Visible light communication (VLC) builds upon the dual use of existing lighting infrastructure for wireless data transmission. VLC has recently gained interest as cost-effective, secure, and energy-efficient wireless access technology…
While the radio spectrum allocation is well regulated, there is little knowledge about its actual utilization over time and space. This limitation hinders taking effective actions in various applications including cognitive radios,…
Internet-connected smart devices are increasing at an exponential rate. These powerful devices have created a yet-untapped pool of idle resources that can be utilised, among others, for processing data in resource-depleted environments. The…
This paper describes how home appliances might be enhanced to improve user awareness of energy usage. Households wish to lead comfortable and manageable lives. Balancing this reasonable desire with the environmental and political goal of…
A recent technology known as transparent screens is transforming windows into displays. These smart windows are present in buses, airports and offices. They can remain transparent, as a normal window, or display relevant information that…
Regarding to the smart city infrastructures, there is a demand for big data processing and its further usage. This data can be gained by various means. There are many IoT devices in the city, which can communicate and share the information…
The traditional user-centered design process can hardly keep up with the ever faster technical development and increasingly diverse user preferences. As a solution, we propose to augment the tried-and-tested approach of conducting user…
Human-computer interaction relies on mouse/touchpad, keyboard, and screen, but tools have recently been developed that engage sound, smell, touch, muscular resistance, voice dialogue, balance, and multiple senses at once. How might these…
The paper summarizes our preliminary findings regarding the development and implementation of a newly proposed system based on ICT and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technologies for campus access and facility usage. It is generally…
With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, wireless access points (AP) and internet of things (IoT) devices have been widely deployed in our surroundings. Various types of wireless signals (e.g., Wi-Fi, LoRa, LTE) are…
The opaque nature of many intelligent systems violates established usability principles and thus presents a challenge for human-computer interaction. Research in the field therefore highlights the need for transparency, scrutability,…
One of the bottlenecks of modern communications is to enable sensing and mutual communication simultaneously without causing scheduling conflicts, and how sensing may be leveraged to help directional communication accuracy. To this end, we…
