A frequency agile transmitter design for cognitive radio applications in the TV band -

Abou Shahine, Mohamad Youssef, (2015)

With the growth of mobile data applications and the development of communication systems, the spectrum is becoming very scarce. To ease congestion and boost speeds, cognitive radio (CR) is currently seen as a major solution. ...
A nonlinear adaptive framework for the estimation of causal interactions among multivariate data in brain signal recordings -

Eid, Ursula Charbel, (2016)

Modeling of dynamical systems is a challenging task in numerous fields, such as neuroscience, control, and econometrics. For instance, the noisy and complex nature of many biological signals, such as the electroencephalogram ...
A smart resource allocation algorithm for D2D communications in cellular networks -

Sulahian, Hrant Roupen, (2015)

In LTE Rel-12, 3GPP proposed device-to-device (D2D) communications as a promising solution to the tremendous increase in the number of mobile users and bandwidth requirements, which has put strict limitations on the already ...
A study on liquid state machine for pattern recognition -

Al Zoubi, Obada Mohammad Yasser, (2016)

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) are a new promising approach for machine learning because they increase the ratio of biological realism, and thus the ability to capture complex data patterns. SNNs belong to the third ...
A transmission network expansion game -

Jaber, Mira Samer, (2016)

The transmission network plays a critical role in the electricity market. Nowadays, making decisions concerning network investments has become harder due to the new patterns of electricity consumption and the competition ...
An identity based security framework for advanced metering infrastructure -

Seferian, Vahe Sarkis, (2016)

The smart grid represents the next generation power grid and will have a substantial role in increasing the reliability and sustainability of energy production and distribution of power delivery networks. Particularly, the ...
An information theoretic treatise on univariate alpha-stable distributions -

Fahs, Jihad Jawad, (2016)

Many communication channels are reasonably modeled to be impaired by additive noise. A Central Limit Theorem (CLT) argument is widely adopted to model the noise as a Gaussian variable. A deeper investigation shows that the ...
Assessment of in-app ads security vulnerabilities and resource consumption -

Mouawi, Riwa Haidar, (2016)

Mobile advertising using in-app ads has increased in popularity along with the substantial number of current free mobile applications in the app stores. This relatively new type of advertising has raised several concerns ...
Battery modeling for life time assessment -

Asaad, Amal Mohammad, (2017)

Batteries have played a crucial role in power systems of different sizes, ranging from small portable electronic devices, to hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), as well as storage devices in renewable systems. The two main ...
Coordinated feeder reconfiguration and Volt-VAr control -

Khazem, Ali Hassan, (2016)

Electrical distribution networks have a meshed structure, however they are normally operated as radial. Thus, these networks can benefit from feeder reconfiguration algorithms to improve the efficiency and reliability of ...
Coordinated multipoint in heterogeneous networks with overlap within microcell expanded regions -

Khoriaty, Jessica Jawad, (2016)

The Third Generation Partnership Program’s (3GPP) is developing further enhancements to Long Term Evolution Systems known as LTE Advanced (LTE-A). These modifications are aimed at fulfilling the requirements of a fourth ...
DAGGER : Distributed Architecture for Granular Mitigation of Mobile Based Attacks -

Bakhit, Khaled Abdul Nasser, (2015)

Over the past years, the world has witnessed sharp advancements in the field of mobile phones. What used to be known as a limited-feature mobile device for basic tasks has evolved into becoming a pocket size computer with ...
Decision theory under “quantized filtering” -

Jalaleddine, Sara Ahmad, (2016)

Convolution is an important operation in signal processing and analysis. It is a mathematical operation on two input functions which results in a third function that is typically viewed as a transformed version of one of ...
Degrees of freedom and impairments in massive MIMO systems -

Abdessamad, Wissam Oussama, (2016)

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems is an emerging technology that is paving its way into wireless communication systems. Massive MIMO consists of tens or hundreds of antennas, which will result in huge ...
Design and feasibility of a small NegaWatt power plant -

Sbeity, Dana Fawzi, (2014)

The global energy consumption, and hence GHG emissions, have increased significantly over the past two decades due to the increase in the population size, rapid developments in many large countries, and the technological ...
Effect of plasma density fluctuations on the lower hybrid power spectrum -

Madi, Mervat Akram (2015)

Radio frequency waves at the Lower Hybrid (LH) frequency are widely used in tokamak plasmas for driving a large fraction of the toroidal current. Consequently, evolution of the LH wave inside the plasma has been an important ...
Energy aware scheduler for cloud computing tasks in a datacenter environment -

El Zarif, Nizar Rabih, (2014)

The average power consumption per datacenter is around 1 MW per year, making the power consumption of one datacenter equivalent to that of a small town. It is estimated that the state-of-the-art datacenter consumes around ...
Facial expression recognition from images for various head poses -

Trad, Chadi Hanna, (2015)

In the process of facial expression detection from image or video modalities, the variation of head poses with respect to the camera causes a challenging problem for any robust recognition. Several studies have been conducted ...
GUICop : specification based GUI testing -

Hammoud, Dalal Samir, (2015)

Oracles used for testing graphical user interface (GUI) programs are required to take into consideration complex non-functional factors such as variations in screen resolution or color scheme. To accommodate this aspect ...
Hardware design and implementation of a crypto system -

Awedikian, Serove Vartan, (2017)

Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) promises better security with less computational costs than other contemporary public cryptographic schemes. A cryptosystem based on ECC can find applications in a variety of computing and ...
