The mammalian thalamus is composed of two types of thalamocortical relay. First order relays receive information from subcortical sources and relay it to cortex, whereas higher order relays receive information from layer 5 of one cortical area and relay it to another. Recent reports suggest that modulatory inputs to first and higher order relays may differ. We used rat thalamic brain slices and...

In the motivation of tapping the strong potential of computational intelligence in discovering knowledge of protective relay operations using data mining, modeling and simulation of an actual industrial numerical distance relay and its recording facility are a vital requisite. This is justified by the practicality and necessity of divulging the decision algorithm hidden in the recorded relay ev...

Wireless multi-hop relay systems are important technologies in mobile communications. These systems ensure high-speed data transfer and extended coverage area at a low cost. This paper investigates the position of a relay problem for the maximum capacity enhancement of a twoway Relay Node (RN) to achieve an efficient and scalable Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) wireless network design. The...

Relay selection scheme in cooperative communication systems has been known as an effective technique that provides full diversity with efficient use of bandwidth in literature. Generally, the total power is shared equally between the source and the selected relay in relay selection schemes. However, the power allocation between the source and the selected relay is critical to further improve th...

We consider a wireless relay network with one source, one relay and one destination, where communications between nodes are preformed via N orthogonal channels. This, for example, is the case when orthogonal frequency division multiplexing is employed for data communications. Since the power available at the source and relay is limited, we study optimal power allocation strategies at the source...

Abstract: The analysis the outage performance of suggested Cognitive Wireless Relay Network (CWRN) which consists of a source, a destination and M cognitive relay nodes and M primary user nodes. In this study, we mainly study that the cognitive relay nodes impact on the outage performance of proposed CWRN over Rayleigh channels under both the peak and average interference power constraints.

Multi-hop relaying deployment are expected to offer coverage extension and throughput enhancement to fulfill the staggering increase in mobile broadband traffic, while reducing the total energy consumption in heterogeneous cellular networks, namely joint macro basestation-relay networks. This paper investigates the impact of relay deployment in long termevolution advanced (LTE-Advanced), as a s...

Optimal precoding in the relay is investigated to maximize ergodic capacity of a multiple antenna relay channel. The source and the relay nodes are equipped with multiple antennas and the destination with a single antenna. It is assumed that the channel covariance matrices of the relay’s receive and transmit channels are available to the relay, and optimal precoding at the relay is investigated...

In order to improve the Voice over IP (VoIP) capacity of a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), we develop a relay-aided solution, which includes a relay-aided admission control scheme, a packet aggregation scheme, and a protocol for packet relay without sacrificing the voice quality. Basically, our admission control scheme utilizes relay stations to admit as many VoIP sessions as possible. When...
