Cooperative Spectrum Sharing in Cognitive Radio Networking
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-21)Driven by the massive growth in communications data traffic as well as flourishing users' demands, we need to fully utilize the existing scarce spectrum resource. However, there have been several studies and reports over ... -
Cooperative Techniques for Next Generation HF Communication Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-23)The high frequency (HF) band lies within 2-30 MHz of the electromagnetic spectrum. For decades, the HF band has been recognized as the primary means of long-range wireless communications. When satellite communication first ... -
Cooperative Training in Multiple Classifier Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-15)Multiple classifier system has shown to be an effective technique for classification. The success of multiple classifiers does not entirely depend on the base classifiers and/or the aggregation technique. Other parameters, ... -
Cooperative Vehicle Perception and Localization Using Infrastructure-based Sensor Nodes
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-17)Reliable and accurate Perception and Localization (PL) are necessary for safe intelligent transportation systems. The current vehicle-based PL techniques in autonomous vehicles are vulnerable to occlusion and cluttering, ... -
Cooperative Water Resources Allocation among Competing Users
(University of Waterloo, 2005)A comprehensive model named the Cooperative Water Allocation Model (CWAM) is developed for modeling equitable and efficient water allocation among competing users at the basin scale, based on a multiperiod node-link river ... -
Coordinated Landing and Mapping with Aerial and Ground Vehicle Teams
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-19)Micro Umanned Aerial Vehicle~(UAV) and Umanned Ground Vehicle~(UGV) teams present tremendous opportunities in expanding the range of operations for these vehicles. An effective coordination of these vehicles can take ... -
Coordinated Operation of Distributed Energy Resources in Renewables Based Microgrids under Uncertainties
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-23)In recent years, the share of renewable energy sources (RESs) has been increasing in the electricity generation mix with a mandate to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that are released from burning fossil fuels. Indeed, a ... -
Coordinated path following: A nested invariant sets approach
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-20)In this thesis we study a coordinated path following problem for multi-agent systems. Each agent is modelled by a smooth, nonlinear, autonomous, deterministic control-affine ordinary differential equation. Coordinated ... -
Coordinated Volt/Var Control in Smart Distribution System with Distributed Generators
(University of Waterloo, 2015-04-28)The high penetration level of Distributed Generation (DG) is one of the most attractive features of the smart grid aside from being automatic, modern, reliable and efficient. However, high penetration comes with more ... -
