We present an analytical model for single-slave Bluetooth piconets when the coexistence of multiple interfering devices produces collisions. Closed-form expressions for the channel throughput and the mean packet delay are ...

Bluetooth is a suitable technology to support soft real-time applications like multimedia streams at the personal area network level. In this paper, we analytically evaluate the worst-case deadline failure probability ...

One of the main advantages of the Bluetooth standard is that it provides a way to support ad-hoc connectivity between a variable number of devices at low cost. However, in situations with many Bluetooth devices that coexist ...

In this paper, a system developed for monitoring, assisting and educating people with diabetes, named eDiab, is described. A central node (PDA or mobile phone) is used at the patient’s side for the transmission of medical ...

People with disabilities in general, and wheelchair users in particular, are one of the groups of people that may benefit more from Ambient Intelligent (AmI) Systems, enhancing their autonomy and quality of life. However, ...

Address-Event-Representation (AER) is a communication protocol for transferring images between chips, originally developed for bio-inspired image processing systems. Such systems may consist of a complicated hierarchical ...

Address-event-representation (AER) is a communication protocol for transferring asynchronous events between VLSI chips, originally developed for bio-inspired processing systems (for example, image processing). Such systems ...

A five parameter mismatch model continuos from weak to strong inversion is presented. The model is an extension of a previously reported one valid in the strong inversion region [1]. A mismatch characterization of NMOS ...
