This paper presents a novel compact, wideband, four directional radiation patterns, antenna. The radiating element topology is inspired from the Annular Slot Antenna (ASA) and printed wideband monopole. The antenna is designed for North American ATSC-TV indoor reception. For an S11<;-6dB, it covers both High-VHF and UHF bands. It presents four relatively uncorre…

The polarization of the BSC(γ 1 ) with a BSC(γ 2 ) is characterized explicitly for γ 1 , γ 2 ∈ [0, 1/2]. The polarization yields a channel W - which is a BSC(λ), and a channel W + which is composed of a BSC(ξ) with probability 1 - λ and a BSC(φ) with probability λ. The parameters λ, ξ and φ are functions of γ 1 and γ 2 . For a general binary-input, output-symmet…
We propose XRC, an explicit rate control algorithm that overcomes the poor performance of commonly used TCP variants in cellular networks. XRC exploits an explicit feedback from the radio access network that is aware of the physical, network and transport layer information of all UEs as well as resource distribution policies among users with different traffic ch…

This paper presents a novel compact hybrid monopole- Annular Slot Antenna (ASA). The proposed antenna combines the advantages of an ASA with the broadband feature of a wideband monopole. The antenna simulated performance is thoroughly analyzed and validated via measurements.

This paper presents a novel planar compact integrated four-sector antenna for sub-6GHz 5G indoor access and content distribution over 2.45GHz/ 5.5GHz dual-band WiFi in 2x2 MIMO configuration. The four sectors, for 5G applications, are obtained via Vivaldi antennas with ground reuse for achieving very compact dimensions. A compact two-port slot antenna with a cro…

Wi-Fi is the preferred way of accessing the Internet for many devices at home, but it is vulnerable to performance problems. The analysis of Wi-Fi quality metrics such as RSSI or PHY rate may indicate a number of problems, but users may not notice many of these problems if they don't degrade the performance of the applications they are using. In this work, we st…
