In the context of IEEE 802.22 networks, the hidden incumbent problem refers to a situation in which a consumer premise equipment (CPE) is within the protection region of an operating incumbent but it fails to report the existence of the incumbent to its base station (BS). In such a scenario, CPEs within the incumbent’s transmission range may not be able to decode the BS signal because of the st...

Automated processes in distributed communication environments require tools for unifying heterogeneous multimedia services. The Teleservice Descriptor is introduced for generic handling and integration of traditional and innovative forms of communication. The Intelligent Resource Selector applies this descriptor for dynamic selection of communication end points and combination of necessary conv...

This paper critically examines attempts to revitalize the comparative political economy model in contrast to analyses based on a globalization perspective. The organized market economy approach of Peter Hall is seen as a more inviting version of the CPE model. The political dilemmas facing national governments in an era of globalization are examined through a discussion of the economic policies...

For most of the applications in wireless sensor networks, localization is fundamental and essential. The localization systems can be categorized into two types: range-based and rangefree. In this paper, we propose a new range-free localization algorithm. The basic principle of this algorithm is to define two classes of nodes according to the number of anchors in the neighborhood, and then to ap...
