Supporting Mobile Commerce Applications Using Dependable Wireless Networks

Mobile commerce (m-commerce) is an emerging discipline involving applications, mobile devices, middleware, and wireless networks. While most of existing e-commerce applications can be modified to run in a wireless environment, m-commerce also involves many more new applications that become possible only due to the wireless infrastructure. These applications include mobile financial services, us...

Fuzzy Logic Applications in Wireless Communications

A survey of fuzzy logic applications and principles in wireless communications is presented, with the aim of highlighting successful usage of fuzzy logic techniques in applied telecommunications and signal processing. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such study of its kind. This paper will focus firstly on discerning prevalent fuzzy logic or fuzzy-hybrid approaches in the areas o...

Applications of representation theory to wireless communications

In this paper we demonstrate a new and original way to apply the representation theory of finite groups to the development of space-time codes for use in multiple antenna wireless communications. We include a summary of the relevant mathematical model for wireless communications on a multiple-antenna environment. We apply our construction with two examples and demonstrate that they outperform o...

Dependable Wireless Sensor Networks

The explosion in the instrumentation of our environment is driving the need for developing sensor networks that not only observe and measure but that also show a high-level of fault tolerance. Towards this goal, we identify faults and key challenges related to the development and deployment of self-managing dependable sensor networks, on the account of two use cases: a monitoring system and a g...
