Any of these parameters alone or their combined result can affect the final outcome of a wireless sensor network. As such, total elimination of these parameters could also be damaging to the final outcome, as it may result in removing useful information that can benefit the decision making process. Several efforts have been made to find the optimal balance between which parameters, where, and how to remove them. We have developed computationally low power, low bandwidth, and low cost filters that will remove the noise and compress the data so that a decision can be made at the node level.","PeriodicalId":117027,"journal":{"name":"2010 Wireless Telecommunications Symposium (WTS)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129058260","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}

Hand-off mechanism ensures that the active calls in the system are successfully completed without being dropped in the mid communication. This seamless connectivity is achieved as the user moves around transferring active calls from one base station to another. In this paper, we study and propose a hand-off mechanism using cooperative game theory. Using a simple quality of service (QoS) utility function proposed in this paper, we conclude that our optimal deterministic hand-off strategy is to transfer the active calls to the base station with greater signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR) and greater number of available channels.","PeriodicalId":117027,"journal":{"name":"2010 Wireless Telecommunications Symposium (WTS)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115032274","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 order to improve visual artifacts, various schemes are proposed in the literature, including higher distortion to the residual prediction used in ESS enhancement layer for non matching residuals. Whereas, residual prediction is also used to conceal lost MBs in inter-layer error concealment methods. We propose an efficient use of residual prediction to prevent those artifacts as well as to conceal lost MBs, exploiting features in homogenous characteristics in video objects for error resilient coding.

Simulation results show that the proposed method can achieve much lower false synchronization probability in comparison with the existing ones with low complexity overhead. Furthermore, time to acquire frame synchronization is reduced to a desirable level, even under much worse channel condition than specified.","PeriodicalId":117027,"journal":{"name":"2010 Wireless Telecommunications Symposium (WTS)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114344204","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}

Most researches focus on predicting user's navigation using context history and user preferences. But, the influence of the attributes of a service has been ignored. Simultaneously, some attributes are variable, so the recommendations are changeable. Therefore, the paper proposes an attribute-based scheme for service recommendation based on CASUP (context-aware system considering user preference). In proposed approach, the services are classified into several service clusters, and the service recommendations are carried out using Apriori algorithm and ant colony algorithm. Finally, the proposed model is validated by several simulation experiments, which demonstrate the effects of the service attributes in m-commerce.","PeriodicalId":117027,"journal":{"name":"2010 Wireless Telecommunications Symposium (WTS)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130097760","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}

Applying the statistical properties of orthogonality to independent and identically distributed wireless channels, system performance for the proposed pairing algorithm is evaluated in terms of joint capacity, OSNR loss, throughput fairness, and computational complexity.

Therefore, it is increasingly necessary for research groups to provide access to their non-proprietary, unclassified sensor networks so that the data may be analyzed without compromising its integrity, and at times repurposed by scientists and engineers studying other aspects of inter-related phenomena.

An upper bound on the average probability of bit error (Pb) and average probability of symbol error (Ps) is derived for M-ary phase shift keying (MPSK) modulation schemes. It is shown that the system employing employing modulation diversity is able to provide a performance improvement of 5 dB at a bit error rate of 10−4 as compared to the conventional cooperative communication systems.
