to topology instability, communication protocols with fixed transmission power cannot produce a very good performance in terms of energy consumption, interference range, and communication reliability. We explain that how channel behaviourcan be modelled using Markov Chain. Then, a power-adaptive...
To be able to efficiently utilize high data rates of 100 Gbit/s and beyond, protocols must be carefully selected for specific communication parameters. At the same time, communication parameters, such as data rate/latency requirements and the channel quality, are not static. This contradiction can be solved by switching to the best suited protocol when communicationparameters change. However, replacing...
Due to the ubiquitous presence of cellular networks and their exemplary success, they have been pushed forward to provide connectivity for Internet-of-things (IoT) applications with mass deployments of sensors and machines. Nevertheless, existing transmission protocols, e.g., orthogonal allocation or spectrum sharing, can be detrimental for both existing cellular users and IoT devices due to increased...
Emerging protocols for low-power wireless networks increasingly exploit constructive interference and the capture effect. The basic idea is that the synchronous transmission of identical packets by neighboring nodes leads to constructive interference - or at least do not cause destructive interference. This requires that the temporal displacement of packets at receiving nodes is lower than 0.5 μs...
LoRaWAN is emerging as an attractive network infrastructure for ultra low power Internet of Thing devices. Albeit the technology itself is quite mature and specified, how to effectively allocate wireless resources so as to support a large amount of devices in a same terrestrial area is an open challenge. This paper contributes by proposing two algorithms (of incremental complexity) which are shown...
We consider the scheduling problem for Aggregated ConvergeCast in wireless sensor networks with a physical interference model. Previous work consists of either heuristics without performance guarantees, or approximation algorithms which do not perform well in practice. We propose here a first scalable mathematical SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio) model that outputs an optimal Aggregated...
Energy efficiency has been a growing requirement in the latest development of wireless communication systems, and it has led to research on off-grid relay nodes with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) capabilities. Two SWIPT protocols have been developed in the past, named power splitting and time switching. Both protocols have been theoretically proven to improve energy-constrained...
Histotripsy is a new non-invasive therapy modality and can mechanically disintegrating target tissue for tumor treatment. In this study, we propose a strategy of dual frequency of fundamental and harmonic superimposition combined with hundred-microsecond-length pulses and two stages to get good use of the nonlinear regimes of enhanced cavitation and boiling. Confocal fundamental and harmonic superimposition...
Recently, cooperative communication has been used as a cost effective alternative to traditional MIMO systems. Even though cooperative relaying at the physical and/or MAC layer improves the performance of the network, it increases the level of interference in a multihop wireless network. In a multihop wireless adhoc network, the amount of interference created can be reduced by using power control...
In the communication process, when channel capacity is large enough, channel quality is decided by the wrong acceptance sequence of data packet due to channel interfere, communication limited and so on. This paper surveyed the effect of channel on data sequence reception. The simulation show the relationship between acceptance sequence and channel quality.
To realize a consensus problem based on wireless communications, it is necessary to consider several constraints caused by the natures of wireless communications such as communication error, coverage, capacity, multi-user interference, half-duplex and so on. This work focuses on half-duplex constraint and multi-user interference for a consensus problem and proposes a new Slotted-ALOHA that changes...
Previous studies have shown the WiFi, as the dominant last hop access to Internet, has become the weakest link in the round-trip network delay. Therefore it is critical to understand and minimize the WiFi interference in order to reduce the WiFi hop delay. For the first time in the literature, this paper defines an intuitive and accurate metric to quantify the impact of interference on each actual...
We consider the problem of reliable and minimal delay transmission in a wireless sensor network that uses time division in order to schedule its node-to-node communication in time-bounded manner. We propose an algorithm that uses the message acknowledgment method and solves this problem. We show bounds for its expected value of message delivery time. Moreover, our algorithm is based on simple state...
Cognitive heterogeneous cellular networks (CHCNs) and multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) are both promising technologies in the future network where wireless transmissions are inherently vulnerable to security breaches. Under an interference constraint set by the primary user, this study examines the impact of MU-MIMO technology on secure communication between cognitive base stations...
Information dissemination protocols for ad-hoc wireless networks frequently use a minimal subset of the available communication links, defining a rooted Broadcast Tree. In this work, we focus on the core challenge of disseminating from one layer to the next one of such tree. We call this problem Layer Dissemination. We study Layer Dissemination under a generalized model of interference, called Affectance...
In this work, we acknowledge the existence of the accumulation of the loopback self-interference when AF protocol is made used of in FDTW relaying and the channel estimation of the loopback channel is not done perfectly as will seen in the section to follow. The accumulation of the loopback self-interference comes from the functionality of FD antenna, which will bring back the transmitted signal to...
Interference forwarding by a relay enhances the interference level and enables the cancellation of the interference. If the interfering source to relay link is not strong, then the relay can decode a part of the interference and forward it to the destination, and the destination can cancel only that part of the interference. It is known as partial decode-and-forward (PDF) and partial interference...
