The coordination of base stations in mobile access networks is an important approach to reduce harmful interference and to deliver high data rates to the users. Such coordination mechanisms, like Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) where multiple BSs transmit data to a user equipment, can be easily implemented when centralizing the data processing of the base stations, known as Cloud RAN. This centr...

In August 2007 Australia experienced its first outbreak of equine influenza. The disease occurred first in a quarantine station for imported horses near Sydney and subsequently escaped into the general horse population. After an extensive campaign the disease was eradicated and Australia is again recognised as free of this disease. Equine influenza was then, and is now, recognised to be the maj...

This paper describes a distributed algorithm for reliable multicast in mobile cellular networks. In the proposed solution the multicast message is flooded to all the base stations over reliable channels. The base stations then collectively ensure that all mobile nodes belonging to the multicast group get the message: the channels between the base station and mobile nodes are unreliable. The ori...

The capabilities and applications of new drones require a high demand of power that traditional batteries cannot sustain, triggering the need of developing strategies to promote efficient energy usage on drone platforms. However, to reduce the energy consumption it is required to have reliable means to measure the device’s behavior and its relationship to the battery discharge. This paper intro...

Femto base stations are usually installed in the region of macrocells in next-generation hybrid macro/femto-cell networks, and the transmit power of macro base stations is much larger than that of femto base stations. Because the conventional handover decision is only based on the received signal strength (RSS), user equipments near the center of macrocells hardly camp on femtocells, even if th...

We study the throughput capacity of hybrid wireless networks. A hybrid network is formed by placing a sparse network of base stations in an ad hoc network. These base stations are assumed to be connected by a high-bandwidth wired network and act as relays for wireless nodes. They are not data sources nor data receivers. Hybrid networks present a tradeoff between traditional cellular networks an...

Abstnrer-Location finding for CDMA subscribers using an antenna army at the base station and deploying multiple base stations is studied in this paper. ' b o metbods are considered for radio location: measured time-of-arrival (TOA) and angle-of-anival (AOA), and algorithms to estimate them are presented. The estimated TOA and AOA fmm different base stations are combined via data fusion to estim...

Drones are driving numerous and evolving use cases, and creating transformative socio-economic benefits. Drone operation needs wireless connectivity for communication between drones and ground control systems, among drones, and between drones and air traffic management systems. Mobile networks are well positioned to identify, track, and control the growing fleet of drones. The wide-area, qualit...

Abstract—In recent years, many researches of the drone (unmanned vehicles) have been carried out. Above all, the drone such as a multi-rotor craft might monitor and track suspicious person and find sufferers from disasters because it can move freely in the air. In the present research, a method was proposed that a multi-rotor drone can track a human by processing the two-dimensional images capt...

This paper studies the capacity of hybrid wireless networks with opportunistic routing (OR). We first extend the opportunistic routing algorithm to exploit high speed data transmissions in infrastructure network through base stations. We then develop linear programming models to calculate the end-to-end throughput bounds from multiple source nodes to single, as well as, multiple destination nod...
