A study of the Dirac-Delta functions with polynomial argument for modeling the signal path-loss in mid-sized urban areas is presented. From the fundamental "spike" property of the Dirac-Delta functions, or simply Delta, ...

Non-technical losses stand for the energy consumed but not billed, affecting the energy grid as a whole. Such an issue somehow prevails in developing countries, harming the quality of energy and preventing social programs ...

Non-technical losses (NTL) identification has been paramount in the last years. However, it is not straightforward to obtain labelled datasets to perform a supervised NTL recognition task. In this paper, the optimum-path ...

The applicability of COST231, WINNER+, ITU-R, and 3GPP urban microcell outdoor-to-indoor path loss prediction models is empirically tested in 100 m radius urban femtocells. The analysis is based on more than 500 link ...
