Both the source and destination have one antenna and each relay is equipped with N antennas. There exists a buffer at each relay in order to store the incoming data packet and retransmit it to the destination later. At each time slot, simultaneous data transmission of the source and one of the relay results in inter-relay interference (IRI). We propose a novel buffer-aided relay selection scheme which mitigates the IRI with the aid of minimum variance (MV) beamforming and the relay buffers. More specifically, at each time slot, two relays are selected to receive data from the source and to transmit data to the destination provided that the associated source-to-destination signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) is maximized. By simulations, we investigate the performance of the proposed policy in terms of the throughput, delay, outage probability and SER (symbol error rate). It is shown that the proposed scheme suppresses the IRI efficiently, achieves higher throughput and lower outage probability compared to the other recently proposed successive relaying policies.","PeriodicalId":417179,"journal":{"name":"7'th International Symposium on Telecommunications (IST'2014)","volume":"434 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130569520","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 approach can be extended to several cases of distributed power control. One of the distributed power control scenarios wherein the contractive interference functions have not been employed is the power control in MIMO systems. In this paper, this scenario will be analyzed. In addition, the optimal linear precoder is employed in each user to achieve maximum point-to-point information rate. In our approach, we use the same amount of signaling as the previous methods did. However, we show that the uniqueness of Nash equilibria is more probable in our approach, suggesting that our proposed method improves the convergence performance of distributed power control in MIMO systems. We also show that the proposed power control algorithm can be implemented asynchronously, which gives a noticeable flexibility to our algorithm given the practical communication limitations.","PeriodicalId":417179,"journal":{"name":"7'th International Symposium on Telecommunications (IST'2014)","volume":"25 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128643554","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}

Our goal is to design a bow-tie nano-antenna for maximum solar energy collection in infrared region. Different flare angles for bow-tie geometries are compared to each other and we studied the effect of substrate thickness on electric field enhancement. We found that electric field maximum occurs for 60° flare angle bowtie and glass thickness plays a critical role on electric field enhancement at the feeding point of the antenna.","PeriodicalId":417179,"journal":{"name":"7'th International Symposium on Telecommunications (IST'2014)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131338684","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}

It results in a more scalable SIP server which dynamically determines the number of SIP requests for which server is stateful and assigns state management to the server which is inferior to it for the remaining demands.

In this paper three mutual measures based on three uncertainty measures are proposed. These uncertainty measures are: 1) Aggregate Uncertainty (AU) proposed by Klir et al.; 2) Ambiguity Measure (AM) proposed by Jousselme et al.; and 3) Modified Ambiguity Measure (MAM) that is proposed in this paper. MAM is the modification of AM that resolves the non-subadditivity problem of AM. A threat assessment problem constructed by Dempster-Shafer network is used for testing these mutual measures. We use the proposed mutual measures to identify which input variables of the network are more influential on the threat value. Finally it is concluded that mutual uncertainty based on MAM is a justifiable measure to compute the relevancy in decision making applications.","PeriodicalId":417179,"journal":{"name":"7'th International Symposium on Telecommunications (IST'2014)","volume":"81 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134500288","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}

Dynamical behaviors of the SEIRS epidemic model is determined by basic reproductive ratio, which is often used as a threshold parameter. Also, the impact of the assignment of diverse software packages on the propagation process is examined. Theoretical results show that basic reproductive ratio is significantly dependent on diverse software packages and the network topology. The installation of diverse software packages on nodes leads to decrease reproductive ratio and malware spreading.
