Joint collision resolution and transmit‐power adjustment for Aloha‐type random access
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2013-02-10)
We consider uplink random access for which slotted Aloha has usually been employed with unknown channel conditions. Upon failure of a transmission attempt, a user cannot tell whether the failure was caused by collision ...
A multichannel relay MAC protocol for IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs
(Prentice HallWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2014-11)
A robust design in hardfacing using a plasma transfer arc
(Springer-Verlag, 2006-02)
This paper presents the use of the Taguchi-regression method in developing the optimal plasma transferred arc welding (PTAW) process for obtaining high hardfacing quality characteristics. An “optimal” process means that ...
Self-Tuning Wireless Network Power Management
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science + Business Media, Inc., 2005-07)
Current wireless network power management often substantially degrades performance and may even increase overall energy usage when used with latency-sensitive applications. We propose self-tuning power management (STPM) ...
An Efficient and Robust Computational Framework for Studying Lifetime and Information Capacity in Sensor Networks
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science + Business Media, Inc., 2005-12)
In this paper we investigate the expected lifetime and information capacity , defined as the maximum amount of data (bits) transferred before the first sensor node death due to energy depletion, of a data-gathering wireless ...
A comparative study of bandwidth reservation and admission control schemes in QoS‐sensitive cellular networks
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-07)
This paper compares five different schemes – called CHOI, NAG, AG, BHARG, and NCBF – for reserving bandwidths for handoffs and admission control for new connection requests in QoS‐sensitive cellular networks. CHOI and NAG ...
Modeling and compensation of geometric errors in simultaneous cutting using a multi-spindle machine tool
(Springer-Verlag, 2006-01-18)
A volumetric error compensation method for a machining center that has multiple cutting tools operating simultaneously has been developed. Due to axis sharing, the geometric errors of multi-spindle, concurrent cutting ...
Feature signature prediction of a boring process using neural network modeling with confidence bounds
(Springer Verlag; Springer-Verlag London Limited, 2005-11-18)
Prediction of machine tool failure has been very important in modern metal cutting operations in order to meet the growing demand for product quality and cost reduction. This paper presents the study of building a neural ...
Epidemiology of Yeast Colonization in the Intensive Care Unit
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2000-10)
In order to investigate the epidemiology of colonization and possible transmission of yeasts among patients and healthcare workers in adult intensive care units (ICUs), 194 patients were followed for a mean of 9±11 days ...
