Nowadays, mobile communications face new challenges in its evolution: The convergence of wireless cellular networking and TCP/IP architecture. In addition, Internet protocols do not support mobility, so different mechanisms to offer seamless mobility have been proposed. The fourth generation (4G) IP-based wireless networks have lead IP level the ideal candidate where mobility should be implemen...

Experimental system of IP mobility management was designed and implemented in order to confirm feasibility of the protocol and identify its bottlenecks. The experimental system is based on a prototype implementation of IP mobility management which runs on PC servers. Series of experiments were conducted in order to check validity of protocol sequence and impact of load status on system performa...

Telepresence robot extends operation in remote locations. This feature can be beneficial for several applications, such as subsea exploration, telesurgery, remote physical presence, etc. Especially, the remote physical presence application will enable individuals with mobility limitations such as disabled veteran or police officer to perform regular duties through telepresence robots known as T...

Mobile health (mHealth) applications are increasingly seen as cost-effective alternatives for hospital care. In this paper, it is investigated whether a smart phone microphone-based application can replace a more common differential-pressure spirometry sensor. Moreover, we investigate the steps that are needed to implement an application that uses a sensor to mimic another sensor, for which its...
