Small cell and device-to-device (D2D) communications can fulfill high-speed wireless communication in indoor industrial internet of things (IIoT) services and cell-edge devices. However, controlling interference is crucial ...

Some low power wide area network (LPWAN) developers such as Sigfox, Weightless, and Nwave, have recently commenced the integration of cognitive radio (CR) techniques in their respective LPWAN technologies, generally termed ...

Self-adaptive threshold adjustment algorithms (SATAs) are required to reconfigure their parameters autonomously (i.e. to achieve self-parameter adjustment) at runtime and during online use for effective signal detection ...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are increasingly deployed in Internet of Things (IoT) systems for applications such as smart transportation, telemedicine, smart health monitoring and fall detection systems for the elderly ...

There has been an increasing number of attacks against critical water system infrastructure in recent years. This is largely due to the fact that these systems are heavily dependent on computer networks meaning that an ...

Some recent survey statistics suggest that low power wide area networks (LPWANs) are fast becoming the most prevalent communication platform used in many applications of the Internet of Things (IoT). However, because most ...

In this paper, we compare local and global adaptive threshold estimation techniques for energy detection in Cognitive Radio (CR). By this comparison, a sum-up synopsis is provided regarding the effective performance range ...

The forward consecutive mean excision (FCME) algorithm is one of the most effective adaptive threshold estimation algorithms presently deployed for threshold adaptation in cognitive radio (CR) systems. However, its ...

Cognitive radio has emerged as an enabling technology in the realization of a spectrum-efficient and delay-sensitive industrial wireless communication where nodes are capable of responding in real-time. However, particularly ...

The overcrowding of the wireless space has triggered a strict competition for scare network resources. Therefore, there is a need for a dynamic spectrum access (DSA) technique that will ensure fair allocation of the ...
