We evaluate the outage probability and energy efficiency (EE) of a LoRa network when end-devices (EDs) are capable exchanging messages with device-to-device (D2D) technology. Our proposal is to assess performance operating under concept network-coded cooperation (NCC), where EDs transmitting linear combinations more than one frame (including frames another ED), performed over non-binary finite ...

In this paper the problem of minimum cost communication network design is considered where the costs are piecewise linear concave. Several methods are compared: Simulated Annealing method, a heuristic based on the method proposed by Minoux, and a lagrangian method based on lower bounding procedure.

The current paper investigates the influence of packet losses in network control systems (NCS’s) using the model predictive control (MPC) strategy. The study focuses on two main network packet losses due to sensor to controller and controller to actuator along the communication paths. A new Markov-based method is employed to recursively estimate the probability of time delay in controller to ac...
