Proactive spectrum sensing and spectrum sharing for cognitive radio by Ian Bajaj

“…Thus we propose a supervised probing and sensing model that enables a CR to estimate the magnitude of the cross-channel link between itself and the LU, thus allowing for interference-shielding. With probing power playing an essential role in cross-channel estimation, we optimize the incremental probing step-size to allow for the highest estimation success and study its effect on cross-channel estimation error.…”

Optimization in liner industry with new sulphur cap regulation by Yan, Zirui

“…Shipping carries more than 90% of the world’s cargo volume, which plays an essential part in the worldwide trade. Although shipping is considered as an environmentally friendly transportation mode, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) still strives to further reduce the environmental impact by shipping activities, hence, the stricter sulphur regulation, which is known as ‘0.5% low sulphur regulation’, will come into force in year 2020. …”
