A Node Location Algorithm Based on Node Movement Prediction in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2020 , Article)Aiming at the problems of the low mobility, low location accuracy, high communication overhead, and high energy consumption of sensor nodes in underwater acoustic sensor networks, the MPL (movement prediction location) ... -
Noise pollution in the hospital environment of a developing country: A case study of Lahore (Pakistan)
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2018 , Article)The present study investigates the noise pollution levels in public- and private-sector hospitals of Lahore. The noise pollution parameters were investigated from 20 public and 10 private hospitals. We observed that the ... -
Noisy zones of proximal development: Conversation in noisy classrooms
( Blackwell Publishing Ltd , 2011 , Article)Despite the importance of context in studies of language use, sociolinguists have ignored the impact of noise on conversational interaction. This inattention is of particular concern in classrooms where language is a ... -
NOMA-Based Coordinated Direct and Relay Transmission with a Half-Duplex/ Full-Duplex Relay
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2020 , Article)In this article, we propose a downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) based coordinated direct and relay system with one cell-center user and multiple cell-edge users, where a decode-and-forward (DF) relay bridges ... -
NOMA-based Joint Allocation and Offloading Strategy of Communication and Computing Resources
