A microcell interference model termed the Nakagami m,/m, is introduced in this paper. The desired signal as well as the cochannel interferers are assumed to have Nakagami statistics but with different amounts of fading. A special case of this model is obtained when the desired signal has Nakagami statistics while the cochannel interferers are subject to Rayleigh fading. The probability density ...

In this article, the effects of different foam production times and temperatures on the mechanical, physical, and structural properties of polypropylene (PP) foam has been investigated. The microcellular PP foams were carried out using supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-CO2) as a physical foaming agent in a batch process. The samples were placed in a pressure vessel and were saturated ...

A method to fabricate highly ordered nanocellular foam by incorporating the UV-induced chemical foaming technique with self-assembly of a block copolymer, poly(methyl methacrylate-block-tert-butyl acrylate) (PMMA-b-PtBA), was reported in our previous communication [Rattanakawin, P. ACS Macro Lett. 2020, 9 (10), 1433–1438]. Cells size few tens nanometers were successfully generated within cylind...

The addition of inexpensive montmorillonite clay to a silicone resin employed as preceramic polymer was found to be advantageous for the production of SiOC glass matrix composites. Dense SiOC based monoliths were achieved with the addition of a substantial amount of calcined clay (30 wt.%) to the preceramic polymer; these composites exhibited remarkable hardness and fracture toughness, higher t...

Introduction: To extend the present mediumjlarge cell mobile radio systems [I] towards ubiquitous communications, the microcellular approach looks promising [Z]. A major problem in cellular radio systems, regardless of having micro or mediumflarge cell architecture, is the presence of cochannel interference because of frequency reuse. Extensive studies on the effects of cochannel interference i...
