A 38 GHz waveguide slot antenna integrated with a cavity bandpass filter is fabricated in LTCC to demonstrate the HSIW potential.

The HSIW medium has great potential for further development and could be used to realize integrated passive elements such as filters, slot antennas and power combiners for future communications needs.","PeriodicalId":319529,"journal":{"name":"2015 1st International Conference on Telematics and Future Generation Networks (TAFGEN)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126077484","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}

NC applies algebraic mathematic operation on independent data sequences in the intermediate nodes within a network. This paper attempts to transmit the higher value coefficients of image description to the channel and recover any loss happens in the network by joining the DCT-MDC and network coding. First, input image is zero padded and then DCT-MDC is performed on subimages. Next, downsampling block is used to create 4 multiple descriptions. These 4 descriptions are transmitted over the network and once the disconnection happens in the primary links, by using p-cycle NC lost data is reconstructed. In this method there is no need of retransmission (feedback). Results show that the PSNR and subjective evaluation factors for the proposed method are higher and clearer than the previous work which leads to have higher throughput.","PeriodicalId":319529,"journal":{"name":"2015 1st International Conference on Telematics and Future Generation Networks (TAFGEN)","volume":"181 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114588700","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}

However, their power efficiency and matching are either reduced, unregulated or micro-managed due to different configurations and limitations. This study attempts to identify a viable solar energy harvesting system framework for small and low-powered 3.3 V portable wireless sensor nodes while discussing essential design considerations for the system. It also views any devices that do not exceed the power usage of 1.0 W as low-powered while having a small frame to conveniently carry it around. In this investigation, solar energy harvesting wireless node prototypes were developed to determine the feasible match-up between the subsystems within the harvesting application. It was found that the prototype ideally functioned at 3.7 V while its extended version can be operated up to 4.1 V to power up the 3.3 V load. The proposed design framework has enabled a balanced and practical usage of energy resources which paves the way for greater number of applications and integrations.","PeriodicalId":319529,"journal":{"name":"2015 1st International Conference on Telematics and Future Generation Networks (TAFGEN)","volume":"305 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115934428","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}

Femtocell users are associated with a proper utility function via pricing, which represents the ratio of user's signal-to-interference-noise ratio (SINR) and the exponential price of power consumed. Assuming a femtocell user seeks selfishly to maximize its utility function under the imposed constraints, a femtocell non-cooperative power control game (FNPC) is formulated. We prove the existence and uniqueness of the Nash Equilibrium output for the game model of power control algorithm. Numerical results show the effectiveness of pricing parameters in the penalty function to the speed of convergence and power consumed.","PeriodicalId":319529,"journal":{"name":"2015 1st International Conference on Telematics and Future Generation Networks (TAFGEN)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128519072","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}

This research focuses on evaluating the CCI in terms of the Signal-to-Interference-and-Noise-Ratio (SINR) for mobile WiMAX system, as well evaluating the performance of equalization process at the receiver side by using Mean Square Error- Successive Interference Cancellation (MMSE-SIC) technique to mitigate the CCI problem in mobile WiMAX downlink and in various propagation environments. Our results showed that the downlink performance is significantly improved by using the proposed MMSE-SIC technique.

This means that any mobile subscriber can get an actual list of available subnets for exchanging messages at any time. In this case the mobile subscriber receives all the necessary settings to access those available subnets. This particular article offers the implementation of the Internet of things concepts for building the continuous channel of message exchange between mobile subscribers.
