It simultaneously uses several wireless/mobile access networks to the Internet in order to reach the service continuity gateway located somewhere in a broadband network. This customer-oriented approach uses the measurements to select the tunnels between the router and the gateway. Furthermore an algorithm for solving the Generalized Assignment Problem minimizes the costs. The allocation decision must be taken once every second in order to obtain the minimum possible cost.","PeriodicalId":360676,"journal":{"name":"2014 11th International Symposium on Electronics and Telecommunications (ISETC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126863772","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 performed intentional interference to DVB-C and DVB-T real signals in order to evaluate the effect of a generic interferer over received BER. The chosen interferers were a FM signal and an analogic TV signal, superposed over the whole 8 MHz channel. We have extensively tested the effects of these signals over DVB-T and DVB-C channel as additive noise. Our main result was that for the same injected power in channel, Gaussian noise leads to worst SNR deterioration. We also pointed out the differences between OFDM and non-OFDM DVB signals behavior in case of an interference.","PeriodicalId":360676,"journal":{"name":"2014 11th International Symposium on Electronics and Telecommunications (ISETC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123145390","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}

Cognitive Radio (CR) technology offers a solution by allowing unlicensed users to access licensed frequency bands. Any CR equipment should perform a spectrum sensing process in order to detect the presence of the licensed users. Several sensing methods are available, including the energy detection method. In this paper, we enhance the accuracy of the previously proposed Improved Energy Detection (IED) algorithm by removing the current observation event from the computation of the average energy. Therefore, these two variables become statistically independent, which in turn, provide a more Accurate Average Energy Detection (AAED). The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) performances of the new AAED algorithm are estimated by means of simulations and compared with the ROCs obtained for the IED algorithm. The simulations confirm the superiority of the AAED algorithm as compared to IED, by more than 1.5% in terms of detection probability.","PeriodicalId":360676,"journal":{"name":"2014 11th International Symposium on Electronics and Telecommunications (ISETC)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125233135","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}

Not too many robotic arms have cameras which control them, most of the robotic arms have cameras which recognize the targeted object, but not the arm it's self. This algorithm uses not one, but two cameras to control the robotic arm, which makes the application even more interesting. The image recognition is done using the OpenCV toolkit included in C++ programming language on Ubuntu Linux operating system. The movement calculation is done in real-time using image recognition. The used robotic arm is an AL5A Robotic arm from Lynxmotion, but the movement computation algorithm can be used on any type of robotic arm.","PeriodicalId":360676,"journal":{"name":"2014 11th International Symposium on Electronics and Telecommunications (ISETC)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133068291","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 context, the present paper addressed the issue of stereoscopic visual attention models designed to detect salient objects in 3D videos. We propose representing the image sequence as a 2D video stream and its associated depth maps. The technique starts by combining a spatiotemporal attention model with a disparity map. The depth map offers important information about the objects position in space and helps us estimating their relative distance to the video camera. The proposed method is evaluated on a set of ten 3D video streams and can be considered efficient and robust.","PeriodicalId":360676,"journal":{"name":"2014 11th International Symposium on Electronics and Telecommunications (ISETC)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123463507","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}
