The filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC) technique is being considered as the major candidates for the 5G schemes. The orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technique is used in 4G but it has drawbacks such as higher Out-of-Band (OOB) power reduction, and higher peak to average power ratio (PAPR). OFDM uses cyclic prefix (CP) extension to overcome…

The 5G, as a new source of telecommunication infrastructure technology, has attracted many stakeholders to promote the progress of its standards and the development of its technology industry. The 5G reinforces new technologies and delivers vehicles for everything services (V2X) to drivers and passengers. It also offers several advantages. On the other hand, due to…

The main advantage of software-defined visible light communication (VLC) systems is that they allow us to reuse modulation, coding, synchronization and medium access techniques used in conventional radio systems. This article focuses on the implementation of an uplink alternative using an infrared (IR) light communication system. For this goal, analog front-ends are designed and implemented.…

In their verbal interactions, humans are often afforded with language barriers and communication problems and disabilities. This problem is even more serious in the fields of education and health care for children with special needs. The use of robotic agents, notably humanoids integrated within human groups, is a very important option to face these limitations.…

Communication is a bilateral process and being understood by the person you are talking to is a must. Without the ability to talk nor hear, a person would endure such handicap. Given that hearing and speech are missing, many have ventured to open new communication methods for them through sign language. This bilateral communication device…

Fraud calls have a serious impact on telecommunications operator revenues. Fraud detection is very important because service providers can feel a significant loss of income. We conducted a fraud research case study on one of the operators that experienced fraud in 2009 and 2018. Call Detail Record (CDR) containing records of customer conversations such as…

Visible light communication (VLC) that simultaneously gives illumination and information transmission abilities, is recognized as a hopeful competitor for prospective wireless net- works. Furthermore, a channel adaptive collaborative constellation (CASCC) with the capacity of adapting according to the channel condition to enhance the bit error rate (BER) while concurrently improving the versatility of the receiver…

We describe an efficient system-level simulator that, starting from the architecture of a well-specified transmissive medium (a channel modelled as single-ended or coupled differential microstrips plus cables) and including the system-level characteristics of transmitter and receiver (voltage swing, impedance, etc.), computes the eye diagram and the bit-error rate that is obtained in high-speed serial interfaces.…
