In this paper, the equivalent circuit model of the slotted ground structures (SGSs) underneath the microstrip line is presented. The slotted ground structures are etched off on the ground plane to provide the stopband over the desired frequency range. The frequency response of the stopband can be determined by the dimensions of SGSs. The interaction between the SGSs can equivalent to a parallel...

This chapter is about alternative MAC solutions for VANETs, based on a synchronous, slotted philosophy. After highlighting the limitation of the incumbent CSMA/CA solution, the chapter explains the rationale for a slotted standard and briefly introduces the three solutions found in literature (namely MS-Aloha, D-TDMA and STDMA). In particular, one of them, MS-Aloha, seems particularly rich in f...

In this paper, an inverse S-shaped slotted ground structure (S-SGS) is proposed and analyzed. The S-SGS generates dual attenuation poles that can be easily controlled by its structure parameters. The equivalent circuit of the S-SGS consists of lumped elements that can be extracted from the measured S parameters. Moreover, several S-SGS cells are applied to form a miniaturized lowpass filter (LP...

Packet Reservation Multiple Access (PRMA) can be viewed as a combination of TDMA and slotted ALOHA protocols. In PRMA, there are speech and data terminals that communicate with a base station. Downlink packets are scheduled by the base station, but for uplink access (first packet of a talkspurt or any data packet), terminals use slotted ALOHA. Speech terminals (and some data terminals, too) can...

Simulated Annealing (SA) is applied in optimization of slotted tube grain configuration. We propose a CAD based geometry calculation function, to increase calculation accuracy, integrated with internal ballistic model. CAD representation encapsulates all of the geometric entities pertinent to the grain design in a parametric way, allowing manipulation of grain entity (web), performing regressio...

A novel monopole asymmetric fractal micro strip antenna is designed and analyzed in this paper. The proposed Koch fractal monopole antenna is resonating at triband with circular polarization operation. Five diff structures without slot (basic model), single slot (Iteration 1), double slotted (Iteration 2), triple slotted (Iteration 3), and optimized fractal slot (Iteration 4) are studied for ci...

Dual-band bandpass filters featuring compact size and flexible frequency choice are demonstrated using resonators based on slotted ground structures. Two resonators based on slotted ground structures form the basis of the filter design. The resonators allow the back-to-back and face-to-face embedding configuration, hence, greatly reduces the physical size of the filters. By changing the sizes o...

This paper examines the implications of pricing errors and factors that are not strong for Fama-MacBeth two-pass estimator risk premia its asymptotic distribution when T is fixed with n → ∞, both jointly. While literature just distinguishes weak we allow degrees strength using a recently developed measure. Our theoretical results have important practical empirical asset pricing. Pricing factor ...

In this paper, we derive the closed-form delay distributions of slotted ALOHA and nonpersistent carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) protocols under steady state. Three retransmission policies are analyzed. We find that under a binary exponential backoff retransmission policy, finite average delay and finite delay variance can be guaranteed for 2 and 4 3, respectively, where is the channel traf...

This paper investigates the energy efficiency of RFID anti-collision protocols and their suitability for use in RFID-enhanced wireless sensor networks (WSNs). We present a detailed analytical methodology and an in-depth qualitative and quantitative energy consumption analysis of Pure and Slotted Aloha anti-collision protocols and their variants. We find that Slotted Aloha variants that employ m...
