Wireless networks are passing through a transition phase for the past few years now and
this transition is giving a way towards the convergence of all IP-based networks to form the …

Healthcare applications are distinguished by being critical and time sensitive. Multiple
healthcare applications have been implemented through Internet of Things (IoT) technology …

Vertical handover decision (VHD) algorithms are essential components of the architecture of
the forthcoming Fourth Generation (4G) heterogeneous wireless networks. These algorithms …

Network densification is foreseen as a potential solution to fulfill the 5G spectral efficiency
requirements. The spectral efficiency is improved by shrinking base stations'(BSs) footprints …

Mobile applications, such as augment reality, natural language processing, object
recognition and multimedia-based services, are becoming increasingly ubiquitous and can …

Equipped with easy-to-access micro computation access points, the fog computing
architecture provides low-latency and ubiquitously available computation offloading services …

Horizontal and vertical handoffs are important ramifications of user mobility in multitier
heterogeneous wireless networks. They directly impact the signaling overhead and quality …

Next generation heterogeneous wireless networks offer the end users with assurance of
QoS inside each access network as well as during vertical handoff between them. For …

In heterogeneous wireless networks, handoff can be separated into two parts: horizontal
handoff (HHO) and vertical handoff (VHO). VHO plays an important role to fulfill seamless …

While identical twins identification is a well known challenge in face recognition, it seems
that no work has explored automatic ear recognition for identical twin identification. Ear …
