While animations can minimize attention costs for desktop notifications, their application for Optical see-through Head-Mounted Display (OHMD) notifications is underexplored. To investigate the effectiveness of animation on OHMD notifications in ...

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are characterized by various functions, such as flexibility and easy operation, which enable them to be widely used in certain dangerous scenarios. Considering that the cooperative working mode of multi-UAV will have an ...

The coexistence of many internet of things (IoT) networks in smart buildings poses a major challenge because they interfere mutually. In most settings this results in a greedy approach where each IoT node optimises its own performance parameters like ...

Mitigating the effect of fading in wireless networks has been a prominent benefit associated with cooperative relaying. Especially in multi‐relay scenarios, efficient resource allocation can drastically improve the performance of cooperative systems ...
