The ordering of communication channels was first introduced by Shannon. In this paper, we aim to find characterizations of two orderings: input-degradedness and the Shannon ordering. A channel W is said to be input-degraded from another channel W' if W can ...
We propose a multi-robot tracking method to provide state estimates that allow a group of robots to maintain a formation even when the communication fails. We extend a Gaussian Mixture Probability Hypothesis Density filter to incorporate, firstly, absolute ...
In animal communication, signal loudness is often ignored and seldom measured. We used a playback experiment to examine the role of vocal loudness (i.e., sound pressure level) in sibling to sibling communication of nestling barn owls Tyto alba. In this spe ...
The security and efficiency of communication are two of the main concerns for networks of today and the future. Our understanding of how to efficiently send information over various channels and networks has significantly increased in the past decade (see ...
The ordering of communication channels was first introduced by Shannon. In this paper, we aim to find a characterization of the Shannon ordering. We show that W' contains W if and only if W is the skew-composition of W' with a convex-product channel. This ...
This work presents performance of robust wearable antennas intended to operate in Wireless Body Area Networks (W-BAN) in UHF, TETRAPOL communication band, 380-400 MHz. We propose a Planar Inverted F Antenna (PIFA) as reliable antenna type for UHF W-BAN app ...
Multiview distributed video coding (DVC) has gained much attention in the last few years because of its potential in avoiding communication between cameras without decreasing the coding performance. However, the current results are not matching the expecta ...
Animal social networks are shaped by multiple selection pressures, including the need to ensure efficient communication and functioning while simultaneously limiting disease transmission. Social animals could potentially further reduce epidemic risk by alt ...
Over the past years there has been an increasing interest in developing distributed computation methods over wireless networks. A new communication paradigm has emerged where distributed algorithms such as consensus have played a key role in the developmen ...
