Chip-Level Modulated BPPM Fiber-Optic Code Division Multiple Access
(
IEEE
, 2009 , Conference Paper)
Chip-Level Modulated Binary Pulse Position Modulation (CLM-BPPM) is proposed as a modulation scheme for Fiber-Optic Code Division Multiple Access (FO-CDMA) systems using Optical Orthogonal Code (OOC) for time domain signal ...
Cost optimization of composite beams using genetic algorithms
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2009 , Article)
This paper presents a genetic algorithm model for the cost optimization of composite beams based on the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) specifications of the AISC. The model formulation includes the cost of concrete, ...
A predictive strategy for lifetime maximization in selective relay networks
(
IEEE
, 2009 , Conference Paper)
Two algorithms based on an energy conserving dynamic transmit power threshold are proposed for improving the lifetime in relay networks utilizing selective relay strategies with amplify-and-forward (AF) relays. the lifetime ...
A Pyramidal Security Model for Large-Scale Group-Oriented Computing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks: The Key Management Study
(
IEEE
, 2009 , Article)
In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), many applications require group-oriented computing among a large number of nodes in an adversarial environment. To deploy these large-scale cooperative applications, secure multicast ...

Estimating design effort for the compressor design department: a case study at Pratt & Whitney Canada
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2009 , Article)
The effort required in a design project not only impacts the final cost, but also the project lead-time. This paper presents a case study carried out with the collaboration of Pratt & Whitney Canada, a global leader in the ...
Controlling Error Propagation in Network-Coded Cooperative Wireless Systems
(
IEEE
, 2009 , Article)
In cooperative communications, error propagation at relays degrades the diversity order of the system. To combat that effect, it has been suggested to implement a reliability threshold at the relay to control error ...
Predicting transformers oil parameters
(
IEEE
, 2009 , Conference Paper)
In this paper different configurations of artificial neural networks are applied to predict various transformers oil parameters. The prediction is performed through modeling the relationship between the transformer insulation ...
Cross-Layer Optimal Rate Allocation for Heterogeneous Wireless Multicast
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2009 , Article)
Heterogeneous multicast is an efficient communication scheme especially for multimedia applications running over multihop networks. The term heterogeneous refers to the phenomenon when multicast receivers in the same session ...
Wireless Multicast Cross-Layer Framework for Rate
(
IEEE
, 2009 , Article)
Multicast-based data communication is an efficient communication scheme especially in multihop ad hoc networks where the MAC layer is based on one-hop broadcast from one source to multiple receivers. In this paper, we ...
