People must constantly select among potential thoughts and actions in the face of competition from (a) multiple task-relevant options (underdetermined competition) and (b) strongly dominant options that are not appropriate in the current context (prepotent competition). These types of competition are ubiquitous during language production. In this work, we investigate the neural mechanisms that ...

This work focuses on interference networks with secrecy constraints. For the two user channel, a scheme that allows users to cooperatively inject (decodable and undecodable) randomness is proposed. The results unveil the role of interference in secure network design. Next, the focus is shifted to arbitrarily high (but finite) number of users with asymptotically high signal to noise ratios. Util...

Integrating visible light communication (VLC) with conventional radio frequency (RF)-enabled wireless networks has been shown to improve the achievable data rates of mobile users. This paper provides a stochastic geometry framework to perform the coverage and rate analysis of a typical user in co-existing VLC and RF networks covering a large indoor area. The developed framework can be customize...

As mobile data traffic increases, and the number of services provided by the mobile network increases, service load flows as well, which requires changing in the principles, models, and strategies for media transmission streams serving to guarantee the given nature of giving a wide scope of services in Flexible and cost-effective. Right now, the fundamental question remains what number of netwo...

In this paper, a new virtual leader following consensus protocol is introduced to perform the internal and string stability analysis of longitudinal platoon of vehicles under generic network topology. In all previous studies on multi-agent systems with generic network topology, the control parameters are strictly dependent on eigenvalues of network matrices (adjacency or Laplacian). Since some ...
