Evaluating the Performance of Real Time Videoconferencing in Ad Hoc Networks Through Emulation
2008
The validation of new video protocols and applications for mobile ad hoc networks in a real environment is an important task. In this work we present Castadiva, a test-bed architecture that allows validating software solutions for ad hoc networks using low-cost, off-the-shelf devices and open source software. We use this tool to test a videocall using the OLSR protocol in different scenarios, varying the number of hops between the caller and the receiver. The results obtained in this paper show that, for an ad hoc network with a large number of hops, the quality of videocalls suffers a significant degradation even in the absence of mobility.

OLF : RGB-D Adaptive Late Fusion for Robust 6D Pose Estimation
2023
RGB-D 6D pose estimation has recently gained significant research attention due to the complementary information provided by depth data. However, in real-world scenarios, especially in industrial applications, the depth and color images are often more noisy. Existing methods typically employ fusion designs that equally average RGB and depth features, which may not be optimal. In this paper, we propose a novel fusion design that adaptively merges RGB-D cues. Our approach involves assigning two learnable weight α 1 and α 2 to adjust the RGB and depth contributions with respect to the network depth. This enables us to improve the robustness against low-quality depth input in a simple yet effec…
Group mobility impact over TCP and CBR traffic in mobile ad hoc networks
2004
We present an analysis of the effect that mobility models have over the performance of a mobile ad hoc network. We concentrate on group mobility because there is a growing attention on the development and evaluation of MANET's approach applied to personal area networks (PANs), especially based on Bluetooth technology. We investigate the effect that the mobility model has on the performance of CBR traffic and TCP traffic. We propose four different group mobility models and describe a mobility pattern generator called grcmob to be used with the ns-2 simulator. We perform a thorough evaluation of a MANET behavior using as a reference the behavior obtained with the random waypoint mobility mode…
Insertion reaction of carbon dioxide into Sn-OR bond. Synthesis, structure and DFT calculations of di- and tetranuclear isopropylcarbonato tin(IV) co…
2006
The reaction of carbon dioxide with the stannane nBu2Sn(OiPr)2 and distannoxane [nBu2(iPrO)Sn]2O leads to the selective insertion into one Sn-OiPr bond generating the corresponding nBu2Sn(OiPr)(OCO2(i)Pr) and nBu2(iPrO)SnOSn(OCO2(i)Pr)nBu2 species. Both compounds are characterised by multinuclear NMR, FT-IR and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. In the solid state, they adopt a dimeric arrangement with bridging isopropoxy and terminal isopropylcarbonato ligands. The X-ray crystal structure of the dinuclear stannane shows that the Sn2O2 ring and the two Sn-OCO2C fragments are nearby coplanar. The same holds for the ladder-type tetranuclear distannoxane. The dimeric structures are also evi…
Clustering-Based Algorithm for Connectivity Maintenance in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks
2014
International audience; Among recent advances in wireless communication technologies' field, Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) have drawn the attention of both academic and industry researchers due to their potential applications including driving safety, entertainment, emergency applications, and content sharing. VANET networks are characterized by their high mobile topology changes. Clustering is one of the control schemes used to make this global topology less dynamic. It allows the formation of dynamic virtual backbone used to organize the medium access, to support quality of service and to simplify routing. Mainly, nodes are organized into clusters with at least one cluster head (CH) …
Consistent measurements of alpha(s) from precise oriented event shape distributions
2000
An updated analysis using about 1.5 million events recorded at $\sqrt{s} = M_Z$ with the DELPHI detector in 1994 is presented. Eighteen infrared and collinear safe event shape observables are measured as a function of the polar angle of the thrust axis. The data are compared to theoretical calculations in ${\cal O} (\alpha_s^2)$ including the event orientation. A combined fit of $\alpha_s$ and of the renormalization scale $x_{\mu}$ in $\cal O(\alpha_s^2$) yields an excellent description of the high statistics data. The weighted average from 18 observables including quark mass effects and correlations is $\alpha_s(M_Z^2) = 0.1174 \pm 0.0026$. The final result, derived from the jet cone energ…
Solid-state 1H-NMR relaxation properties of the fruit of a wild relative of eggplant at different proton Larmor frequencies
2009
1H longitudinal relaxation time profiles (T1) at different proton Larmor frequencies were registered for a solid state plant tissue by using fast field cycling (FFC) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. T1 distributions were obtained and the curves deconvoluted in order to differentiate among the different T1 components. Among the components, two were assigned to hydrophobic (e.g. fatty acids) and hydrophilic (e.g. saccharides) molecular systems, whereas the remaining others were attributed to bulk and bound water. This paper showed for the first time solid state FFC-NMR spectroscopy applied to plant tissue, and revealed that relaxometry is a very promising technique for studying …
ECAR: an Energy/Channel Aware Routing Protocol For Cooperative Wireless Sensor Networks
2011
International audience; The proliferation of low power networks like Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) rose up new challenges. Power conservation and channel quality become the most important parameters. Obviously, hop count based routing protocols are no more adapted to such networks having power limitations and channel problems. Several alternatives were suggested to cope with these constraints. In MAC layer for example, cooperative protocols were designed to enhance the channel use: the neighbor nodes help the source to retransmit its packets. However, if the path proposed by the routing protocol contains poor channels, the cooperative communications will not save all the packets. Therefore…
Distributed routing and channel allocation in multi-channel multi-hop ad hoc networks
2013
In this paper, we propose a novel routing protocol which is integrated with channel assignment for multi-channel multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks. In such a network, each node is equipped with three transceivers. One is always tuned on a control channel which is responsible for control and broadcast messages, and the other two perform as transmitter and receiver respectively for traffic flows on different data channels. The routing protocol works in an on-demand manner, and the proposed routing discovery process selects a path that potentially traverses nodes with lighter traffic load and lower number of carried flows. With a given number of non-overlapping channels, the optimal solution …
