On-chip computing platforms have bottlenecks including cost and physical limits of scaling transistors, communication bottleneck, energy efficiency and speed costs for memory. Three dimensional (3D) design, carbon nanotube ...

Initial works on cooperative vehicular communications build upon the assumption of frequency-flat and quasi-static fading channels. This can be justified only for narrowband systems in very slow traffic flows such as in ...

In this article, we propose multiple-relay selection schemes for multiple source nodes in amplify-and-forward wireless relay networks based on the sum capacity maximization criterion. Both optimal and sub-optimal relay ...

Target or event detection is one of the main applications of drone networks. Several cooperative search algorithms have been proposed for teams of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), where the goal is to minimize search time ...

In this study, the authors investigate the information theoretical limits on the performance of point-to-point single-carrier acoustic systems over frequency-selective underwater channels with intersymbol interference. ...

Atmospheric turbulence is a major degrading factor in free-space optical (FSO) systems. Since turbulence-induced fading results in a very slowly-varying channel, reliable feedback is possible allowing the implementation ...

In this study, the authors investigate the error rate performance of amplify-and-forward relaying over N∗Nakagami fading channels. This is a recently introduced channel model that involves the product of N Nakagami-m-distributed ...

In this paper, we present a unified resource allocation and mobility management algorithm based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) for indoor visible light communication (VLC) networks. We consider a VLC network where ...

Space-time (ST) coding combined with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is a robust transmission system. However, ST-OFDM system performance may degrade because of the intercarrier interference (ICI) in ...

The authors investigate the performance of amplify-and-forward relaying with two different pilot-symbol-assisted channel estimation methods. In the first estimation method, the cascaded channel consisting of source-to-relay ...
