The analysis of the dynamic behavior of power transmission line and telecommunication towers is of interest in protection and EMC studies related to lightning. Usually, time-domain surge impedance is used to characterize tower dynamic behavior. The main dr ...
A novel image transmission scheme is proposed for the communication of SPIHT image streams over wireless channels. The proposed scheme employs turbo codes and Reed-Solomon codes in order to deal effectively with burst errors. An algorithm for the optimal u ...

Technological advances of the last decades enabled the development of a set of new medical techniques that differ from traditional open surgery. These techniques, referred to as minimally invasive surgery (MIS), involve complex instruments and imaging devi ...
We consider the joint optimization of sensor placement and transmission structure for data gathering, where a given number of nodes need to be placed in a field such that the sensed data can be recon structed at a sink within specified distortion bounds wh ...
This paper presents a new approach to model a transmission tower for lightning performance studies. It consists of representing each part of the tower by equivalent vertical and/or horizontal transmission lines as required. While horizontal line parameters ...
In this paper, we consider the minimization of a relevant energy consumption related cost function in the context of sensor networks where correlated sources are generated at various sets of source nodes and have to be transmitted to some set of sink nodes ...

In this paper, we investigate the effect of periodically-grounded shielding wires and surge arresters on the attenuation of lightning-induced voltages. We discuss the adequacy of the commonly made simplification of assuming the shielding wire at ground pot ...
We are interested in finding a jointly optimal scheduling, routing and power control that achieves max-min fair rate allocation in a multi-hop wireless network. This is a highly complex non-convex optimization problem and it has been previously solved only ...
This work describes a development of a control system and control strategies capable of governing multiple flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices. The main purposes of the presented coordinated control system are to remove overloads and to achieve ...
