Swarm intelligence, and swarm robotics in particular, are reaching a point where leveraging the potential of communication within an artificial systempromises to uncover newand varied directions for interesting research without compromising the key propert ...
We explore the problem of smallscale multirobot formation control using only an unsophisticated onboard relative positioning module. The robotic setup and module are implemented and tested in a realistic virtual simulator, using standard formation types an ...
Many applications of wireless ad hoc sensor and actuator networks (WSANs) rely on the knowledge of node locations. These are challenging to obtain when nodes are mobile and are not equipped with any expensive positioning hardware. In this paper, we are int ...
With the deregulation of the electricity and telecommunications markets, a great deal of new operators providing some innovative services have appeared. In the telecommunications' field, the promise of broadband Internet access with easy installation proce ...
Commercial applications for the location of subscribers of wireless services continue to expand. Consequently, finding the Cramer–Rao lower bound (CRLB), which serves as an optimality criterion for the location estimation problem, is of interest. In this p ...

Cognitive radio technology has been proposed to improve spectrum efficiency by having the cognitive radios act as secondary users to opportunistically access under-utilized frequency bands. Spectrum sensing, as a key enabling functionality in cognitive rad ...
We explore the problem of small-scale multi-robot formation control using only an unsophisticated, on-board relative positioning module. The robotic setup and module are implemented and tested in a realistic virtual simulator, using standard formation type ...

Wireless communication enables a broad spectrum of applications, ranging from commodity to tactical systems. Neighbor discovery (ND), that is, determining which devices are within direct radio communication, is a building block of network protocols and app ...
Channel allocation has been extensively studied in the framework of cellular networks, but the emergence of new system concepts, such as cognitive radio systems, bring this topic into the focus of research again. In this paper, we provide a formal analysis ...
Feasibility studies performed in the last years have shown that the low voltage distribution network can be used for data transmission. The main problem is the possible radiation of electromagnetic field representing a the disturbance which can affect radi ...
