In order to cope with the environmental impacts onBluetooth data transmission diversity techniques wereexamined. A Bluetooth antenna diversity demonstratorwas developed. Extensive experimental investigationsdocumenting the significant improvements of ...

A review of Mobile Applications: Architecture, Design, and Development by Valentino Lee, Heather Schneider, and Robbie Schell.

In the last years, wireless sensor networks have been proposed for their deployment in underwater environments where a lot of applications like aquiculture, pollution monitoring and offshore exploration would benefit from this technology. Despite having ...

We study a traffic measurement issue for active queue management and dynamic bandwidth allocation at a single network node under the constraint of Cell Loss Probability (CLP) or buffer overflow probability. Using the concept of measurement-based Virtual ...

TiltType is a novel text entry technique for mobile devices. To enter a character, the user tilts the device and presses one or more buttons. The character chosen depends on the button pressed, the direction of tilt, and the angle of tilt. TiltType consumes ...

Predicting the location of a mobile wireless user is an inherently interesting and challenging problem. Location prediction has received increasing interest over the past decade, driven by applications in location management, call admission control, ...

Integrating wireless LAN (WLAN) techniques with the third generation cellular networks has become a promising way to improve the performance of wireless systems. As WLANs play an important role in such heterogeneous systems, the performance of WLANs ...

This paper presents and analyzes IPNL (for IP Next Layer), a NAT-extended Internet protocol architecture designed to scalably solve the address depletion problem of IPv4. A NAT-extended architecture is one where only hosts and NAT boxes are modified. ...

Plant structure, representing the physical link among different organs, includes many similar substructures. In this paper, a new method is presented to construct plant architectural models of most plant species. The plant structure is decomposed into ...

A bit-sliced digital implementation method of the cellular sensor-computer is proposed. The proposed sensor-computer architecture is analysed, and an implementation example is introduced. The analogue and the digital implementation methods are compared. ...

We consider a state-based dynamic location management scheme, in which the user is partitioned into different mobility state set, and his location area size is changed dynamically corresponding to the state set that he belongs to. Comparing with the ...

Abstract¿Recently, broadcasting has attracted considerable attention as a means of disseminating information to large client populations in both wired and wireless settings. In this paper, we consider broadcasting multiple versions of data items to increase ...

With the fast growth of Internet services, the demand for wireless high speed and advanced multimedia communications is rapidly increasing. Initial multimedia services have already been offered in the second generation systems (2-G). Currently, the ...

Side-channel attacks compare side-channel leakage predictions or estimations with side-channel leakage measurements. The estimations are based on the exact value of a few select state bits. If it is impossible to calculate the value of the state bits, ...

In this paper we study the main performance problems experienced by Web applications in Cellular Wireless networks. To this extend we identify the particular problems at each protocol layer (transport, session and application layer). We present our practical ...

This paper proposes MiniMesh, an opportunistic transmission mechanism for the IEEE 802.15.3 medium access control (MAC) protocol; a key technology to realizing wireless personal area networks (WPANs). MiniMesh exploits the varying channel conditions ...

This paper describes a system for ubiquitous interaction that does not require users to carry any physical devices. In this system, the environment is instrumented with camera/processor combinations that watch users while protecting their privacy. Any ...
