Strategies for Power Line Communications Smart Metering Network Deployment
(MDPI, 2014-04)
Smart Grids are becoming a reality all over the world. Nowadays, the research efforts for the introduction and deployment of these grids are mainly focused on the development of the field of Smart Metering. This emerging ...
Characterisation of Exposure to Non-Ionising Electromagnetic Fields in the Spanish INMA Birth Cohort: Study Protocol
(Biomed Central, 2016-02-18)
Background: Analysis of the association between exposure to electromagnetic fields of non-ionising radiation (EMF-NIR) and health in children and adolescents is hindered by the limited availability of data, mainly due to ...
Rhythm Analysis during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Past, Present, and Future
(Hindawi, 2014-01)
Survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest depends largely on two factors: early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and early defibrillation. CPR must be interrupted for a reliable automated rhythm analysis because chest ...
A Framework for Vulnerability Detection in European Train Control Railway Communications
(Wiley Hindawi, 2018)
Railway systems have evolved considerably in the last years with the adoption of new communication technologies. Aiming to achieve a single European railway network, the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) ...
Advanced Manufacturing Centres, Practical Model to Boost Technology Transfer in Manufacturing
(MDPI, 2019-09)
Establishing collaboration strategies with interdisciplinary networks in research is a crucial success factor for the companies in any sector, especially in manufacturing for aeronautics. In the aeronautical supply chain, ...
The cross layer RMPA handover: a reliable mobility pattern aware handover strategy for broadband wireless communication in a high-speed railway domain
(Springer, 2012)
Enhancing the handover process in broadband wireless communication deployment has traditionally motivated many research initiatives. In a high-speed railway domain, the challenge is even greater. Owing to the long distances ...
Analytical efficiency evaluation of a network mobility management protocol for Intelligent Transportation Systems
(Springer, 2012)
One of the major concerns in an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) scenario, such as that which may be found on a long-distance train service, is the provision of efficient communication services, satisfying users' ...
Implementation Issues of Adaptive Energy Detection in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks
(MDPI AG, 2017-04-23)
Abstract
Spectrum sensing (SS) enables the coexistence of non-coordinated heterogeneous wireless systems operating in the same band. Due to its computational simplicity, energy detection (ED) technique has been widespread ...
Empirical Doppler Characterization of Signals Scattered by Wind Turbines in the UHF Band under Near Field Condition
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)
Time variability of the scattering signals from wind turbines may lead to degradation problems on the communication systems provided in the UHF band, especially under near field condition. In order to analyze the variability ...
Simplified Formulae for the Estimation of Offshore Wind Turbines Clutter on Marine Radars
(Hindawi Publishing, 2014)
The potential impact that offshore wind farms may cause on nearby marine radars should be considered before the wind farm is installed. Strong radar echoes from the turbines may degrade radars' detection capability in the ...
