This paper presents transceivers and a wireless power delivery system for a Body-Area Network (BAN) that uses an e-textiles-based physical layer (PHY) capable of linking a diverse set of sensor nodes monitoring vital signs on the user’s body. A central base station in the network controls power delivery and communication resource allotment for every node using a general-purpose on-chip Node Net...

This paper presents summaries of five research and development activities in intelligent distributed simulation and control of power plants which were presented in a panel session of the same name at the IEEE Power Engineering Society Winter Meeting on February 6, 1997 in New York City. Each of the panelists discussed methods of how they have incorporated intelligent systems techniques into the...

We analyze aggregate throughput as a function of the transmitter power levels and the number of terminals sending data to a CDMA base station. We find that when noise and outof-cell interference are negligible, received power balancing maximizes the aggregate throughout of the base station, provided the population of active terminals does not exceed an optimum size. The optimum number of active...

The response time of the smart electrical vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure is the key index of the system performance. The traffic between the smart EV charging station and the control center dominates the response time of the smart charging stations. To accelerate the response of the smart EV charging station, there is a need for a technology that collects the information locally and relay...

Resource scheduling is essential in order to provide suitable signal quality and to achieve good channel eÆciency in wireless mobile networks. A novel algorithm is proposed for controlling the transmitter power and transmission rate of mobile calls cooperatively. Previous work has focused on handling them separately. The proposed scheme is called the Genetic Algorithm for Mobiles Equilibrium (G...

This paper assesses radio frequency exposure of a mobile handset user in the context of a new class of cellular base station: the femtocell. Traditional cellular network construction relies on using a single base station to cover a large area and serve dozens to hundreds of users. The femtocell (named after the minuscule size of the coverage area) provides a low-power in-home cellular connectio...
