Fundamental tradeoffs in green cellular networks with coexistence of machine-oriented and human-oriented traffics are investigated. First, we present a queuing system to model the uplink transmission of a green base station which serves two types of distinct traffics with strict requirements on delay and battery lifetime. Then, the energy-lifetime and energydelay tradeoffs are introduced, and c...

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) that use the IEEE 802.11p communication standard face a number of challenges, not least when it comes to safety messages on the VANET control channel (CCH) where short delay times and reliable delivery are of pri⁃ mary importance. In this paper we propose a vehicular machine⁃to⁃machine (VM2M) overlay network that uses Long Term Evolu⁃ tion (LTE) physical rando...

The coronavirus disease pandemic of 2019 has led to increased concern in mental health needs among pediatric populations. As the number emergency department visits have increased, so need for integrated behavioral services hospitals. This paper describes a standard care and benefits providing hospital settings. Trauma Mental Health Counseling Program, Hurt-2-Healing (H2H™) was developed impleme...

In this paper, we present a tiny networked mobile platform, termed Tiny-Web-Thing (T-Wing), which allows the sharing of data-intensive content among objects in cyber physical systems. The object includes mobile platforms like a smartphone, and Internet of Things (IoT) platforms for Human-to-Human (H2H), Human-to-Machine (H2M), Machine-to-Human (M2H), and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications....

Implantable Medical Devices (IMDs) are used to monitor and control patients with chronic diseases. A growing number of IMDs are equipped with a wireless interface that allows non-invasive monitoring and reprogramming through an external device, also known as device programmer. However, this wireless interface also brings important security and privacy risks that may lead to remote attacks. In t...

According to conventional economic wisdom, capital income taxes should be low. The purpose of this paper is to cast doubt on this general conclusion and to show theft theory can also point in the opposite direction. The paper shows that under rather mild conditions, higher capital income taxes lead to faster growth in an overlapping generations economy with endogenous growth. Government expendi...

M2M communication is quickly gaining popularity because of its endless possibilities. In order to take advantage of this new technology we need to use more advance networks like the 3GPP LTE/LTE-A which deliver higher throughput and can handle more active devices. LTE networks were mainly designed for H2H communication meaning that we cannot just use M2M devices over it without any optimization...
