Enhancement of voltage profile by incorporation of SVC in power system networks by using optimal load flow method in MATLAB/Simulink environments Abstract-Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) controllers could be a suitable alternative to provide reactive power support at the load centers locally and hence keep the voltages within their safe operating limits. Due to high…
Enhancing Mobile Networks With Software Defined Networking and Cloud Computing Abstract– In the past decade, mobile devices and applications have experienced an explosive growth, and users are expecting higher data rates and better quality services every year. In this paper, we propose several ideas to increase the functionality and capacity of wireless networks using software-defined…
Epidemic Attacks in Network-Coding Enabled Wireless Mesh Networks: Detection, Identification and Evaluation Abstract?Epidemic attack is a severe security problem in network-coding-enabled wireless mesh networks (WMNs). Malicious nodes can easily launch such form of attack to create an epidemic spreading of polluted packets and deplete network resources. The contribution of this work is to address such…
Estimation of Sparse MIMO Channels with Common Support Abstract?Estimation of Sparse MIMO Channels with Common Support. We consider the problem of estimating sparse communication channels in the MIMO context. In small to medium bandwidth communications, as in the current standards for OFDM and CDMA communication systems (with bandwidth up to 20 MHz), such channels are…
Exploring Connected Dominating Sets in Energy Harvest Networks Abstract-Duty-cycle scheduling is an effective way to balance energy consumptions and prolong network lifetime of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which usually requires a connected dominating set (CDS) to guarantee network connectivity andcoverage. Therefore, the problem of finding the largest number of CDSs is important for WSNs. The…
FaceChange: Attaining Neighbor Node Anonymity in Mobile Opportunistic Social Networks with Fine-grained Control Abstract-In mobile opportunistic social networks (MOSNs),mobile devices carried by people communicate with each other directly when they meet for proximity-based MOSN services (e.g., file sharing) without the support of infrastructures. In current methods, when nodes meet, they simply communicate with their real…
Detecting Malicious Facebook Applications Abstract?Privacy has been the key road block to cloud computing as clouds may not be fully trusted. This paper is concerned with the problem of privacy-preserving range query processing on clouds. Prior schemes are weak in privacy protection as they cannot achieve index indistinguishability, and therefore allow the cloud to statistically…
Fast Transmission to Remote Cooperative Groups:A New Key Management Paradigm sequence and plain text Abstract? The problem of efficiently and securely broadcasting to a remote cooperative group occurs in many newly emerging networks. A major challenge in devising such systems is to overcome the obstacles of the potentially limited communication from the group to…
Fault Detection of Electric Power Transmission Line by Using Neural Network Abstract-A fault occurs when two or more conductors come in contact with each other or ground. Ground faults are considered as one of the main problems in power systems and account for more than 80% of all faults. This paper focuses on detecting faults…
Feature Selection by Maximizing Independent Classification Information Abstract? Feature selection approaches based on mutual information can be roughly categorized into two groups. The first group minimizes the redundancy of features between each other. The second group maximizes the new classification information of features providing for the selected subset. A critical issue is that large new…
Feedforward Proportional Carrier-Based PWM for Cascaded H-bridge PV Inverter Abstract-In this paper, a feedforward proportional carrier-based pulse width modulation (PWM) is proposed for the DC link control of the single phase cascaded H-bridge multilevel PV inverter. The conventional carrier-based PWM techniques, such as the phase-shifted PWM and the level-shifted PWM, require multiple individual DC voltage…
