Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 23Voronoi Boundary Visibility for Efficient Path Planning(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2020) Al-Dahhan, Mohammed Rabeea Hashim; Schmidt, Klaus WernerThe subject of this paper is the computation of paths for mobile robots that navigate from a start position to a goal position in environments with static obstacles. Specifically, we focus on paths that are represented by straight lines. Such paths can for example directly be followed by omni-directional robots or can be used as an initial solution for path smoothing. In this context, the most common performance metrics are the path length, the obstacle clearance and the computation time. In this paper, we develop a new path planning algorithm that addresses all the stated performance metrics. Our method first determines all possible connections between the start position and goal position along the edges of the generalized Voronoi diagram (GVD) of a given obstacle map. The shortest connections are then refined using a balanced method for creating shortcuts along existing waypoints and introducing new waypoints in order to cut corners. As an important feature, our method reduces the number of required waypoints by iteratively adding new waypoints and then removing unnecessary waypoints along solution paths. Moreover, our method takes into account multiple start-goal connections, since the shortest start-goal connection along the edges of the GVD might not lead to the shortest solution path. A comprehensive computational evaluation for a large number of maps with different properties shows that the proposed method outperforms sampling-based algorithms such as Probabilistic Roadmaps (PRM) and exact methods such as Visibility Graphs (VG) by computing close-to-optimal solution paths with a specified minimum obstacle clearance in less time.Editorial Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Comments on "on the Modified Theory of Physical Optics(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2014) Umul, Yusuf Z.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Collision Free Row Column S-Random Interleaver(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2009) Yilmaz, A. Oezguer; Gazi, OrhanParallel decodable turbo codes (PDTCs) are suitable for concurrent decoding and hence have low latency. Memory collision issue is an important problem met during parallel processing. In this article, we propose a collision free interleaver for parallel processing operations. The performance of PDTCs is analyzed with the proposed random interleaver preventing the memory collision problem. Distance spectra of PDTCs with the proposed interleaves are computed and compared to those with S-random interleaver.Article Citation - WoS: 31Noise-Aided Belief Propagation List Decoding of Polar Codes(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2019) Gazi, Orhan; Arli, A. CagriNoise can help weak information bearing signal to be detected in nonlinear systems by the use of stochastic perturbation. In this letter, we propose a novel belief propagation list (BPL) decoder that relies on artificial noise. The proposed decoder is constructed by using parallel independent BP decoders. Noise with different powers are added to different BP decoders that runs in parallel, and the output of the decoder that pass the early detection and termination criteria check is considered as the recovered data. Adding small amount of noise enables the decoder to handle un-converged errors. The obtained results show that the performance of noise-aided BPL decoder is much better than the performances of BP, successive cancelation (SC), and successive cancelation list (SCL) decoders, and it is a bit behind of cyclic redundancy check aided SCL in terms of bit-error rate performance.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 10Spectrum-Aware and Energy-Adaptive Reliable Transport for Internet of Sensing Things(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2018) Bicen, A. Ozan; Ergul, Ozgur; Akan, Ozgur B.; Ozan Bicen, A.Wireless sensors equipped with cognitive radio, i.e., cognitive radio sensor networks (CRSN), can access the spectrum in an opportunistic manner and coexist with licensed users to mitigate the crowded spectrum problem and provide ubiquitous remote event monitoring and tracking for cyber-physical systems. In this paper, a novel transport layer protocol for CRSN, spectrum-aware energy-adaptive reliable transport protocol is presented to enable energy-adaptive collaborative event sensing in spectrum-scarce cyber-physical systems. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to specifically devise a reliable event transport scheme for CRSN.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10Scattering of Evanescent Plane Waves by a Black Wedge at the Interface Between Isorefractive Media(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2016) Basdemir, Husnu DenizThe scattering of evanescent plane waves by a black wedge located at the interface of two isorefractive media is investigated in order to extend the results for the perfectly conducting half-plane case reported by Uslenghi (2013). The geometrical optics, in addition to the diffracted and scattered fields, are analyzed numerically. The effect of the isorefractive media on the diffracted field and the effect of the evanescent plane-wave excitation on the scattered field are also examined.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 12Scattering of Waves by a Perfectly Conducting Wedge Residing at the Interface Between Two Isorefractive Media(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2016) Basdemir, Husnu DenizScattered field by a wedge that is surrounded by isorefractive media is analyzed. A series-based method is introduced and applied to the wedge problem with soft boundary condition. The fields are examined numerically. The numerical results show that the proposed method is suitable for analysis of these kinds of problems.Article Citation - WoS: 72Citation - Scopus: 85Entropy-Functional Online Adaptive Decision Fusion Framework With Application To Wildfire Detection in Video(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2012) Toreyin, Behcet Ugur; Kose, Kivanc; Cetin, A. Enis; Gunay, OsmanIn this paper, an entropy-functional-based online adaptive decision fusion (EADF) framework is developed for image analysis and computer vision applications. In this framework, it is assumed that the compound algorithm consists of several subalgorithms, each of which yields its own decision as a real number centered around zero, representing the confidence level of that particular subalgorithm. Decision values are linearly combined with weights that are updated online according to an active fusion method based on performing entropic projections onto convex sets describing subalgorithms. It is assumed that there is an oracle, who is usually a human operator, providing feedback to the decision fusion method. A video-based wildfire detection system was developed to evaluate the performance of the decision fusion algorithm. In this case, image data arrive sequentially, and the oracle is the security guard of the forest lookout tower, verifying the decision of the combined algorithm. The simulation results are presented.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 13An Online Adaptive Cooperation Scheme for Spectrum Sensing Based on a Second-Order Statistical Method(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2012) Toreyin, Behcet Ugur; Qaraqe, Khalid A.; Cetin, A. Enis; Yarkan, SerhanSpectrum sensing is one of the most important features of cognitive radio (CR) systems. Although spectrum sensing can be performed by a single CR, it is shown in the literature that cooperative techniques, including multiple CRs/sensors, improve the performance and reliability of spectrum sensing. Existing cooperation techniques usually assume a static communication scenario between the unknown source and sensors along with a fixed propagation environment class. In this paper, an online adaptive cooperation scheme is proposed for spectrum sensing to maintain the level of sensing reliability and performance under changing channel and environmental conditions. Each cooperating sensor analyzes second-order statistics of the received signal, which undergoes both correlated fast and slow fading. Autocorrelation estimation data from sensors are fused together by an adaptive weighted linear combination at the fusion center. Weight update operation is performed online through the use of orthogonal projection onto convex sets. Numerical results show that the performance of the proposed scheme is maintained for dynamically changing characteristics of the channel between an unknown source and sensors, even under different physical propagation environments. In addition, it is shown that the proposed cooperative scheme, which is based on second-order detectors, yields better results compared with the same fusion mechanism that is based on conventional energy detectors.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Bounds for Generalized Gamma Distributed Fading Channels(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2011) Gazi, OrhanIn this article, upper bounds for the outage probability and moment generating functions of the fading channels with alpha - mu distribution are derived. The proposed upper bound for the moment generating function is used in the performance evaluation of M - PSK communication systems. The derived expressions are simple to use and do not require complex software tools to evaluate. We verified the proposed expressions via numerical computations.
