The convergence of computer-communication networks towards an all-IP integrated network
has transformed Internet in a commercial commodity that has stimulated an un-precedent …

Always kee** a certain distance between vehicles in a platoon system is important for
collision avoidance. Centralized platoon systems let the leader vehicle determine and notify …

Free viewpoint video (FVV) offers compelling interactive experience by allowing users to
switch to any viewing angle at any time. An FVV is composed of a large number of camera …

Recently, many schemes have been proposed for detecting and healing coverage holes to
achieve full coverage in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, none of these …

The base stations of modern mobile access networks do not only provide high data rates but
also consume large and barely varying amounts of power. When the load on the network is …

In this paper, we study the link scheduling problem considering the fluctuating fading effect
in transmissions. We extend the previous deterministic physical interference model to the …

Cooperative broadcast, in which receivers are allowed to combine received packet from
different senders to combat transmission errors, has gained increasing attention. Previous …

The big revolution in computer usage is, by now, an old story. No longer do users,
programmers and computer operators always work independently and separately …

A constant voltage regulator, to supply constant power loads, is realized using a Switched-
capacitor converter. Exhaustive studies have been carried out to find the suitability of …

Though a cooperative broadcast scheme has been proposed for fading environments, it has
two defects: First, it only handles a packet flow from a single source node in the network, but …
