An Alternative Probabilistic Protocol For Relaying Wireless Networks, Faton Maliqi Oct 2020

An Alternative Probabilistic Protocol For Relaying Wireless Networks, Faton Maliqi

UBT International Conference

In this paper we propose an alternative probabilistic protocol for relaying wireless network. Usually, the communication protocols are designed to be deterministic when it comes to the order of retransmission from the communication nodes. In contrast, we propose an alternative probabilistic protocol where the retransmitting nodes are chosen probabilistically, and which allows easier performance optimization. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we will show at which location of the Relay do we get the best performance. Due to energy consuming concern and due to lower complexity advantage, as required in technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), we will consider the case …

Constructing Hadamard Matrices Using Binary Codes, Hizer Leka, Faton Kabashi Oct 2020

Constructing Hadamard Matrices Using Binary Codes, Hizer Leka, Faton Kabashi

UBT International Conference

In this paper is presented a very efficient method for constructing Hadamard matrices, using binary code products. We will construct such matrices using the scalar production of two vectors and the tensor production of Hadamard matrices. This method is based on the representation of the natural number as a binary code which takes only two values 0 or 1. Such a method of generating Hadamard matrices can be used in practice to generate different codes, in telecommunication systems, to correct blocked codes, but also in science as for example in Boolean algebra.
