- Piezoelectric materials can be used to convert mechanical energy, such as vibration into electrical energy which can be used to power up devices in a smart dust sensing network. ...
Simple Temporal Networks (STNs) are frequently used in scheduling applications, as they provide a powerful and general tool for managing temporal constraints. One obstacle to thei...
Abstract—Spectrum sensing is one of the key enabling technologies in Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs). In CRNs, secondary users (SUs) are allowed to exploit the spectrum opportuni...
