Error correction codes are widely used in digital communications to improve the Quality of Service. The Quality of Service is typically expressed in terms of maximum acceptable frame error rate and bit error rate. The key implementation issues for most powerful error correction codes are the complexity and overall encoding/decoding latency. In this paper, short-frame turbo product codes for rea...

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have attracted the attention of researchers and general public alike as a means to alleviate traffic congestion. Recently, maturity wireless technology has enabled cost-efficient way achieve ITS by detecting vehicles using Vehicle Infrastructure (V2I) communications. Traditional algorithms, in most cases, assume that every vehicle is observed, such camer...

The human’s visual system detect intensity images. Quite interesting, detector systems have shown the existence of different kind of images. Among them, images obtained by two detectors (detector array or spatially scanning detector) capturing signals within short window times may reveal a hidden image not contained in either isolated detector: Information on this image depend on the two detect...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been broadly deployed in civil applications as it is economically feasible to deploy large number of sensors over a geographic area. Resource constraint is one of the main drawbacks in WSNs by means of limited power sources and communication ranges. Multiple hops approach is therefore always used in WSNs. However, direct communication is feasible when the tw...

BACKGROUND Testing for clustering at multiple ranges within a single dataset is a common practice in spatial epidemiology. It is not documented whether this approach has an impact on the type 1 error rate. METHODS We estimated the family-wise error rate (FWE) for the difference in Ripley's K functions test, when testing at an increasing number of ranges at an alpha-level of 0.05. Case and con...

Vehicular communications networks are envisioned for the access to drive-thru Internet and IP-based infotainment applications. These services are supported by road-side Access Routers (ARs) that connect the Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) to external IP networks. However, VANETs suffer from asymmetric links due to variable transmission ranges caused by mobility, obstacles, and dissimilar trans...
