in today's design, system complexity and increasing demand for safer, more efficient and less costly systems have created new challenges in science and engineering. locomotives are products which are designed according to market order and technical needs of customers. accordingly, targets of companies, especially designers and manufacturers of locomotives, have always been on the path of progre...

Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems allow the transmission of rich multimedia services by utilizing the Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS) over a Single Frequency Network (MBSFN). During MBSFN transmission a time-synchronized common waveform is transmitted from multiple cells. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has specified that Point-to-Multipoint (PTM) transmission can be...

Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems have been specified and designed to accommodate small, high performance, power-efficient, end-user devices. The evolved Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (e-MBMS) feature is introduced by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) as a complement to the existing MBMS service in order to accommodate multicast groups that are interested in receiving the s...

—We consider adaptive-rate multicasting of video streams compressed by using Scalable Video Coding (SVC) over cellular wireless networks. Base station nodes coordinate the scheduling of their downlink transmissions to mitigate intercell interference; as well as, at times, to direct the multicast transmission of the same video streams to a group of clients, as implemented in a Multicast-Broadca...

This paper investigates the resource management problem in the relay-enhanced long term evolution advanced (LTE-A) systems. The challenges of this resource allocation problem arise from the complication of assigning transmission links to the multicast broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) subframe within the numerous physical resource block (PRB) pair. Existing research work does not fully...

Distributed antenna network (DAN) is a promising wireless network which can mitigate the impacts of distancedependent/shadowing losses and fading. Frequency-domain space-time block coded-joint transmit/receive diversity (FDSTBC-JTRD) is an antenna diversity technique which allows an arbitrary number of transmit antennas while keeping the coding rate constant and is suitable for the downlink tra...

Oscillations in electrical activity are a characteristic feature of many brain networks and display a wide variety of temporal patterns. A network may express a single oscillation frequency, alternate between two or more distinct frequencies, or continually express multiple frequencies. In addition, oscillation amplitude may fluctuate over time. The origin of this complex repertoire of activity...
