This research was conducted with case…

While the Kalman filter, including its many variants, has been the staple of the tracking community, it also has been shown to have drawbacks, particularly when tracking through a maneuver. The most common issue is a lag in the position of the target track compared to the true target position as the target performs its…

The IEEE 802.11n wireless local-area network (WLAN) has been extensively deployed around the world due to the flexibility, lower cost, and the high-speed data transmission capability at 2.4 GHz ISM band. However, in the WLAN deployment, one key challenge is to optimize the channel assignment of access-points (APs) under the small number of partially overlapping…
