This paper presents the work that is currently performed in the E-SPONDER (FP7-242411) project. E-SPONDER is a project co-funded by the European Commission under its Security Program. E-SPONDER is a suite of real-time data-centric technologies that will provide information and communication support to first responders which act during normal and abnormal events (crises). It will investigate the use...
This paper proposes a simplified acquisition system for finding and identifying Base Stations (BSs) in visibility in the framework of a CDMA wireless positioning system, based on IS-95 cellular standard. The problem of having more than one BS in the same PN code acquisition system makes it necessary to discriminate between correct detection and false alarm events. Since IS-95 uses the same PN sequence...
We consider a communication network with a single source node, a single destination node, and N intermediate nodes. We propose efficient techniques to increase the spectral efficiency of cooperative multihop transmission. We analyze the minimum total transmit power needed to achieve a desired end-to-end outage probability for a given rate for several schemes. In the first scheme, incremental relaying,...
This paper presents the design, implementation and demonstration results from the ongoing ESA ARTES project “SFEDONA”. The SFEDONA project deals with a complete end-to-end fire detection and alerting application which employs state-of-the-art satellite and wireless communications air interfaces as well as advanced technologies in fire detection, alerting and propagation estimation based on terrestrial...
