: In this paper, a novel approach to the problem of estimating the heavy–tail exponent α > 0 of a distribution is proposed. It is based on the fact that block–maxima of siz...
Most of the existing literature on cooperative relay networks has focused on frequency– nonselective channels or frequency–selective channels with multi–carrier transmission...
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have emerged recently as a technology for providing high-speed last mile connectivity in next-generation wireless networks. Several MAC protocols tha...
Abstract—In cognitive radio networks (CRNs), detecting smallscale primary devices, such as wireless microphones, is a challenging, but very important, problem that has not yet be...
Abstract--We present an application of a modified KalmanFilter (KF) framework for data fusion to the estimation of respiratory rate from multiple physiological sources which is rob...
