The lifetime of a wireless sensor network (WSN) determines how long the network can be used to monitor the area of interest. Hence, it is one of the most important performance metrics for WSN. The approaches used to prolong the lifetime can be …
A novel model-based dynamic distributed state estimator is proposed using sensor networks. The estimator consists of a filtering step – which uses a weighted combination of information provided by the sensors – and a model-based predictor of the …
Industry 4.0 is the emerging trend of the industrial automation. Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication is a prominent technology for wireless networks to support the Industry 4.0 requirements. The availability of tractable accurate interference …
Distributed optimization increasingly plays a centralrole in economical and sustainable operation of cyber-physicalsystems. Nevertheless, the complete potential of the technologyhas not yet been fully exploited in practice due to …
As electric power system operators shift from conventional energy to renewable energy sources, power distribution systems will experience increasing fluctuations in supply. These fluctuations present the need to not only design online decentralized …
In wireless communication networks, interference models are routinely used for tasks, such as performance analysis, optimization, and protocol design. These tasks are heavily affected by the accuracy and tractability of the interference models. Yet, …
Contemporary Content Delivery Networks (CDN) handle a vast number of content items. At such a scale, the replication schemes require a significant amount of time to calculate and realize cache updates, and hence they are impractical in highly-dynamic …
In electrical distribution grids, the constantly increasing number of power generation devices based on renewables demands a transition from a centralized to a distributed generation paradigm. In fact, power injection from distributed energy …
Although the benefits of precoding and combining data signals are widely recognized, the potential of these techniques for pilot transmission is not fully understood. This is particularly relevant for multiuser multiple-input multiple-output(MU-MIMO) …
Motivated by the specific characteristics of mmWave technologies, we discuss the possibility of an authorization regime that allows spectrum sharing between multiple operators, also referred to as spectrum pooling. In particular, considering user …
