IEEE Communications Surveys Tutorials: LTE-Based Public Safety Networks: A Survey

A. Jarwan, A. Sabbah, M. Ibnkahla, and O. Issa   Public safety networks (PSNs) are very crucial for public protection and disaster relief (PPDR). Land mobile radio (LMR) technologies have been used extensively in the deployment of PSNs so far. LMR networks support sophisticated voice applications that can, to some extent, deal with the...

Encyclopedia of Wireless Networks (Book Section): Machine Learning in Wireless Sensor Networks for the Internet of Things

Abdallah Jarwan; Ayman Sabbah; Mohamed Ibnkahla   In usual ways of programming, a program is built by building instructions in order to reach desired outputs from inputs. However, in machine learning (ML), that process is flipped. The inputs and desired set of outputs are given, and the program should learn what instructions or policy... More
