The Max Mathews’ Radio Baton (RB) has usually been applied as an orchestra conducting system, as interactive music composition controller using typical percussionist gestures, and as a controller for sound synthesis models. In the framework of the Sounding Object EU founded project, the RB has found new applications scenarios. Three applications were based on this controller. This was achieved ...

In this paper, received signal strength indicator (RSSI) is studied for various deployment environments in wireless sensor networks. The accurate RSSI estimation can improve the accuracy of several algorithms used in localization, mobility, and routing. The experiments are conducted to investigate the variation in RSSI values with respect to: a) distance between transmitter and receiver, b) non...

High water temperatures and low water quality may negatively influence wound healing, growth and transmitter retention in radio-tagged fish of tropical and subtropical water bodies which in turn may hamper radio tracking studies. For a period of 90 days, we compared growth of an experimental group of ten Rhamdia quelen, which were submitted to intraperitoneal dummy transmitter implantation, wit...

The cognitive radio has been considered as a promising paradigm to achieve efficient spectrum usage by allowing the coexistence of the primary and cognitive radio networks. One fundamental challenge is to ensure the quality of service (QoS) of the primary link while maximizing the achievable transmission rate of the cognitive radio user. In this paper, we investigate the cooperation based spect...

This paper presents the throughput comparison at the fully functional device and reduced functional devices of IEEE 802.15.4 with different modulation schemes for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). From the simulations it is revealed that Minimum Shift Keying (MSK) is best suited for all types of devices in 802.15.4 for wireless sensor networks if throughput is to be maximized. Simulations also r...
