Formal validation of QRS wave within ECG

Electrical sensors are used to detect and record the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time, this operation is referred to as Electrocardiography (ECG) in medical science. Hence ECG is composed of a set of signal waves that repeats themselves and are usually useful in medical diagnosis, where certain ECG patterns and […]

d2-LBDR: Distance-driven routing to handle permanent failures in 2D mesh NoCs

With the advent of deep sub-micron technology, fault-tolerant solutions are needed to keep many-core chips operative. In NoCs, Logic Based Distributed Routing (LBDR) proved to be a flexible routing framework for 2D meshes with link and router faults. However, to provide full coverage, LBDR requires a module named FORKS which replicates some messages. This imposes […]

Anti-theft energy metering for smart electrical distribution system

Accurate metering and billing of actual energy consumed by consumers is integral to commercial management of an electric utility. An aggregate technical and commercial loss in India is around 27% and this is very high in spite of various reforms and measures by electricity boards across country. One of the significant components of these losses […]

Group RNTI for Multi-Users Multiplexing Radio Voice Transmission for Enhancing Voice Capacity over LTE in PMR Context

The Multi-users Multiplexing Radio Voice Transmission method [1] is used for reducing the data overhead of Voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) in the Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) context. In the Multi-users Multiplexing Radio Voice Transmission method, voice packets from different users having the same Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) can be clustered into one […]

Coverage enhancement techniques for machine-to-machine communications over LTE

The tremendous growth of machine-tomachine (M2M) applications has been a great attractor to cellularnetwork operators to provide machine-type communication services. One of the important challenges for cellular systems supporting M2M terminals is coverage, because terminals can be located in spaces in buildings and structures suffering from significant penetration losses. Since these terminals are also often stationary, […]

HomePlug green PHY for the LVDC PLC concept: Applicability study

It has been shown that high-frequency (HF) band power line communication (PLC), that is, the HomePlug 1.0 specification, is feasible for a low-voltage direct current (LVDC) smart grid (SG) system, where power electronics and low-voltage DC are applied to the electricity distribution. In this paper, the applicability of the latest HomePlug specification, Green PHY (GP), […]

Proactive Relay Selection With Joint Impact of Hardware Impairment and Co-Channel Interference

In this paper, we investigate the end-to-end performance of dual-hop proactive decode-and-forward relaying networks with Nth best relay selection in the presence of two practical deleterious effects: i) hardware impairment and ii) co-channel interference. In particular, we derive new exact and asymptotic closed-form expressions for the outage probability and average channel capacity of Nth best partial and […]

Heterogeneity-Aware Codes With Uncoded Repair for Distributed Storage Systems

In practical large-scale distributed storage systems, node failures are unavoidable. It is therefore desirable to quickly recreate the failed nodes in order to maintain the system integrity. In this letter, we consider a family of erasure codes that provide uncoded repair, where the failed node is regenerated by transfer of data without extra arithmetic operations. […]

Innovative propagation mechanism for inter-chip and intra-chip communication

SoC (System on chip) technology has rapidly developed in recent years, stimulating emerging research areas such as investigating the efficacy of wireless network interconnection within a single chip or between multiple chips. However the design of the on-chip antenna faces the challenge of obtaining high radiation efficiency and transmission gain due to conductive loss of the silicon […]

A hardware-in-the-loop simulator for demand response energy management in industrial facilities

Demand response (DR) used in smart grid (SG) can enhance the reliability of the power system as well as reduce the energy costs for customers. One of the major consumers of electrical energy is industry. In this study, we develop a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulator to demonstrate how to practically implement DR in industrial facilities. The […]
