However, deciding upon the optimum placement for the base stations (BS) to achieve best services while reducing the cost is a complex task requiring vast computational resource. This paper addresses antenna placement problem or the cell planning problem, involves locating and configuring infrastructure for mobile networks. The Cluster Partitioning Around Medoids (PAM) original algorithm has been modified and a new algorithm M-PAM (Modified-Partitioning Around Medoids) has been proposed by the authors in a recent work. In the present paper, the M-PAM algorithm is modified and a new algorithm CWN-PAM (Clustering with Weighted Node-Partitioning Around Medoids) has been proposed to satisfy the requirements and constraints. Implementation of this algorithm to a real case study is presented. Results demonstrate the effectiveness and flexibility of the modifying algorithm in tackling the important problem of mobile network planning.","PeriodicalId":105399,"journal":{"name":"2008 Third International Conference on Systems and Networks Communications","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124868115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At each iteration a number of unique lags are chosen randomly from the available range so that on the average GLHSAM has the same cost as the SAM algorithm.

Therefore, each AP must be capable of accommodating a great many WTs. Moreover, this network is required to accommodate a variety of services; some services need to be prioritized. In this paper, we propose a novel prioritized control scheme that applies random access to wide area ubiquitous wireless networks. Two kinds of priority classes are considered; high priority (HP) class and low priority (LP) class. The transmission performance of HP class must be guaranteed regardless of LP class traffic situation. To meet this requirement, the proposed scheme isolates the random access (RA) periods of the two classes and controls the RA period for HP class according to the HP class traffic situation, which is predicted from the HP event notification history (event here means that a WT has HP traffic to send). This paper also clarifies the problems of the conventional scheme and reveals the transmission performance of the conventional and proposed scheme by computer simulation.","PeriodicalId":105399,"journal":{"name":"2008 Third International Conference on Systems and Networks Communications","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126521782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As we know, elder are more likely to have health issues. The special needs presented by elder are gaining a major concern from all of us. Another tendency of our society is the lack of time that people demonstrate and, as a consequence, the lack of time reflects when families can't take care of their own elders. Many solutions are being presented in order to solve this problem. Some of them are taking advantage of the new technology developments in body sensor network area. In this paper we proposed an architecture of a system called elder care. The elder care solution has two primary goals: monitoring vital signs, sending alerts to family and specialized help and provide a social network in order to wrap all elder to avoid social isolation.","PeriodicalId":105399,"journal":{"name":"2008 Third International Conference on Systems and Networks Communications","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128756747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These materials show very particular characteristics. Their index of refraction has a negative value, which results in the reversal of Snell's law. Whereas, in traditional material the Poynting vector S always forms a right- handed triplet with E and H (S = E Lambda H). In the left handed media, the Poynting vector S and the wave vector K are in opposite directions. Thus, the wave moves in the direction opposite to the direction of the energy flow: phase speed and group speed are anti- parallel. Therefore, a left-handed media is artificial and does not exist in nature. Indeed, when these materials are inserted into a guided wave device, one obtains the backward-wave effect. The goal of this work is to study more in details this physical phenomenon. To undertake this study, this paper presents also the design of a 10 GHz beam-scanning CPW-Antenna fabricated on metamaterial support.","PeriodicalId":105399,"journal":{"name":"2008 Third International Conference on Systems and Networks Communications","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122072896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We develop a probabilistic multipath routing algorithm and incorporates factors like signal strength into the route metrics so as to predict link breaks before they actually occur. In addition to signal strength and shortest-path metrics, our algorithm updates the goodness of choosing a particular path based on congestion measurement and energy level in each node. By All of the above improvements in conventional DSR, the simulation results testify that our new Robust DSR algorithm can be suitable in ad-hoc situations.","PeriodicalId":105399,"journal":{"name":"2008 Third International Conference on Systems and Networks Communications","volume":"172 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130954017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this technique is to transfer the most computational complexity from UT to the BS, keeping the first one at very low complexity.
