The analysis provides exact and asymptotic BER expressions, which facilitate in promptly evaluating system performance without time-consuming simulations and providing important performance metrics such as diversity order. Numerous results illustrate that CII considerably increases the BER of the PRS and completely eliminates its diversity order. However, the effect of CII can be significantly mitigated by increasing the number of relays.","PeriodicalId":142783,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Communications (ATC)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132489789","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 power divider has good performance at the designed frequency 900 MHz and its bandwidth of over 1 GHz is sufficient for various applications. The simulation has been performed in both Agilent ADS/ Momentum and CST Microwave Studio and good agreement of the results obtained in these design tools was obtained. Two prototypes have been fabricated and tested, and the measurement results fit well with the simulation.

This paper, analyzes the characteristics of traffic flows up-streaming to a Vietnamese ISP server, during both states of normal and DDoS attack traffic. Based on the traffic analysis, an SDN-based Attack Prevention Architecture is proposed that is able to capture and analyze incoming flows on-the-fly. A multi-criteria based Prevention mechanism is then designed using both hard-decision thresholds and Fuzzy Inference System to detect DDoS attack.

In this paper, a compressive sensing (CS) based algorithm for distributed mobile sensors to collect data from static sensors deployed in a sensing area is proposed. The mobile sensors deployed randomly in the field are capable as mobile sinks. They move randomly in the sensing area to collect sensory data from a certain number of static sensors to create CS measurements. The measurements are exchanged between the mobile sensors based on a defined transmission range. After each mobile sensor obtains all CS measurements from the others, it can implement a CS recovery algorithm to reconstruct all sensor readings from all the static sensors in the network to build a scalar map itself. All power consumption for data transmission between the mobile sensors is formulated, analyzed and simulated. The main elements of the network, including the number of mobile sensors, the transmission range, and the convergence time are analyzed and an optimal case for the network to consume the least power is shown.","PeriodicalId":142783,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Communications (ATC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128669082","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 WPT can be divided into two main orientations: firstly WPT using inductive coupling, resonant coupling, and secondly WPT using the beam power technologies by microwave power beam and laser power beam. The WPT system with the beam power technology consists of a solar power satellite and rectenna array. The solar power satellite is composed of a large solar cell matrix to receive solar energy, microwave devices (or laser devices) to convert from solar energy into microwave (or laser) beam power, and a transmitting antenna array to transmit the power beam via the space to the rectenna array. The rectenna array receives microwave power beam and rectifies to DC power. The most important requirement for WPT using beam power technology is high collection efficiency. In order to get high collection efficiency, the rectenna array has to fulfill optimal requirement of its efficiency. This requirement plays a very important role in a wireless power transmission system. In this paper, we represent the simulation, design and the experimental fabrication of rectenna array with 4-element and 32-element rectenna array using micro strip dipole antennas with the integrated J shaped balun at the frequency of 2.45 GHz. Some simulation, design and fabrication results as well as several experimental measurement results of 4-element rectenna were shown and discussed.","PeriodicalId":142783,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Communications (ATC)","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127284173","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}
