Ethernet has evolved from a local area to a wide area network technology. When it is used in a service provider environment, it has more complex requirements, which demand a set of management techniques for the Ethernet layer. Ethernet OAM comprises a set of management techniques for Carrier (or Metropolitan) Ethernet networks. Carrier Ethernet devices often have IP connectivity for management ...

Buildings can become a significant contributor to an energy system’s resilience if they are operated in coordinated manner exploit their flexibility multi-carrier networks. However, research and innovation activities focused on single-carrier optimization (i.e., electricity), aiming achieve Zero Energy Buildings, miss the that buildings may offer through multi-energy coupling. In this paper, we...

Because of participation in many aspects of human life, and due to oxidation-sensitive characteristics of dopamine (DA) and arachidonoyl dopamine (AA-DA), the necessity of biocompatible carrier to keep them against oxidation is of importance. In this work, we explored the putative binding sites of DA and AA-DA to -lactoglobulin (BLG) as potent carrier. Docking results identified the binding si...

Latest trend in research tend to fulfill requirements of the most talked about 5G networks. These networks need to be be engineered in terms of cost, energy and spectral efficiency, number of connected devices and latency. Cognitive Radio (CR) is one of the promising techniques to meet the above mentioned requirements that operates at microwave frequencies and exploits underutilized spectrum ba...

Driven by advances in signal processing and multiuser detection (MUD) technologies, it has become possible for a wireless node to simultaneously receive multiple signals from other transmitters. In order to take full advantage of MUD in multi-packet reception (MPR) capable wireless networks, it is highly desirable to make the compound signals frommultiple transmitters more separable on its cons...

THE increasing concern for environmental and cost issues has made energy efficiency in telecom networks an important theme. According to a recent report [1], today’s networks are wasting a lot of energy by consuming 10,000 times more energy than what is really needed. The Internet currently consumes about 0.4% of the total electricity in broadband-enabled countries and is foreseen to quickly re...

in recent years wireless sensor networks have attracted researchers' attention due to vast applications. one of the most prominent issues regarding these networks is coverage which is considered as a quality of service parameter. in this study, we try to address energy shortage in wsns through finding a set of optimal coverage nodes in a specific environment. this is performed utilizing effecti...

Exploiting multi-carrier access offers a promising direction to boost access quality in mobile networks. However, our experiments show that, the current practice does not achieve the full potential of this approach because it has not utilized fine-grained, cellular-specific domain knowledge. In this work, we propose iCellular, which exploits low-level cellular information at the device to impro...

The Data Timed Sending (DTS) protocol contributes to the energy savings in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and prolongs the sensor nodes’ battery lifetime. DTS saves energy by transmitting short packets, without data payload, from the sensor nodes to the base station or the cluster head according to the Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) scheduling. Placing the short packets into appropriate ...
