There are several approaches for Radio Resource Management (RRM) in multicarrier cellular systems. This work analyzes and compares two of them: rate-adaptive resource allocation (sub-carriers and power) based on instantaneous data rates, and utility-based packet scheduling based on average data rates. A fundamental RRM problem in wireless cellular networks was chosen as a background to […]
This paper presents a computational study on the dynamic of nitric oxide (NO) in both the biological and artificial environments, by means the analysis of important nitric oxide diffusion attributes, which are defined in this work. We apply the compartmental model of NO diffusion as a formal tool, using a computational neuroscience point of view. […]
Cognitive radio is a promising solution to the problem of spectrum scarcity by means of allowing secondary radio networks access the spectrum opportunistically. One of the most important issues in cognitive radio is how to detect existing over-the-air signals reliably. Not a few literatures have reported that signals could be detected via their inherent or […]
Efficient evaluation of decision fusion algorithms becomes particularly important when different fusion schemes have to be compared with respect to an underlying performance metric or when a large number of evaluations are required for optimization purposes. In this paper, we present explicit expressions for the global error probabilities of decision fusion for distributed detection with […]
In this study, we propose a space search algorithm (SSA) and then introduce a hybrid optimization of ANFIS-based fuzzy models based on SSA and information granulation (IG). In comparison with “conventional” evolutionary algorithms (such as PSO), SSA leads not only to better search performance to find global optimization but is also more computationally effective. In […]
The main objective of this work is to analyze the computing capabilities of human neuroblastoma cultured cells and to define stimulation patterns able to modulate the neural activity in response to an image for controlling an autonomous robot. Multielectrode Arrays Setups have been designed for direct culturing neural cells over silicon or glass substrates, providing […]
This paper presents a new approach to a robust fuzzy controller design for the bilateral teleportation system with varying time delays using linear matrix inequalities. Communication channels are considered with different forwarding and returning time delays. The time delays of communication channels are assumed to be unknown and randomly time varying, but the upper bounds […]
Here, a self-oscillating mixer is experimentally demonstrated employing both the fundamental and harmonic signals generated by the oscillator sub-circuit in the mixing process. The resulting circuit is a dual-band down-converting mixer that can operate in the C-band, or in the X-band. The oscillator uses the active super harmonic coupling to enforce the quadrature relationship of […]
This paper presents an investigation on the Hybrid Seven-Level (HSL) H–bridge inverter, which is used in a Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) in Power Systems (PS). Making use of HSLI has the benefits of low harmonics distortion, reduced number of switches required to achieve the seven- level inverter output over the conventional cascaded seven-level inverter, and […]
This paper considers the problem of robust H∞ filter design in uncertain discrete-time singular systems with possible missing measurements due to unreliable network transmission channels. The stochastic variable satisfying Bernoulli random binary distribution is introduced to model the missing phenomena and the corresponding filtering error dynamics with delay is then induced. We provide a set […]
