MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) transmission is a promising technology to improve the frequency usage efficiency in mobile radio communications. In this letter, MIMO transmission with eigenbeam space division multiplexing (E-SDM) is focused on and the site-dependent beamforming characteristics is examined to know the transmission characteristics. Site-dependent radiowave direction of arri...

SNMPv3, a simple network management protocol, is secure in unicasting communications (i.e., point-to-point or end-to-end transmission). Furthermore, a manager and an agent can authenticate and exchange secure transmission between each other with no time delay or replay. In this paper, we extend the SNMPv3 unicasting security solution to be applicable in multicasting applications. In addition, w...

We formulate and analyze a delay differential equation model for the transmission of West Nile virus between vector mosquitoes and avian hosts that incorporates maturation delay for mosquitoes. The maturation time from eggs to adult mosquitoes is sensitive to weather conditions, in particular the temperature, and the model allows us to investigate the impact of this maturation time on transmiss...

This paper discusses the compensation of the transmission delay in a networked control system (NCS) with a state feedback, which possesses a randomly varying transmission delay and uncertain process parameters. The compensation is implemented by using a buffer in the actuator node and a state estimator in the controller node. A Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) based sufficient condition for the s...

Interleaving enhances the quality of digital transmission over the radio fading channel. This enhancement comes at the cost of introducing additional time-delay, memory space requirements, and system complexity. This paper describes commonly used interleaving techniques. It addresses the realization and performance of a convolutional interleaver that cuts down time-delay and memory space increa...

This paper considers an epidemic model of a vector-borne disease which has direct mode of transmission in addition to the vector-mediated transmission. The incidence term is assumed to be of the bilinear mass-action form. We include both a baseline ODE version of the model, and, a differential-delay model with a discrete time delay. The ODE model shows that the dynamics is completely determined...

The decrease in muscle strength in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is mainly explained by a decrease in the number of active contractile elements. Nevertheless, it is possible that other electrochemical and force transmission processes may contribute. The present study aimed to quantify the effect of DMD on the relative contribution of electrochemical and force transmission comp...

This paper proposes a mechanism for the congestion control for video transmission over universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS). Our scheme is applied when the mobile user experiences real-time multimedia content and adopts the theory of a widely accepted rate control method in wired networks, namely equation-based rate control. In this approach, the transmission rate of the multimedia...

We propose a novel data collection architecture, called Ring-based Information Collection Architecture (RICA), for sensor networks. In the RICA scheme, sensors are organised into a ring. According to our study, the transmission delay time of data collection in a ring is only a half of that in PEGASIS, in which sensors are organised into a chain. We present a ring construction algorithm for RICA...
