Driving a vehicle has become a challenging task, especially because up to 90% of accidents involving vehicles are caused by drivers' errors. In this paper, we propose a method for events identification with the use of an SPC (Statistical Process Control)...

The country of Luxembourg possesses a road network topology that provides direct highway connectivities to its three neighbouring countries. Its economic strength attracts cross-border commuters who represent approximately half of the work force in ...

Vehicular safety applications are based on broadcasting of safety messages to the neighboring vehicles. As LTE is an infrastructure-based network, vehicles cannot broadcast their safety messages directly to their neighbors; thus, all messages should ...

In this paper we present a new class of MAC protocols for wireless LANs based on sharing of transmission intentions. We develop an example protocol implementation based on distributed, co-operative scheduling of data frames. Schedules are non-binding, ...

Information exchange between mobile devices grows every day. The communication relies on a network with an access point (Wi-Fi, cellular, etc.) using ad hoc communication because Wi-Fi Direct would avoid this dependence. Currently, Wi-Fi Direct does not ...

The better we understand human mobility the more capable we are to perform realistic simulations of human driven MANETs. By using this knowledge we can more accurately predict the performance that can be expected from real MANET implementations. In this ...

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has been gaining momentum as the main technology for implementation of data center environment, and its usage has recently been extended to transport and wireless networks. Recently, research has been conducted on ...

Millimeter-wave (mm-wave) wireless local area networks (WLANs) are expected to provide multi-Gbps connectivity by exploiting the large amount of unoccupied spectrum in e.g. the unlicensed 60 GHz band. However, to overcome the high path loss inherent at ...

Nowadays, many base stations (BSs) are equipped with batteries to provide services even during blackouts due to severe events such as disasters. In this paper, we propose a scheduling algorithm to adjust cell sizes, aka cell zooming, of battery-operated ...

Energy efficiency advancement is vital in target tracking Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) due to resource constraints of tiny detectors. On the other side, Tracking quality must also be assured while minimizing energy consumption. The main aim of target ...

The autonomic computing paradigm arises to tackle the complexity of today's dynamic heterogeneous and ubiquitous systems. The architecture of autonomic systems based on the MAPE-K loop dynamically adapts itself when the context changes. However, ...

In our research, most of our analysis was based on statically reverse engineering the applications. However we wanted to combine this with dynamic analysis to make sure our findings were correct and observable at runtime. For this, we initially created "...

The use of biological properties for individual identification, called biometric systems, on mobile devices is the easier and safer approach to deal with user personal information. Several works have been sought to develop robust solutions for different ...

Detecting daily physical activities is very important in applications such as developing automated comfort scenarios for an individual. Motion smartphone sensors were previously used only as a complementary input whereas now, they are increasingly used ...
