Quantum interference forces two indistinguishable input photons to depart a beamsplitter in the same (of two possible) spatial output modes; this is known as the Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect. It provides a quantitative way of measuring the distinguishability between two photons and also has been utilised to determine their relative temporal delays [1, 2]. HOM interferometry offers numerous advantages...
Many broadcast protocols have been proposed in Vehicular ad-hoc Network (VANET) for safety applications and traffic efficiency. GeoBroadcast, which the sender sends information to the geographical area, has been standardized by the ETSI Technical Committee ITS. The routing protocol is a key technology satisfying communication requests of high reliability, low delay and universality for GeoBroadcast...
Using relayers in wireless networks enables higher throughput, increased reliability or reduced delay. However, when building networks using commercially available hardware, concurrent transmissions by multiple relayers are generally not possible. Instead one specific relayer needs to be assigned for each transmission instant. If the decision regarding which relayer to assign, i.e., which relayer...
In this paper, we address the need for motivating applications, such as mission critical industrial control and medical applications, to operate under the Ultra-Reliable Communication (URC) mode in the future 5th Generation (5G) cellular wireless networks, while also under strict Quality of Service (QoS) constraints such as ultra-low latency. Reliability has been shown to improve by using Hybrid Automatic...
The neighbourhood area network (NAN) in smart grid (SG) is responsible for data exchange from smart meters (SMs) to the control center and vice versa. Efficient and reliable communication from a control center to individual SMs is an essential part of enabling a green power supply system. Different packet loss at SMs causes information delay. Network coding (NC) is a promising technique to improve...
Nowadays, our streets and highways are growing in traffic congestion as large number of cars are entering the transportation system due to rise in population. The high volume of vehicles and numerous signalized intersection the traffic congestion is causing huge problems to schedule reliability. As transportation demand is increasing various road networks are facing increasing congestion. To mitigate...
The problem of joint sequential change detection and isolation in a multichannel system is considered. It is assumed that a disruption occurs at some unknown time, and changes the distributions of the observations in an unknown subset of channels. The problem is to quickly detect the change, and at the same time to reliably isolate the affected channels. A novel scheme is proposed for this task, which...
DTN (Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking) inserts a new layer between the application layer (L7) and the transport layer (L4) for reliable communication on long-delay, intermittent, or lossy inks. Such a new layer, however, should provide not only a single rich service but also various rich services. We are proposing Layer-5 (L5) inserted between L7 and L4 to provide multiple rich services. One of...
In this paper the performance of ITS-G5A communications for an autonomous driving application is analyzed in a real high-density scenario. The data was collected during the cooperative platooning tests that took place in Helmond in the frame of the Grand Cooperative Driving Challenge 2016. In the competition, between 8–10 autonomous vehicles formed two platoons in different lanes and were required...
The Avionics Full-Duplex Switched Ethernet (AFDX) network has established itself as a reference in aeronautical embedded communications to comply with the growth of bandwidth needs and the reliability requirements. Its determinism property imposes that AFDX frames have to transit through the network in a limited amount of time. Due to potential delays in the processing frames at a reception End-System,...
Several communication protocols based on channel hopping have been proposed for wireless sensor networks. One prominent example is IEEE 802.15.4e, which relies on the concept of time-slotted channel hopping (TSCH). TSCH effectively mitigates poor channel conditions (caused, e.g., by fading) by means of channel changes according to a pre-defined hopping sequence. In order for nodes to participate in...
In this paper, the fundamental problem of distribution and proactive caching of computing tasks in fog networks is studied under latency and reliability constraints. In the proposed scenario, computing can be executed either locally at the user device or offloaded to an edge cloudlet. Moreover, cloudlets exploit both their computing and storage capabilities by proactively caching popular task computation...
This paper investigates the advanced IGBT gate driving strategies which optimizes its switching behaviours and compares with the conventional driving method. The optimal IGBT performance not only relies on its advanced semiconductor design and fabrication techniques, but also the optimized local control and protection from intelligent gate drivers and global converter control strategy. An advanced...
The coming 5G cellular communication system is envisioned to support a wide range of new use cases on top of regular cellular mobile broadband services. One of the 5G usage scenarios is ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC). It has been predicted that URLLC will play an essential role in enabling wireless communications for emerging new services and applications such as factory automation,...
5G New Radio (NR) is envisioned to support three broad categories of services: evolved mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC), and massive machine-type communications (mMTC). The URLLC services refer to future applications that require secure data communications from one end to another with ultra-high reliability and deadline-based low latency requirements....
Vehicles are the third fastest growing connected device type after smart phones and tablets. Also, automotive industry is interested to get more vehicles connected to the internet to improve traffic safety and efficiency. This creates a need for Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications. In this work, the possibility of exploiting beamforming in LTE-V2X is considered. Singular value decomposition...
The operation of the freight railway industry is a complex system which is accompanied by various challenges. The main objective of the freight rail industry is to provide customers with quality and reliable service, but different forms of delay prevent the achievement of this objective. A case study was conducted in Transnet, the largest freight rail network in South Africa, to identify factors that...
