— Channel estimation error problem is among the main causes of performance degradation in wireless networks. In this paper, we investigate the impact of cooperative communication...
Abstract—A characterization of the dynamic narrowband onbody to off-body area channel is presented based on realtime measurements of the time domain channel response at carrier f...

—Biometric authentication is emerging as the promising solution to conventional cryptography based authentication technologies. However, protecting users’ biometric templates s...
Abstract—Rateless coding ensures reliability by providing everincreasing redundancy, traditionally at the packet level (i.e. the application layer) through erasure coding. This p...
—In this paper, we explore the feasibility of using Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) for rural public safety. First, we discuss a QoS enhancement to a standard routing protocol, D...

Abstract— This paper introduces two new tree-based anticollision schemes using multiple feedback symbols for uplink tag random access of emerging radio frequency identification (...
—Finding the most likely path satisfying a requested additive Quality-of-Service (QoS) value, such as delay, when link metrics are defined as random variables by known probabili...
Abstract—In fractional cooperation, many relays simultaneously assist the source, and each relay is responsible to relay only a fraction of the source transmission. In this paper...
