CEAP by Abdel Wahab, Omar

“…To reduce the overhead of the proposed detection model and make it feasible for the resource-constrained nodes, we reduce the size of the training dataset by (1) restricting the data collection, storage, and analysis to concern only a set of specialized nodes (i.e., Multi-Point Relays) that are responsible for forwarding packets on behalf of their clusters; and (2) migrating only few tuples (i.e., support vectors) from one detection iteration to another. …”

Performance Analysis of FSO Communications With Diversity Methods by Abou-Rjeily, Chadi

“…By comparing the MIMO and cooperative methods with point receivers, we reach the central result that it is always better, from a diversity gain point of view, to add more apertures to the source and destination rather than adding more relays in their vicinity despite the fact that the fading variance along FSO links decreases with the distance. …”
