Intelligent management of machines, particularly in a residence area, has been of interest for many years. However, such system design has always been limited to simple control of machines from a local area or remotely from the Internet. In this report, for the first time, an intelligent system is proposed, where not only provides intelligent control ability of machines to user, but also utiliz...

Allowing WLANs to exploit opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) is a promising approach to alleviate spectrum congestion problems in overcrowded unlicensed ISM bands, especially in highly dense WLAN deployments. In this context, novel channel assignment mechanisms jointly considering available channels in both unlicensed ISM and OSA-enabled licensed bands are needed. Unlike classical schemes prop...

. The considered problem of routing and spectrum assignment (RSA) takes into consideration minimizing the length of the transmission distance under spectrum continuity constraints and the relationship between the traffic bitrates and the spectrum bandwidth. The proposed algorithms constitute modifications of the well-known Dijkstra's algorithm. The obtained results show that a significant reduc...

The Open Spectrum approach to spectrum access can achieve near-optimal utilization by allowing devices to sense and utilize available spectrum opportunistically. However, a naive distributed spectrum assignment can lead to significant interference between devices. In this paper, we define a general framework that defines the spectrum access problem for several definitions of overall system util...

This paper investigates a distributed and adaptive approach to manage spectrum usage in dynamic spectrum access networks. While previous works focus on centralized provisioning, we propose a distributed low complexity approach where nodes selforganize into coordination groups and adapt their spectrum assignment to approximate the global optimal assignment. We design a distributed coordination p...
