In this paper, we propose an advanced transmission protocol for the next generation wireless access network using wireless network coding (WNC). As an alternative to conventional cooperative multipoint (CoMP) as described in LTE-A, WNC enables access point cooperation, combining the flows using network coding functions, instead of sending multiple separate information flows across the backhaul…

Reliability and Survivability Analysis of Artificial Cobweb Network Model Used in Low-voltage Power-line Communication System
In order to verify the feasibility of the artificial cobweb model used in low-voltage power line communication (LVPLC) routing to improve the reliability of LVPLC, the all- terminal reliability of the artificial cobweb model has been calculated based on the factorization method in this paper. Specifically,Analysis shows that the proposed artificial cobweb shows much better…
There is a Will, There is a Way: A New Mechanism for Traffic Control Based on VTL and VANET
Traffic light is regarded as one of the most effective ways to alleviate traffic congestion and carbon emission problems. However, traditional traffic light cannot meet the challenges in traffic regulation posed by the fast growing number of vehicles and increasing complexity of road conditions. In this paper, we propose a dynamic traffic regulation method based…
A programmable and virtualized network & IT infrastructure for the internet of things: How can NFV & SDN help for facing the upcoming challenges
The Internet of Things (IoT) revolution has major impacts on the network & Information Technology (IT) infrastructure. As IT in the past decade, network virtualization is simultaneously on its way with for instance Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN). NFV and SDN are approaches enhancing the infrastructure agility thus facilitating the design, delivery…
Copper is the new black for ultra broadband networks
G.fast, the newest ITU protocol for copper access, will deliver anywhere from hundreds of Mb/s to close to 1Gb/s. Operators have an additional tool at their disposal to provide fiber like speeds over existing copper.
Fault tolerance in Dynamic Cluster-Based Wireless Sensor Networks
Researches on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been increased tremendously in the recent years. Cluster-based Wireless Sensor Network out performs flat network in terms of data routing, energy dissipation, data load balancing, etc. A self organized cluster-based sensor network that has the cluster management mechanisms for new nodes joining and existing nodes leaving, is defined…
A New Pan-Sharpening Method With Deep Neural Networks
A deep neural network (DNN)-based new pansharpening method for the remote sensing image fusion problem is proposed in this letter. Research on representation learning suggests that the DNN can effectively model complex relationships between variables via the composition of several levels of nonlinearity. Inspired by this observation, a modified sparse denoising autoencoder (MSDA) algorithm is…
A survey on distributed techniques for detection of node clones in Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless Sensor Networks consists of sensor nodes which are placed in harsh and hostile surrounding where an adversary may capture the nodes, replicate them and use it for its own purpose. If the clone nodes remain undetected, it can disrupt the network functions making it vulnerable to attacks. Hence false data can be injected or…
Semi-Persistent RRC Protocol for Machine-Type Communication Devices in LTE Networks
In this paper, we investigate the design of a radio resource control (RRC) protocol in the framework of long-term evolution (LTE) of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project regarding provision of low cost/complexity and low energy consumption machine-type communication (MTC), which is an enabling technology for the emerging paradigm of the Internet of Things. Due to the nature…
Measurements on Rogowski coils as coupling elements for power line communication in traction lithium-ion batteries
We propose Rogowski coils as coupling elements for Power Line Communication (PLC) in lithium-ion batteries for electric and hybrid vehicles. Current battery management systems use standard CAN busses for the communication between the battery control unit (BCU) and battery modules, which comprise lithium-ion cells. In contrast, in next-generation batteries the BCU should communicate with each lithium-ion cell in a…
