The new era of mobile communications is dictated by the user demand for robust and high speed connections, data hungry applications and seamless connectivity. Operators and researchers all over the world are challenged to ...
As numerous mobile applications and over-the-top (OTT) services emerge and mobile Internet connectivity becomes ubiquitous, the provision of high quality of service (QoS) is more challenging for mobile network operators ...
En la última década, la cooperación entre usuarios ha generado un gran interés por la posibilidad de mejorar la velocidad de transmisión en las redes de comunicaciones inalámbricas. El objetivo es formar un array con las ...
Nowadays, optical access networks provide high capacity to end users with growing availability of multimedia contents that can be streamed to fixed or mobile devices. In this regard, one of the most flexible and low-cost ...
The increasing demand for wireless products to be part of our daily lives brings the need for longer battery lifetime, smaller size and lower cost. To increase battery lifetime, high efficiency power amplifiers (PAs) are ...
The explosive growth of wireless communications has brought new requirements in terms of compactness, mobility and multi-functionality that pushes antenna research. In this context, recon gurable antennas have gained a lot ...
A new passive optical network (PON) for access, making use of ultra-dense wavelength division multiplexing (UDWDM) by densely spacing channels by a few gigahertz and introducing the "wavelength-to-the-user" concept, is ...
One of the central problems in computer vision is the automatic recognition of object classes. In particular, the detection of the class of human faces is a problem that generates special interest due to the large number ...
In this thesis, we exploit the hierarchical information associated with images to tackle two fundamental problems of computer vision: video object segmentation and video segmentation. In the first part of the thesis, we ...
La transmisión asistida por relay o transmisión cooperativa es una nueva técnica de diversidad espacial donde aparece un elemento nuevo (un relay o un usuario cooperativo) en la tradicional transmisión punto a punto (fuente ...
(English) Monitoring the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is a matter of interest for many applications, such as weather forecasting, pollutant-dispersion models and wind energy. The ABL is the most turbulent part of the ...
The ever-increasing growth of the wireless application and services affirms the importance of the effective usage of the limited radio spectrum. Existing spectrum management policies have led to significant spectrum ...
his dissertation proposes novel techniques for assigning resources of wireless networks by considering that the coverage radii are small, implying that some power consumption sinks not considered so far shouldnow be ...
Upon the demanding requirements brought by next-generation services, current network infrastructures are required to evolve in the way they manage different types of resources at the data layer. To this end, a set of novel ...
Many scientific, industrial and medical applications require the measurement of different physical parameters in order to collect information about the spatially distributed status of some process. Very often this information ...
Navigation and location technologies have been reaching in a major interest where Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is mostly adopted. The limitation of this technology is that direct sky view is needed for reliable ...
Aquesta tesi doctoral mostra la recerca feta en l'àrea de la diarització de locutor per a sales de reunions. En la present s'estudien els algorismes i la implementació d'un sistema en diferit de segmentació i aglomerat de ...
En aquesta tesi s'estudia el problema d'estimació cega de segon ordre en comunicacions digitals. En aquest camp, els símbols transmesos esdevenen paràmetres no desitjats (nuisance parameters) d'estadística no gaussiana que ...
The recent technological advances in the satellite domain such as the use of High Throughput Satellites (HTS) with throughput rates that are magnitudes higher than with previous ones, or the use of large non- Geostationary ...
El inminente lanzamiento de la misión Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS, humedad del terreno y salinidad del mar) de la Agencia Espacial Europea (ESA) permitirá la recuperación sistemática y a escala global de la ...
