Wireless sensor networks have been widely considered as one of the most important 21th century technologies and are used in so many applications such as environmental monitoring, security and surveillance. Wireless sensor networks are used when it is not possible or convenient to supply signaling or power supply wires to a wireless sensor node. The wireless sensor node must be battery powered.C...

The 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) long term evolution (LTE) standard uses single carrier frequency division multiple access (SCFDMA), scheme for the uplink transmissions and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing access (OFDMA) in downlink. SCFDMA makes use of single carrier modulation and frequency domain equalization, it is a technique that has similar performance and essentia...

For a two-user Gaussian multiple access channel (GMAC), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), a well known orthogonal-multiple-access (O-MA) scheme has been preferred to non-orthogonal-multiple-access (NO-MA) schemes since FDMA can achieve the sum-capacity of the channel with only single-user decoding complexity [Chapter 14, Elements of Information Theory by Cover and Thomas]. However, wit...

mobile-ad-hoc-networks (manets) are self-configuring networks of mobile nodes, which communicate through wireless links. the infrastructure of a mobile ad hoc network (manet) has no routers for routing, and all nodes must share the same routing protocol to assist each other when transmitting messages. the main issues in manets include the mobility of the network nodes, the scarcity of computati...

A Wireless Sensor Network consists of several tiny devices which have the capability to sense and compute the environmental phenomenon. These sensor nodes are deployed in remote areas without any physical protections. A Wireless Sensor Network can have various types of anomalies due to some random deployment of nodes, obstruction and physical destructions. These anomalies can diminish the sensi...

A current trend in the evolution of mobile communication networks consists integrating Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) with Terrestrial ones. One option to implement NTN part this hybrid architecture using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) that relay uplink radio signals through optical wireless backhaul links. good choice for waveform is conventional SC-FDMA, which mitigates PAPR and enables a lon...

Wireless sensor networks(WSN) have unique properties that distinguished them from other wireless networks and have special challenges. Not-chargeable, not-changeable and limited power supplies of sensor nodes is the most important challenge of this networks, and if the power supply of node expired, a part of data maybe lost. Because of the importance of covers in wireless sensors, in this work ...

Body area networks is one of the types of wireless area networks which has been created to optimize utilizing hospital resources and for earlier diagnosis of medical symptoms, and ultimately to reduce the cost of medical care. This network like most of the wireless networks is without infrastructure and the embedded sensor nodes in the body have limited energy. Hence, the early power completion...

ad hoc networks are multi-hop wireless networks without a pre-installed infrastructure. such networks are widely used in military applications and in emergency situations as they permit the establishment of a communication network at very short notice with a very low cost. video is very sensitive for packet loss and wireless ad-hoc networks are error prone due to node mobility and weak links. h...
