Iterative companding transform and filtering for reducing PAPR of OFDM signal
Publication Year: 2015,Page(s):144 - 150
Cited by: Papers (20)
In this paper, an efficient Iterative Companding Transform and Filtering (ICTF) technique is proposed for reducing the Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signal. By means of a specially designed iterative procedure, ICTF is able to obtain both an improved Bit Error Rate (BER) and minimized Out-of-Band Interference (OBI) while reducing the PAPR s...Show More

Load scheduling over cyclic electrical devices can reduce the peak power demand. In this paper, we propose a machine-learning-integrated load control (MILC) scheme for improved performance and reliability. By dynamic capacity adjustment and interactive load heuristic, MILC tries to reduce the power deviation while keeping the temperature violation ratio and switching counts within an acceptable ra...Show More

User-friendly monitoring system for residential PV system based on low-cost power line communication
Publication Year: 2015,Page(s):175 - 180
Cited by: Papers (47)
A photovoltaic (PV) system has been widely deployed in residential areas to reduce energy cost. However, it is not monitored in detail or managed in a user-friendly manner in many cases. Therefore, a PV monitoring system needs to provide both detailed monitoring of each PV module and a user-friendly way of access to the monitored data. In addition, the PV monitoring system needs to be low-cost to ...Show More
Simultaneous mobile sink allocation in home environments with applications in mobile consumer robotics
Publication Year: 2015,Page(s):181 - 188
Cited by: Papers (12)
This paper presents a novel mobile sink area allocation scheme for consumer based mobile robotic devices with a proven application to robotic vacuum cleaners. In the home or office environment, rooms are physically separated by walls and an automated robotic cleaner cannot make a decision about which room to move to and perform the cleaning task. Likewise, state of the art cleaning robots do not m...Show More
Acoustic event filterbank for enabling robust event recognition by cleaning robot

Due to its mobile capability when performing house-cleaning function in absence of home owners, a cleaning robot has sufficient capacity to be fully utilized as an automatic surveillance system for indoor security. While many research efforts have been made recently to provide a robot understand the auditory environment, there are still many obstacles to overcome. One of the most serious challenge...Show More
Mobile agent-based cross-layer anomaly detection in smart home sensor networks using fuzzy logic
Publication Year: 2015,Page(s):197 - 205
Cited by: Papers (42)
Despite the rapid advancements in consumer electronics, the data transmitted by sensing devices in a smart home environment are still vulnerable to anomalies due to node faults, transmission errors, or attacks. This affects the reliability of the received sensed data and may lead to the incorrect decision making at both local (i.e., smart home) and global (i.e., smart city) levels. This study intr...Show More
Extending lifetime of flash memory using strong error correction coding
Publication Year: 2015,Page(s):206 - 214
Demand for flash memory based storage systems is on the rise because flash memory has many advantages when compared with hard disk drives, such as lower latency and resistance to physical shock. However, flash memory permits only a limited number of program/erase (P/E) cycles, and after the guaranteed number of P/E cycles, data cannot be reliably retrieved due to uncorrectable errors. Given a targ...Show More
