Recently, heterogeneous networks (HetNet) have been widely studied as an effective approach to provide high network capacity and coverage, which jointly utilizes the technologies of cognitive radio and cooperative communications. However, the dense and random deployment of small-cells (e.g., micro, pico and femtocells) raises important questions about the energy consumption for HetNets. In this...

Artificial Intelligence has always lent a helping hand to the practitioners of medicine for improving medical diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, we propose the design of a two tier Neural Inter-network based Medical Diagnosis System (NIMD) that uses k-Nearest Neighbor Classification for Diagnosis pruning. The system (fig a.) is essentially two tiered with the first tier handling what we te...

Current leadership election algorithms do not explicitly plan for the failure of the leader, and thus must do system wide elections each time a leader fails. To this end we propose an algorithm that removes the need for system wide elections after a leadership failure. Our technique has an initial system wide election to elect a leader, and after the leader is confirmed chooses subordinates wit...

Content dissemination networks are pervasive in todays’ Internet. Examples of content dissemination networks include peer-to-peer networks (P2P), content distribution networks (CDN) and information centric networks (ICN). In this paper, we propose a new system design for information centric networks which leverages opportunistic searching, routing and caching. Our system design is based on an h...

An efficient and well-operated network is designed so that its parts function well together. This coordinated efficiency arises from having each element of a network perform those tasks for which it is best designed. Similar to the division of labor in a human society, the division of labor amongst elements in a communications network allows them to maximize the network’s output (e.g., bandwidt...
