Cover Story: Cognitive radio (CR) technology uses the wireless spectrum opportunistically, when it is not being used by the licensed user. In CR ad hoc networks, mobile users form a distributed multi-hop network using the unused spectrum. The qualities of the channels vary in different locations. When a user moves from one place to another, a switch in the channel is needed to maintain the quality-of-service (QoS) required by different applications. The user needs to switch to an operating channel that meets the QoS requirement during movement. Channel switching is costly because reestablishing connection takes some time, during which the data flow is interrupted. In this paper, we study the mobility patterns of users and predict their next locations and probabilities of moving there based on their movement history. We use the mobility patterns with the spectrum database and perform a probabilistic analysis to find the channel that can be used by the user over a long time.

    Wi-Fi Direct Performance Evaluation for V2P Communications

    • Thales Teixeira de Almeida,
    • José Geraldo Ribeiro Júnior,
    • Miguel Elias M. Campista and
    • Luís Henrique M. K. Costa

    The high cost of IEEE 802.11p-compliant devices and the lack of a widely adopted standard motivate the search for alternative methods for vehicular communication. As a consequence, and due to the ubiquity of smartphones, we see an increasing number o...

    Bayesian Model-Updating Using Features of Modal Data: Application to the Metsovo Bridge

    • Costas Argyris,
    • Costas Papadimitriou,
    • Panagiotis Panetsos and
    • Panos Tsopelas

    A Bayesian framework is presented for finite element model-updating using experimental modal data. A novel likelihood formulation is proposed regarding the inclusion of the mode shapes, based on a probabilistic treatment of the MAC value between the...

    Data Imputation in Wireless Sensor Networks Using a Machine Learning-Based Virtual Sensor

    • Michael Matusowsky,
    • Daniel T. Ramotsoela and
    • Adnan M. Abu-Mahfouz

    Data integrity in wireless sensor networks (WSN) is very important because incorrect or missing values could result in the system making suboptimal or catastrophic decisions. Data imputation allows for a system to counteract the effect of data loss b...
