This work proposes an analytical framework to study how relay selection strategies perform in half- and full-duplex deployments by combining renewal theory and stochastic geometry. Specifically, we assume that the network ...

Capitalizing on the benefits of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and full-duplex relaying as key technologies to boost spectral efficiency in the next generation of wireless communications, herein we investigate the ...

We propose an adaptive transmission scheme for cognitive decode-and-forward relaying networks, whereby, before each communication process, one out of three transmission modes is dynamically selected in order to maximize ...

Fault development models are crucial to predict geometry and distribution of fractures at all scales. We present here structures related to the development of the Bolfin Fault in the Atacama Fault System (AFS), covering a ...

Considering that many applications of Lean Duplex Stainless Steels (LDSSs) involve cyclic loading, the aim of this paper is to study short crack initiation and growth during low (LCF) and high cycle fatigue (HCF) in AL ...
