A promising solution satisfying the industry’s demand to have minimum alterations in LTE for its operation in unlicensed spectrum is duty cycled LTE-U scheme, which adopts discontinuous transmission to ensure fair coexistence with 802.11 (Wi-Fi) WLANs. Even though the scheme guarantees to maintain Wi-Fi network performance, the fairness among Wi-Fi users still remains arcane. In this work, we p...

One of the most frequently used methods in the speech disfluence therapy is the one based on the acoustical echo. A patient, who is a subject to therapy, hears his own voice with some delay and, thanks to that, his speech fluency increases. As it turned out a therapeutic effect can also be achieved by feedback of the speech with other human senses, such as touch or sight. The article presents a...

The purpose of this project is to alleviate the stress associated with an alarm clock by giving it features that make the experience of waking up in the morning more enjoyable. The alarm clock will be able to connect to an existing wireless network on which the user runs a personal computer that stores a personal music collection. The user can configure the alarm clock to connect to this collec...

The growth in mobile data traffic is forcing network operators to find ways deliver higher bandwidth, better coverage, and quality of service (QoS) at lower development costs. One method that can be used meet this need the aggregation technique. Aggregation techniques run on several different technologies are called heterogeneous networks (HetNet). Recently, some advanced have been proposed agg...

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) are popular wireless communication techniques with the development of integrated combo chips, it is common these days that a single mobile/edge/IoT device supports both BLE. Given two have clearly different pros cons (e.g., high throughput vs. low power consumption), can experience significant performance improvement if link layers utilized adaptively accord...
