This paper proposes an adaptive transmission modulation (ATM) technique for free-space optical (FSO) links over gamma-gamma turbulence channels.The ATM technique provides efficient utilization of the FSO channel capacity for improving spectral efficiency, by adapting the order of the phase-shift keying modulation scheme, according to the channel conditions and the required bit error rate (BER). To

A seamless and fast handover from one cell to another is one of the main goals of long term evolution (LTE). Hence, the decision of handover is a critical part of the design process of handover. Then the selection of handover parameters must be in a careful and optimal way to have an efficient and successful handover. In this paper, a new optimized CoMP handover algorithm (CoMP HO) for LTE network

This paper proposes a spectral efficiency improvement technique for millimeter wave (mmWave) links. The proposed technique provides an efficient utilization of the mmWave link capacity. This technique is applied in three cases the single-input single-output (SISO), single-input multiple-output (SIMO) with the maximal ratio combining and with the equal gain combining. The M-ary quadrature amplitude

The long-term evolution (LTE) transports complex-baseband samples between the remote radio head and baseband processing unit. Common public radio interface (CPRI) protocol is used in practice and enables flexible radio head deployments and distributed antenna systems. Current wireless links (FSO and mmWave) have a few Gb/p transmissions which insufficient capacity are to support 20 MHz bandwidth

Due to the non-linear relation between current and voltage of the PV modules, DC/DC power electronic converters are used to adapt this non-linearity. Controllers are used to control the DC/DC converters in order that, they can take actions against changes in irradiance input levels, temperature input levels and load values. In this study, a standalone PV system that feeds a DC load is simulated

This paper proposes the realization of grounded and floating fractional order mem-elements (FOMEs) based on two- and three-port mutators, respectively. Three different topologies based on two-port mutators are implemented using the four members of the second-generation current conveyor (CCII) family which is useful to achieve several realizations for the same circuit. The Fractional Order Mem

This paper proposes a general prototype fractional order filter based on a two-port network concept with four external impedances. Three induced classifications from the general prototype are extracted with one, two and three external impedances, achieving ten possible generalized topologies. The external impedances are fractional-order elements and resistors. There are forty-six filters divided

Exploring the implementation of fractional calculus is essential to be adequately used in several applications. This paper introduces an FPGA design methodology of fractional order multi-scrolls chaotic system. Hardware resources comparison proves the efficiency of the proposed method. The designs are simulated using Xilinx ISE 14.7 and realized on FPGA Xilinx Artix 7. Different interesting

This paper studies a new fractional-order form for the active low-pass filter. The form was mainly generated from generalizing an active second-order low-pass filter with three capacitors to the fractional-order domain with three independent orders. The transfer function introduced an extra term in the denominator comprising the third fractional order. The effect of the third fractional-order

Bio-impedance measurement has been used as an indicator for specific physical and chemical changes in food products, fruits and vegetables, cancer detection and other applications.
