A major constraint in deployments of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) 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 …
In smart homes, it is essential to reliably detect events including water leakages. A control action, such as shutting the water pipes, relies on reliable event detection. In this demo, a wireless sensor network for detection and localization of …
This paper considers a multi-input multi-output(MIMO) interference network in which each transmitter intendsto communicate with its dedicated receiver at a certain fixed rate. It is known that when perfect CSI is available at each terminal, the …
Testing smart grid information and communication (ICT) infrastructures is imperative to ensure that they meet industry requirements and standards and do not compromise the grid reliability. Within the micro-grid, this requires identifying and testing …
A novel distributed estimation method for sensor networks is proposed. The goal is to track a time-varying signal that is jointly measured by a network of sensor nodes despite the presence of noise: each node computes its local estimate as a weighted …
Fast-Lipschitz optimization is a recently proposed framework useful for an important class of centralized and distributed optimization problems over peer-to-peer networks. The properties of Fast-Lipschitz problems allow to compute the solution …
The problem of allocating communication resources to multiple plants in a networked control system is investigated. In the presence of a shared communication medium, a total transmission rate constraint is imposed. For the purpose of optimizing the …
A peer-to-peer estimator computes local estimates at each node by combining the information from neighboring nodes without the need of central coordination. Although more flexible and scalable, peer-to-peer minimum variance estimators are difficult …
Fast-Lipschitz optimization has been recently proposed as a new framework with numerous computational advantages for both centralized and decentralized convex and non-convex optimization problems. Such a framework generalizes the interference …
Platooning of vehicles allows to saving energy and increasing safety provided that there are reliable wireless communication protocols. In this paper, the optimization of the medium access control (MAC) protocol based on IEEE 802.11e for the platoon …
