The presence of adventitious lung sounds, such as the wheezing sound, is an indication of possible respiratory disorders. Many algorithms have been proposed in the literature for the detection of adventitious lung sounds but they involve the use of sophisticated pattern recognition techniques which are complex and are hence not suitable for use in wearable personal devices. While a recent work reported...
Previous work has reported that vertical sector-ization can efficiently improve the capacity of LTE network using Active Antenna System (AAS) based on simulation results, however, its performance in real-world scenario still needs to be evaluated and verified for future deployment. Thus, this study conducts an evaluation of vertical sectorization in LTE field trial with single user. The field trial...
A novel carrier sensing method with self-cancelation of the inter-carrier emission inevitably existent in OFDMA-based coexisting systems is proposed. Different from the conventional energy-based carrier detector, which directly compares the carrier energy with some predefined thresholds without considering such inter-carrier emissions, our proposed method can remove them before making decision, thus...
This paper aims at maximizing the average spectral efficiency of a secondary link in a cognitive radio context, where both the primary and secondary users are equipped with the adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) capability. In the training phase, the fixed training power of the secondary user is selected such that the prescribed average spectral efficiency of the primary link is guaranteed. In the...
In this paper, the problem of the multi-user uplink scheduling in cognitive radio cellular network (CogCell) is investigated. The objective is to maximize the system throughput, while protecting the QoS of primary user (PU) from being affected by secondary user (SU). Here, PU's QoS is represented by its signal-to-interference-plus-noise (SINR) outage probability. It is equivalent to say that SU can...
In this paper, a distributed spectrum access algorithm for Cognitive Wireless Network (CogWN) is proposed. The objective is to maximize the number of admitted Secondary Users (SUs) under the constraint of Interference Temperature (IT) at Measurement Point (MP), while providing AQP (Active users' Quality of service Protection) at the same time. Here AQP means that the Signal to Interference plus Noise...
In this paper we propose two distributed power control algorithms for cognitive radio cellular network (CogCell). Our objective is to maximize the number of admitted Secondary Users (SUs), while making sure both the Primary User's and SUs' requirements of Quality of Service (QoS) are satisfied with certain constraints. Here the PU's requirement of QoS is described that the Interference Temperature...
This paper presents a wheeze detection method that uses a distributed array of microphones and can be implemented as part of a wearable health monitoring system. In order to reduce the power consumption for the wearable system, the method has been developed to operate at a sampling rate of 1000 Hz, instead of 8000 Hz. In the design, we use two regular air conductive microphones and a bone conductive...
