A generalized utility maximization problem with outage constraints in CDMA networks

The problem of maximizing a utility function while limiting the outage probability below an appropriate threshold is investigated. A coded-division multi access wireless network under mixed Nakagami-lognormal fading is considered. Solving such a …

Self-triggered control of multiple loops over IEEE 802.15.4 networks

Given the communication savings offered by self-triggered sampling, it is becoming an essential paradigm for closed-loop control over energy-constrained wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The understanding of the performance of self-triggered control …

Effects of Rayleigh-lognormal fading on IEEE 802.15.4 networks

The IEEE 802.15.4 communication protocol is a de-facto standard for wireless applications in industrial and home automation. Although the performance of the medium access control (MAC) of the IEEE 802.15.4 has been thoroughly investigated under the …

OOK/DS-CDMA bit error probability over Rayleigh fading channels

A major constraint in deployments of resource-limited networks is the energy consumption related to the battery lifetime of the network nodes. To this end, power efficient digital modulation techniques such as On-Off keying (OOK) are highly …

Decentralized minimum-cost repair for distributed storage systems

There have been emerging lots of applications for distributed storage systems e.g., those in wireless sensor networks or cloud storage. Since storage nodes in wireless sensor networks have limited battery, it is valuable to find a repair scheme with …

Communication infrastructures in industrial automation : The case of 60 GHz millimeterWave communications

Wireless sensor networks for industrial automation applications must offer timely, reliable, and energy efficient communications at both low and high data rate. While traditional communication technologies between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz are sometimes …
