In this work, we present a buffer-aided successive opportunistic relaying scheme that aims at improving the average capacity of the network when inter-relay interference arises between relays that are selected for simultaneous transmission and reception. We propose a relay selection policy that, by exploiting the benefits of buffering at the relays, decouples the receiving relay at the previous...

The goal of cooperative communication is to increase spatial diversity and wireless network coverage. However, in a classical relaying setup, where single best relay chosen receive the source's data first time slot retransmit second regardless channel circumstances, mismatch occurs. In this paper, we have developed an enhanced selection technique at nodes that incorporates buffers address afore...

A boiler plays a significant role in processing industry, particularly chemical industry. It requires proper adoption of control techniques for supplying accurate temperature, pressure, steam, and water flow to produce chemicals. An uncontrolled can shut down the whole process. Therefore it continuous monitoring system avoiding such shutdown. In past few decades, relay logic, embedded or proces...

The paper presents theoretical insights which might lead to further development of improved relay-based PID autotuners. The analysis is based on the first generation of autotuners, namely the widely used Åström-Hägglund relay-feedback tuner. The analysis is accompanied by illustrative examples. The performance of the autotuners is evaluated against a reference PID controller which is designed u...

Wireless digital broadcasting applications such as digital audio broadcast (DAB) and digital video broadcast (DVB) are becoming increasingly popular since the digital format allows for quality improvements as compared to traditional analogue broadcast. The broadcasting is commonly based on packet transmission. In this thesis, we consider broadcasting over packet erasure channels. To achieve rel...

This paper considers bi-lateral technology transfer projects undertaken by IPSYS Software plc., a small UK software technology company specialising in the development of Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) toolsets. IPSYS had unique technology but limited expertise and market presence in the application of particular software development methods, and limited development capital. Partners...
