Topology and congestion invariant in global internet-scale networks
(2010)
Infrastructures like telecommunication systems, power transmission
grids and the Internet are complex networks that are vulnerable to
catastrophic failure. A common mechanism behind this kind of failure
is avalanche-like ...
Automatic chord transcription from audio using computational models of musical context
(2010)
This thesis is concerned with the automatic transcription of chords from audio, with an emphasis
on modern popular music. Musical context such as the key and the structural segmentation aid
the interpretation of chords ...
An intelligent radio access network selection and optimisation system in heterogeneous communication environments
(2010)
The overlapping of the different wireless network technologies creates heterogeneous communication environments. Future mobile communication system considers the technological and operational services of heterogeneous ...
Strategies for image visualisation and browsing
(2010)
The exploration of large information spaces has remained a challenging task even
though the proliferation of database management systems and the state-of-the art
retrieval algorithms is becoming pervasive. Signi cant ...
Multi modal multi-semantic image retrieval
(2010)
The rapid growth in the volume of visual information, e.g. image, and video can
overwhelm users’ ability to find and access the specific visual information of interest
to them. In recent years, ontology knowledge-based ...
Simplifying large-scale communication networks with weights and cycles
(2010)
A communication network is a complex network designed to transfer information from a
source to a destination. One of the most important property in a communication network is
the existence of alternative routes between ...
Multi-resolution time-domain modelling technique and its applications in electromagnetic band gap enhanced antennas
(Queen Mary University of London, 2010)
Newly emerged Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) structures possess multiple frequency
bands that prohibit wave propagation and such stop bands are basically determined by
the periodicity of the structure. Such desirable ...
Radio resource allocation in relay based OFDMA cellular networks
(Queen Mary University of London, 2010)
Adding relay stations (RS) between the base station (BS) and the mobile stations (MS) in a cellular system can extend network coverage, overcome multi-path fading and increase the capacity of the system.
This thesis ...
Flexible distributed computing with volunteered resources
(Queen Mary University of London, 2010)
Nowadays, computational grids have evolved to a stage where they can comprise many
volunteered resources owned by different individual users and/or institutions, such as desktop
grids and volunteered computing grids. ...
Characterisation of human body and environmental effects on the performance of mobile terminal antennas
(Queen Mary University of London, 2010)
Provision of efficient services to the user anywhere at anytime is being a centre of research
and development in Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN) and Wireless Body Area
Networks (WBAN). Antenna is the essential ...
