Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPath Loss Measurements for Wireless Communication in Urban and Rural EnvironmentsYahia Zakaria, Jiri Hosek, Jiri MisurecPath loss models are useful planning tools that allow the designers of wireless communication networks to achieve optimal levels for the base station deployment and meeting the expected service level requirements. In this study various propagation models (COST 231 Walfisch-Ikegami W-I, Ericsson and Stanford University Interim SUI) are analyzed and compared with the measurements. The measured data were taken in … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 16 Apr 2015 · 7,832 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractADOPEL: ADAPTIVE DATA COLLECTION PROTOCOL USING REINFORCEMENT LEARNING FOR VANETSAhmed Soua, Hossam AfifiEfficient propagation of information over a vehicular wireless network has usually remained the focus of the research community. Although, scanty contributions have been made in the field of vehicular data collection and more especially in applying learning techniques to such a very changing networking scheme. These smart learning approaches excel in making the collecting operation more reactive to nodes mobility … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 22 Jul 2014 · 8,414 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecovery in Distributed Systems from Transient and Permanent FaultsM. Aliouat, Z. AliouatThe recovery mechanism from transient fault in distributed systems has been intensively studied in the past, but to our best knowledge, none of these studies has been devoted to cope together with transient and permanent hard faults. Our study devoted to recovery processes in a distributed environment in case of hard faults like transient or permanent. The recovery mechanism we … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 6,854 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnergy Efficiency Analysis of a TR-UWB SystemAdil El Abboubi, Fouzia Elbahhar, Marc Heddebaut et al.In wireless communications, where sensors operate on batteries, the energy consumption must be reduced while considering the communication range and data rate requirements. In this context we analyze and compare, in this study, the UWB and TR-UWB system in terms of the total energy consumption. So, for that, we develop an analytical model to estimate the energy consumption of a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 15 Feb 2016 · 7,317 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIndoor Characterisation using High-Resolution Signal Processing Based on Five-Port Techniques for Signal Input Multiple Output SystemsSmari Mouheddin, Bel hadj Taher JamelProblem statement: The development of wideband mobile communication systems requires a deep knowledge of the characteristics of the indoor mobile radio channel. The characterization of the indoor multi-path propagation structure is important in developing antifading techniques for high-speed digital radio access. The high-resolution of the estimation of the Time of Arrival (ToA) and the Direction of Arrival (DoA) of multi-path … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,684 accessesView PDFCite
