The analysis in this paper concerns the performance of smart antenna algorithms when used in code-division multiple access (CDMA) wireless communication systems. Complex pseudonoise (PN) spreading, despreading, and pilot-aided channel estimates in the cdma2000 reverse link are some of major characteristics that are different from those in the IS-95 CDMA systems. These different features are inc...

Smart grid concept is introduced to modify the power grid by utilizing new information and communication technology. Smart grid needs live power consumption monitoring to provide required services and for this issue, bi-directional communication is essential. Security and privacy are the most important requirements that should be provided in the communication. Because of the complex design of s...

Power analysis is a very successful cryptanalytic technique which extracts secret information from smart cards by analysing the power consumed during the execution of their internal programs. It is a passive attack in the sense that it can be applied in an undetectable way during normal interaction with the smart card without modifying the card or the protocol in any way. The attack is particul...

Indian giant power system is facing the various problems. Due to these problems, the growth of electricity market is very slow. The present grid system in this country is incapable to handle these discrepancies. To handle these discrepancies and other typical snags in power system, there is a need to complete automation. Viewing these problems Smart Grid technologies is to be introduce/embedded...

Smart Grid is an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) enabled Power grid. It is efficient, secure, reliable and self-healing power grid. Integration of micro grids, electric vehicles and other utilities make it more interesting. The deregulation of electricity sector has necessitated the use of many advanced software and embedded technologies to handle the size and complexity of power...

“The concept of ‘smart powerSmart power’—the intelligent integration and networking diplomacy, defense, development, other tools so-called ‘hard soft’ power—is at the very heart President ObamaObama, Barack Secretary Clinton’s policy vision.”

Abstract—Smart home is one of the main applications of internet of things, and it will realize the intellectualization of household. Smart socket is part of the smart home, which can be controlled remotely by power supplied, monitor utilization condition, communication network and other functions. This article mainly introduces the intelligent electrical outlet of each hardware modules; softwar...

Author: Andre Szykier CEO/CTO GridPlex Networks LLC Copyright © 2010 P ag e1 Demand Response and Grid Management are power utility initiatives driven by Federal and State stimulus programs to make the electric grid more reliable, secure and intelligent. The first step in making a grid “smart” is by replacing existing end user power utility meters with smart meters that support bi-directional co...

Due to climate change issues, fossil fuel depletion and increasing economic pressure, "smart" cities will have significantly altered physical, social and economic systems, built upon smart infrastructure. Key infrastructure is energy, with focus on electricity. The paradigm of physical, data transfer and information flow layers of the smart city power grid is shown. Challenges of the new urban ...
