Collaborative RF and Lightwave Power Transfer for Next-Generation Wireless Networks
Ha-Vu Tran, Georges Kaddoum, Chadi Abou-Rjeily
Breakthroughs in information and power transfer for wireless networks are imperative in order to satisfy the requirement of wireless nodes for energy sustainability. To this end, s…
Enhanced Minimal Scheduling Function for IEEE802.15.4e TSCH Networks
Taieb Hamza, Georges Kaddoum
MAC layer protocol design in a WSN is crucial due to the limitations on processing capacities and power of wireless sensors. The latest version of the IEEE 802.15.4, referenced to…
Cooperation in NOMA Networks Under Limited User-to-User Communications: Solution and Analysis
Duc-Dung Tran, Ha-Vu Tran, Dac-Binh Ha +1
This paper proposes a new communication protocol for a cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system. In this system, based on users' channel conditions, each two NOMA u…
Cross-Layer Authentication Protocol Design for Ultra-Dense 5G HetNets
Christian Miranda, Georges Kaddoum, Elias Bou-Harb
Creating a secure environment for communications is becoming a significantly challenging task in 5G Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets) given the stringent latency and high capacity r…
Green Cell-less Design for RF-Wireless Power Transfer Networks
Ha-Vu Tran, Georges Kaddoum
This paper studies a new concept so-called green cell-less radio frequency (RF) wireless power transfer (WPT) networks. We consider a scenario in which multiple indoor access point…
RF Wireless Power Transfer: Regreening Future Networks
Ha-Vu Tran, Georges Kaddoum
Green radio communication is an emerging topic since the overall footprint of information and communication technology (ICT) services is predicted to triple between 2007 and 2020.…
Downlink Power Optimization for Heterogeneous Networks with Time Reversal-based Transmission under Backhaul Limitation
Ha-Vu Tran, Georges Kaddoum, Hung Tran +1
In this paper, we investigate an application of two different beamforming techniques and propose a novel downlink power minimization scheme for a two-tier heterogeneous network (He…
