Both incoming signals are combined at the receiver side using Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) technique. We retrieve, in particular, the Moment Generating Function (MGF) of the total Signal-toNoise Ratio (SNR).

In a multipath environment, bit error rate (BER) is dominated by few subcarriers with small amplitudes because of the deep fades. This requires employing forward error correction (FEC) method on the data transferred in order to compensate for the burst errors that occur in physical channel. To this end, we adopt polar codes which are the latest breakthrough in coding theory. We propose polar coded OFDM (PCOFDM) system to improve the bit error rate (BER) of OFDM. The simulation results on an AWGN channel using binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) show that PCOFDM system exhibits better bit error rate (BER) performance than the low-density parity-check (LDPC) coded OFDM (LDPC-COFDM) system under similar channel conditions.","PeriodicalId":113688,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Wireless Networks and Mobile Communications (WINCOM)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114157363","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}

But the problematic is that the electric field which is one of SAR parameter's calculation, it varies with time, which prevents us to determine a concrete value of the fields, which the human body is exposed in a geographical area.

The proposed configurations are simulated using the HFSS software package, where return loss, input impedance (Z-parameter), and radiation patterns are used for the analysis of the different configurations. Compared to the conventional rectangular patch antenna slot loading antennas have good return loss, for these reasons we have associated the two techniques simultaneously in the same patch antenna for benefit from its advantages and minimized manufacturing cost.","PeriodicalId":113688,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Wireless Networks and Mobile Communications (WINCOM)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125933213","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}

In fact, the use of internet is becoming wider with the diversity of possible offered services, going from emailing, Data and video transfers, to IoT. The number of internet users has reached multimillions of people these last two decades, in addition, they are willing to connect wirelessly anytime and anywhere, to the best available technology, under the Always Best-Connected paradigm (ABC). The mobile terminals are nowadays, equipped with multiple interfaces, allowing them, to connect to any available wireless access technology, and this provokes vertical handovers to happen. The vertical handover is the changing of the wireless access technology (Ex: from Wi-Fi to 4G), unlike the horizontal handover, which means changing the base station or access point, while staying within the same wireless technology. Thus, the vertical handover process needs to be improved, especially the decision phase, which is the most crucial, while the sensors and antennas' technologies are developing very fast, to collect more efficient metrics, to make faster and more precise decisions anytime. Many theories have been used to deal with the vertical handover decision making, like utility function, fuzzy theory, neural networks, artificial intelligence, and Multi-Attributes Decision Making (MADM). Naturally, MADM methods are the most suitable for this kind of decision making issues. Moreover, these algorithms are relatively simple to implement, and are executing fast enough, to ensure a “seamless” handover, without interrupting the services and sessions. The aim of this paper is to investigate which MADM combination is relatively the best, amongst 120 combinations of MADM methods compared.","PeriodicalId":113688,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Wireless Networks and Mobile Communications (WINCOM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129431353","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}

Caching technique is a workaround to deal with bottleneck in the Back-haul, as the capacity of the wireless links could not support the increasing demand for rich multimedia. In this perspective multiple contents providers are in competition for caching space of network operator base stations. In fact, the caching space is a limited resource due to the exponential traffic of mobile data and video consumption. It is in this perspective that mobile operators and contents providers find themselves linked in this market profit generating, and consequently linked also in the allocating cache and setting price issues. In this paper we propose a multi-Stackelberg game between multiple MNOs (leaders) and several CPs (followers) computing under the Cournot-Nash assumption. In the first step a multi-leader Stackelberg game between Multiple MNO, considered as the leaders, aims to define the price they charges the CPs to maximize their profit. In the second step a multi-follower Cournot game between the CPs, considered as the followers, compete to increase the space quantity they cache at the MNOs small base stations (SBS) to maximize also their profit and to improve the quality of service (QoS) of their users. Our goal is to find the price the MNOs will set and the quantity of contents that each CP will cache. In the pricing game, each MNO first sets the price. Then the CPs react with proposed quantities of Space to cache. Then after the MNO sets again an optimal price according to the prediction of each CP's optimal strategies. Numerical results describe the structure of the Nash equilibrium and the optimal prices resulting from the MNOs and CPs optimal strategies.","PeriodicalId":113688,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Wireless Networks and Mobile Communications (WINCOM)","volume":"270 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122188174","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}

In this paper a recognition system for CE imaging has been developed to automatically detect and recognize polyps. The proposed method is founded upon the extraction of Local Fractal Dimension (LFD) features over the detected SIFT Keypoints, these characteristics are then concatenated with Uniform Local Binary Pattern (LBPu) or Complete LBP (CLBP) so as to integrate the texture information.
