Integrated Fuzzy Solution for Network Selection using MIH in Heterogeneous Environment
2013
ISSN: 1942-2644; International audience; Seamless handover between networks in heterogeneous environment is essential to guarantee end-to- end QoS for mobile users. A key requirement is the ability to select seamlessly the next best network. Currently, the implementation of the selection algorithm of the IEEE 802.21 standard by National Institute of Standards and Technology considers only the signal strength as a parameter to select the best destination network. In this paper, we improve the implementation of the existing selection algorithm by proposing an integrated solution to select the best destination network. Our proposed solution consists of proposing a Multi Criteria Selection Algo…
IP-Based Mobility Management and Handover Latency Measurement in heterogeneous environments
2017
International audience; One serious concern in the ubiquitous networks is the seamless vertical handover management between different wireless technologies. To meet this challenge, many standardization organizations proposed different protocols at different layers of the protocol stack. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has different groups working on mobility at IP level in order to enhance mobile IPv4 and mobile IPv6 with different variants: HMIPv6 (Hierarchical Mobile IPv6), FMIPv6 (Fast Mobile IPv6) and PMIPv6 (Proxy Mobile IPv6) for seamless handover. Moreover, the IEEE 802.21 standard provides another framework for seamless handover. The 3GPP standard provides the Access Netw…
HQMR: Hybrid QoS based Routing Protocol for Wireless Mesh Environment
2015
International audience; Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have been attracting more and more interest from both academic and industrial environments for their seamless broadband connectivity to Internet networks. Besides, providing QoS guarantees for real-time and streaming applications such as Voice over IP (VoIP) and Video on Demand (VoD) is a challenging issue in such environment. Thus, we propose a novel QoS based routing protocol for wireless mesh infrastructure, called Hybrid QoS Mesh Routing (HQMR). Moreover, a clustering algorithm is developed to enhance scalability issues within the mesh infrastructure. HQMR is composed of two routing sub-protocols: a reactive routing protocol for intr…
Lossless and nearly-lossless image compression based on combinatorial transforms
2011
Common image compression standards are usually based on frequency transform such as Discrete Cosine Transform or Wavelets. We present a different approach for loss-less image compression, it is based on combinatorial transform. The main transform is Burrows Wheeler Transform (BWT) which tends to reorder symbols according to their following context. It becomes a promising compression approach based on contextmodelling. BWT was initially applied for text compression software such as BZIP2 ; nevertheless it has been recently applied to the image compression field. Compression scheme based on Burrows Wheeler Transform is usually lossless ; therefore we imple-ment this algorithm in medical imagi…
Limits on a muon flux from Kaluza-Klein dark matter annihilations in the Sun from the IceCube 22-string detector
2010
A search for muon neutrinos from Kaluza-Klein dark matter annihilations in the Sun has been performed with the 22-string configuration of the IceCube neutrino detector using data collected in 104.3 days of live-time in 2007. No excess over the expected atmospheric background has been observed. Upper limits have been obtained on the annihilation rate of captured lightest Kaluza-Klein particle (LKP) WIMPs in the Sun and converted to limits on the LKP-proton cross-sections for LKP masses in the range 250 -- 3000 GeV. These results are the most stringent limits to date on LKP annihilation in the Sun.
New exclusion limits on scalar and pseudoscalar axionlike particles from light shining through a wall
2015
Physics beyond the Standard Model predicts the possible existence of new particles that can be searched at the low-energy frontier in the sub-eV range. The OSQAR photon regeneration experiment looks for ``light shining through a wall'' from the quantum oscillation of optical photons into ``weakly interacting sub-eV particles,'' such as axion or axionlike particles (ALPs) in a 9 T transverse magnetic field over a length of $2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}14.3\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{m}$. In 2014, this experiment was run with an outstanding sensitivity, using an 18.5 W continuous wave laser emitting in the green at the single wavelength of 532 nm. No regenerated photons have been detected …
Laboratory leaching studies of oryzalin and diuron through three undisturbed vineyard soil columns
2004
Article de revue (Article scientifique dans une revue à comité de lecture); International audience; The leaching of diuron and oryzalin through undisturbed soil columns was studied in the laboratory using three vineyard soils from Vosne-Romanée (Burgundy): a rendosol, a calcosol and a vegetated calcosol. After 845 mm of simulated rainfall in 15 days, soil leachates contained higher amounts of diuron (3.2%, 11.8% and 18.8% of applied diuron, respectively) than oryzalin (0.2%, 4.9%, 3.7%, respectively). A greater proportion of soil extractable residues was obtained for diuron (42.5%, 26.8% and 32.2%, respectively) than for oryzalin (14.7%, 12% and 15.5%, respectively). The greater mobility of…
Leaching of diuron and oryzalin in undisturbed lysimeters of three vineyard soils (Vosne-Romanée, 21)
2001
La mobilité du diuron et de l'oryzalin a été étudiée en colonnes de sol non perturbé au laboratoire. Les sols étudiés sont trois sols viticoles de la région Bourgogne (Vosne-Romanée, 21) et ont été prélevés selon une topolithoséquence. Leurs teneurs en carbone organique sont respectivement de 1,2 %, 1,7 % et 2,2 % pour le sol brun calcaire de mi-pente (SBC MP), le sol brun calcaire de bas de pente (SBC BP) et la rendzine. Après une hauteur de pluie simulée de 845 mm, les percolats respectifs de la rendzine, du SBC MP et du SBC BP contiennent des quantités plus importantes de diuron (3,2 %, 11,8 % et 18,8 %), que d'oryzalin (0,2 %, 4,9 % et 3,7 % des quantités appliquées). Dans les colonnes …
Vers le développement d'un capteur photoplétysmographique sans contact
2019
Heart-rate estimation performed with remote photoplethysmography is a very active research field. Since pioneer works in 2010, which demonstrated the feasibility of the measure with low-grade consumers’ camera (webcam), the number of scientific publications have increased significantly in the domain. Hence, we observe a multiplication of the methods in order to retrieve the photoplethysmographic signal which has led to an increased precision and quality of the heart-rate estimation. Region of interest segmentation is a key step of the processing pipeline in order to maximize the quality of the measured signal. We propose a new method to perform remote photoplethysmographic measurement using…
