Electronics, Volume 7, Issue 1

January 2018 - 10 articles

Cover Story: Today mechanical, electronic devices such as drones and robots are becoming increasingly useful. From life and death, search and rescue operations to entertainment these devices are finding their way into our modern society in the air, on the ground, and in the water. Power is, however, a constant issue and possibly their greatest handcuff in development and use. The contents paper aim to solve a portion of this problem – power longevity with the design and testing of a power hybridization system consisting of supercapacitor and lithium-ion battery storage acting as separate power buffers through intelligent algorithms.View the paper here.

Delay Bounded Multi-Source Multicast in Software-Defined Networking

  • Thabo Semong,
  • Kun Xie,
  • Xuhui Zhou,
  • Hemant Kumar Singh and
  • Zhetao Li

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is the next generation network architecture with exciting application prospects. The control function in SDN is decoupled from the data forwarding plane, hence it provides a new centralized architecture with flexible...
