Comparison of Empirical Propagation Path Loss Models for Mobile Communication
(Computer Engineering and Intelligent Systems, 2014)Empirical propagation models have found favor in both research and industrial communities owing to their speed of execution and their limited reliance on detailed knowledge of the terrain. In mobile communication the accuracy ... -
Deep Reinforcement Learning based Handover Management for Millimeter Wave Communication
(International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications,, 2021)The Millimeter Wave (mm-wave) band has a broad-spectrum capable of transmitting multi-gigabit per-second date-rate. However, the band suffers seriously from obstruction and high path loss, resulting in line-of-sight (LOS) ... -
A Survey of Machine Learning Applications to Handover Management in 5G and Beyond
(IEEE, 2021-03-19)Handover (HO) is one of the key aspects of next-generation (NG) cellular communication networks that need to be properly managed since it poses multiple threats to quality-of-service (QoS) such as the reduction in the ... -
Modelling the Control of the Impact of Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) Infestations on Maize Production
(Hindawi, 2021-02-18)In this paper, we propose and analyze a stage-structured mathematical model for modelling the control of the impact of Fall Armyworm infestations on maize production. Preliminary analysis of the model in the vegetative and ... -
Modeling and analysis of taeniasis and cysticercosis transmission dynamics in humans, pigs and cattle
(Springer Nature, 2021-03-19)Taeniasis and cysticercosis pose a significant challenge to food safety and public health. Cysticercosis reduces the market value for pigs and cattle by making pork and beef unsafe for consumption. In this paper, a ... -
