A condition monitoring platform using COTS wireless sensor networks - Lessons and experience

Developments in Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), wireless communication systems and ad-hoc networking have created new dimensions to improve asset management not only during the operational phase but throughout an asset's lifecycle based on using improved quality of information obtained with respect to two key aspects of an asset: its location and condition. In this paper, we present our experience as well as lessons learnt from building a prototype condition monitoring platform to demonstrate and to evaluate the use of COTS wireless sensor networks to develop a prototype condition monitoring platform with the aim of improving asset management by providing accurate and real-time information. © 2010 IEEE.

Error Control Coding for B3G/4G Wireless Systems

The book begins by detailing the fundamentals of advanced coding techniques such as Coding, Decoding, Design, and Optimization.

Wideband wireless over fiber systems

Broadband radio over fiber systems, which can simultaneously distribute multiple wireless services and enable remote sensing, are reviewed. The systems are used to demonstrate improved remote passive RFID tag detection through the use of multiple antennas. © 2009 Optical Society of America.
