This paper investigates a high power factor switch-based wireless power transfer front-end circuit for heterogeneous systems. This circuit uses an integrated switching rectifier, implemented in 0.18um 1.8V/5V CMOS process. An integrated pair of phase synchronizers is used to align the waveshape of a wirelessly-coupled sinusoidal voltage source in the receiving coil to the corresponding conducting...
Wireless charging is developing into a standard feature of portable electronic devices to cut the last wire. Resonant wireless power transfer (R-WPT) using magnetic resonance emerges as a promising approach, as it provides spatial freedom and can charge multiple devices simultaneously. ISM-band frequencies such as 6.78MHz or 13.56MHz are commonly used as the resonant frequency of the LC tank [1–4]...
Dynamic contactless charging is an emerging technology for charging electric vehicles (EV) on the move. For efficient charging and for proper billing, dynamic charging requires secure communication between the charging infrastructure and the EVs that supports very frequent real-time message exchange for EV authentication. In this paper we propose Portunes, an authentication protocol for charging pads...
Multi-channel MACs have recently attracted significant attention in wireless networking research because they possess the ability to exploit multiple frequency bands in order to increase the capacity of wireless ad hoc networks. A number of multi-channel MACs have been proposed in the last few years. However, these protocols rely on two rather impractical assumptions: low channel switching latency...
The upcoming IEEE802.11p/WAVE (wireless access for vehicular environment) standard is intended to deliver both safety and non-safety applications to vehicles on the roads. Despite huge research on safety traffic, only a few works have investigated non-safety comfort and entertainment applications (e.g., multimedia, web browsing, e-maps) when considering the WAVE standard features and capabilities...
We propose QUEST (QUality ESTimation), a new method that accurately estimates IEEE 802.11 wireless link quality with no in-band signaling overhead. Existing link quality estimation methods either are based on hello exchanges by fixing or varying transmission rates or rely on the history (e.g., delivery ratio) of previously sent data packets in a per-rate/-neighbor manner. QUEST on the other hand,...
3D contactless technology based on capacitive coupling represents a promising solution for high-speed and low power signaling in vertically integrated chips. AC coupled interconnects do not suffer from mechanical stress, and the parasitic load is much reduced when compared to standard DC solutions, such as wire bonding and micro bumps. Communication system based on wireless interconnection scheme...
Video signal processing algorithms are characterized by high computational complexity and high memory throughput. Since the multicore architectures can provide high computational capacity and high throughput, they suit the video processing applications very well. However, it is very difficult to deal with the increasing design complexity and cost of the multicore system. For video processing application,...
Three applications in wireless networks where model-free stochastic learning is applicable, are discussed. The learning based optimization problems are formulated and simulation results are presented. Some open issues are also discussed.
This contribution addresses the case when live packet-switched video is used to enrich circuit-switched speech calls in mobile telephony. Circuit-switched and packet-switched transmissions generally operate on completely different transmission paths resulting in different QoS in terms of delay and loss rates. In this case, video and audio data recorded at the same time are not multiplexed together...
Todaypsilas access network is migrating towards broadband IP, fixed/mobile convergence and service convergence. Thus, the next generation access network (NGAN) requires a converged optical/wireless access network infrastructure, other than the existing architecture that connect to the cellular, broadband wireless, and optical access networks separately, which complicate the network and increase the...
In this paper, we evaluate network performance of non-acknowledged packet transfer in relatively large IEEE 802.15.4 network. Network under consideration contains six interconnected IEEE 802.15.4 beacon enabled network clusters in triangular topology using slave-slave (SS) bridges with CSMA-CA access. We investigate the interactions among local nodes, local bridges and remote bridges. Simulation results...
Video-streaming can now be offered on third-generation (3G) mobile networks. Most research efforts have focused on video download. This paper presents a detailed study of challenges faced for successfully deploying applications requiring life video upload. Both subjective and objective qualities as well as the effects of mobility are analyzed on real 3G networks. Consequently, video profiles are identified...
