The different values of various WiMAX parameters for different TCP variants may affect the performance of the network. This article compares the performance of different TCP variants with bandwidth asymmetry, frame duration, and modulation coding schemes, along with the operating parameter namely number of wireless nodes. During the simulation study the performance was evaluated only for one-way data transfer. The finding suggests that the TCP New Reno performed better than other variants included in the simulation study for the comparison. The performance was measured on the basis of throughput, goodput and packets dropped.","PeriodicalId":422249,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Wirel.

Hence, this paper proposes a Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) system combined with radar detection for an FCWS mechanism. The mechanism proposed by this paper will actively probe the emergency brakes of the vehicle in front and broadcast warning information with the Global Positioning System (GPS) position. Moreover, this mechanism uses warning information based on the GPS position to calculate the time of collision in order to alert the driver.","PeriodicalId":422249,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Wirel.

The model of mobility depicts the poignant nature of every node which is mobile in MANETs that is considered to be realistic. It plays a vital role in measuring the performance of MANETs. Mobility is considered to be the prime motive in simulation, because it is a huge influence over the design and network's performance due to limitation in resources and it lead to packet delivery ratio (PDR), varying velocity node energy (NE). Lots of work has been done to improve the above problems. Therefore, there is a requirement of more improvement in this area to enhance overall performance of mobility models. This paper presents a comparative simulation-based analysis of Gauss Markov, Manhattan, and random waypoint mobility models over TCP Newreno that uses a DSDV and AODV routing protocols. Moreover, experiment results and performance analysis have been performed with PDR and NE of the varying number of mobile nodes.","PeriodicalId":422249,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Wirel.

Receiver diversity technique is proposed here for the distributed detection system in order to enhance the system reliability by improving the detection performance. The fusion center is assumed to be multiple antennas device in order to imply the idea of receiver diversity. Different combining schemes at the fusion center side are used to reduce the fading effects in the case of receiver diversity. Transmitter diversity is also considered in this paper. Cooperative sensors are assumed in order to obtain Alamouti space time block codes. Optimal and sub-optimal fusion rules are derived for each case study. Simulation results show the performance improvement obtained as compared to the conventional distributed detection system in which no diversity is used.","PeriodicalId":422249,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Heterogeneous networks (HetNets) deployment paradigm is an emerging research trend considered as the most significant aspect for meeting the mobile data challenge, mainly by proposing spectral efficiency enhancements and cell capacity gains from an overall system perspective. Two are the main challenges that dense small cell networks are facing: a) various types of interference mainly caused by unplanned deployments, and b) limited and Quality of Service (QoS)-unreliable wired backhaul links. In this paper, the authors propose a model where femtocells' and relays' complementary characteristics are effectively exploited into femto-relays. More specifically, the authors describe four main functionalities of this model: a) interference protection, b) two-fold backhaul alternatives (i.e. wired and wireless backhaul), c) opportunistic femto-relay selection, and d) full-duplex in-band relaying. To evaluate the anticipated technical impact of the proposed model, targeted simulation results are presented for a campus topology where femto-relays are compared with classic femtocells. Finally, related open issues, such as signaling overheads management, context-aware resource management, and business logic aspects are presented, with emphasis on the femto-relay's real market penetration opportunities in the mid and long-term future.","PeriodicalId":422249,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Indeed, their applications target a wide range of fields such as healthcare, industrial control, environmental monitoring, etc. The main challenge of WSNs is the limitation of resources requiring efficient management of energy consumption. Coverage is also considered as one of the critical indicators of the quality of service (QoS) of WSNs. Therefore, the design of routing protocols should focus on energy efficiency and network coverage. In this paper, the authors propose a novel energy-efficient clustering protocol that is more efficient than some prominent routing protocols and offers better coverage of the network than LEACH. The protocol combines the MCL algorithm for cluster formation and a new cluster head selection strategy based on location and residual energy of sensors. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed protocol is better than other protocols in terms of energy management and extending the lifetime of the network, whereas, it achieves good coverage than LEACH.","PeriodicalId":422249,"journal":{"name":"Int.
