@article{ author = {Esmailpour, Amir and Nasser, Nidal}, title = {A Backup Routing Scheme for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks}, abstract ={In recent years, performance of the Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) has become an important research area in the wireless networks community. MANET consists of clusters of Mobile Nodes (MNs) on the access network that could be connected to other clusters through a fixed backbone of routers. The access link contention can severely constrain the end-to-end throughput of the path between a pair of source and destination MNs connected through the backbone. In this paper, we propose an integrated routing system for MANET that includes the backbone paths and the ad-hoc paths formed as a result of direct communication among MNs without going through the backbone. In our proposed routing system, an alternative ad-hoc path can be used only when the primary backbone path is severely constrained due to access links contention. We also propose a scheme for making the MN aware of link quality measures, and incorporate throughput metric in the core of AODV. We implemented the proposed routing system in the OPNET simulator, and evaluated the performance of our scheme under a variety of conditions. Simulation results show that the alternative ad-hoc path is effective in delivering higher throughput when the backbone path is severely constrained.}, Keywords = { MANET, Wireless Mesh Network (WMN), On-demand routing, Link-state routing }, volume = {1}, Number = {3}, pages = {1-13}, publisher = {ICT Research Institute(ITRC)}, title_fa = {}, abstract_fa ={}, keywords_fa = {}, url = {http://ijict.itrc.ac.ir/article-1-281-en.html}, eprint = {http://ijict.itrc.ac.ir/article-1-281-en.pdf}, journal = {International Journal of Information and Communication Technology Research}, issn = {2251-6107}, eissn = {2783-4425}, year = {2009} } @article{ author = {Ehsani, Akbar and Asi, Seyed Mostafa and Shamsfard, Mehrnoush and ArabYarmohammadi, Mahs}, title = {Designing and Developing a Wordnet for Persian Nouns Pages}, abstract ={This paper discusses the process of designing and developing the Persian noun Wordnet as an important tool for natural language processing.

On the other hand, using wireless MIMO systems, the channel capacity is significantly increased without additional signal power or bandwidth.

By the analysis of Perso-Arabic script and its problems, the various collocation types of the tokens including the compositional, non-compositional and the new semi­compositional constructions are described in the present paper. Then, to illustrate these constructions, the static and dynamic multi-token units will be presented for the generative and non-generative structures of the main categories including the verbs, infinitives, prepositions, conjunctions, adverbs, adjectives and nouns. Defining the multi-token unit templates for these categories is one of the important results of this research.

Traditional transport layer protocols (such as TCP and UDP) can't directly be applied to the WSNs. Generally transport layer is responsible for congestion control and reliable packet delivery. Congestion is an essential problem in WSNs. It not only wastes the scarce energy due to a large number of retransmissions and packet drops, but also hampers the event detection reliability. Thus, to meet the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of network applications, a reliable and fair transport protocol is mandatory. In this paper we present a reliable transport protocol for wireless sensor networks which not only controls the congestion in the network, but also provides reliability in packet delivery. The proposed model uses a rate control mechanism to adjust the transmission rate of each sensor node based on the congestion degree in the network. We use the time to recover packet loss as a congestion indicator. To use a node's energy efficiently, we use a hop-by-hop NACK based reliability guaranty model. Simulation results, confirm the superiority of the proposed model.}, Keywords = {Wireless Sensor Networks, Congestion Control, Reliability, Transport Protocols, Rate based control }, volume = {1}, Number = {3}, pages = {35-43}, publisher = {ICT Research Institute(ITRC)}, title_fa = {}, abstract_fa ={}, keywords_fa = {}, url = {http://ijict.itrc.ac.ir/article-1-284-en.html}, eprint = {http://ijict.itrc.ac.ir/article-1-284-en.pdf}, journal = {International Journal of Information and Communication Technology Research}, issn = {2251-6107}, eissn = {2783-4425}, year = {2009} } @article{ author = {Nasir, Qassim and AI-Araji, Saleh}, title = {Performance Analysis of Zero Crossing DPLL with Linearized Phase Detector}, abstract ={This work introduces a new structure of Zero Crossing Digital Phase Locked Loop with Arc Sine block (ASZCDPLL) to linearize the phase difference detection, and enhance the loop performance.
