Power-constrained sensor selection and routing for cooperative detection in cognitive radios
Given a spectrum-sensing network, a set of active nodes jointly aggregate sensed data at a preset frequency-band and simultaneously route this information to an arbitrarily chosen querying node through a power-constrained multi-hop path. Locally, each sensor node is assumed to be an energy-based detector. This work focuses on deriving algorithms that jointly optimize sensor selection and cooperative detection from which a power-efficient route to the querying node can be established, and then, a tree routing structure spanning the chosen nodes is constructed under a power budget constraint. Sensor information is sequentially aggregated along this optimized routing structure up to the queryi…
Mobile cloud computing educational tool for image/video processing algorithms
This paper shows the importance and benefit of coupling cloud computing with mobile especially due to power limitations that mobile devices exhibit. Moreover, the work done shows that mobile computing can be applied for educational purposes, where a tool for students termed Mobi4Ed is presented. This educational tool aims at exploiting the concept of cloud computing in the context of image and video processing, where students can assess several algorithms in real-time. Two possible system architectures are detailed, where one uses the cellular channel and the other uses the data channel. Consequently, one of the approaches is adopted and a detailed simulation is done where an Android client…
