Elle associe plusieurs antennes à l'émission et à la réception. En plus de la diversité spatiale, le système MIMO permet d'augmenter le gain de multiplexage sans avoir besoin de plus de bande passante ou de puissance d'émission. Cependant, la technique MIMO a des limites liées au coût d'installation de plusieurs antennes sur un terminal, et a l'écart minimal exigé entre les antennes. La communication coopérative a été proposée comme une technologie alternative, dans laquelle la diversité spatiale peut être réalisée en coordonnant plusieurs nœuds qui sont proches géographiquement pour former des réseaux d'antennes virtuelles. La coopération permet de lutter contre l'instabilité du canal radio et de faire face aux phénomènes qui le perturbent comme les évanouissements, les bruits, ou les interférences. Elle permet aussi d'améliorer les performances du système en termes de débit global, d'énergie consommée et d'interférences, etc. Dans le cadre des communications coopératives, nous avons proposé deux protocoles MAC coopératifs dans le contexte des réseaux ad hoc. La première proposition est le protocole RACT (Rate Adaptation with Cooperative Transmission). Ce protocole combine la coopération avec un mécanisme d'adaptation de débit. Lorsqu'un lien entre une source et une destination subit de mauvaises conditions de canal, une station relais est sélectionnée dans le voisinage des deux nœuds de sorte que la liaison directe à faible débit de transmission soit remplacée par un lien à deux sauts avec un débit de données plus élevé. La sélection du meilleur relais est fondée sur un processus de contention distribué. La procédure ne nécessite aucune connaissance de la topologie et aucune communication entre les relais potentiels. Lorsque la qualité de la liaison directe est bonne et que la transmission coopérative n'est pas nécessaire, le protocole fonctionne comme un mécanisme d'adaptation de débit. L'adaptation de débit de données est également réalisée sans aucune signalisation supplémentaire. La sélection du meilleur relais et l'adaptation de débit sont fondés sur des mesures instantanées du canal pour s'adapter aux conditions dynamiques du canal radio. Dans le but d'améliorer davantage les performances du système, nous avons proposé notre deuxième protocole MAC coopératif PRACT (Power and Rate Adaptation with Cooperative Transmission). Ce protocole combine un mécanisme d'adaptation de puissance et de débit (TPRC : Transmit Power and Rate Control) avec un mécanisme de coopération. C'est en cela que cette contribution se distingue des solutions proposées dans la littérature. Notre objectif avec cette contribution est d'atteindre une efficacité d'énergie pour la transmission des données tout en augmentant le débit global du réseau. PRACT propose d'ajuster dynamiquement la puissance et le débit de transmission en s'adaptant aux variations de la qualité du canal radio. Cela permet de gagner davantage dans l'énergie économisée. En outre, le contrôle de puissance, réduit les interférences et augmente la réutilisation spatiale entre cellules ad hoc adjacentes en utilisant la même fréquence de transmission. L'idée de base du protocole est de permettre à chaque nœud dans le réseau ad hoc de créer une table avec les combinaisons puissance-débit optimales, en se fondant seulement sur les spécifications de la carte réseau, à savoir, les débits de transmission possible et la consommation en énergie de la carte. Avec la connaissance des qualités des liens obtenue grâce à l'échange des trames de contrôle et en recherchant dans la table puissance-débit, les nœuds choisissent la stratégie de transmission la plus adaptée pour chaque transmission de trames de données, ainsi que le mode de transmission (direct ou coopératif).

Book excerpt: La première partie de cette thèse, étudie les problèmes spécifiques des réseaux de capteurs sans fil. Pour une application d'estimation de champs, nous proposons deux protocoles de niveau application et un protocole de transport afin de réduire la quantité de données transmise et la consommation d'énergie. Les résultats montrent un compromis entre le volume de données et la qualité de l'estimation. La configuration doit être bien choisie pour maximiser la performance et assurer la robustesse. La deuxième partie du travail étudie le routage dans les réseaux avec diversité coopérative. Les résultats montrent que les politiques de routage basées sur les conditions instantanées des canaux sont inefficients quand l'évanouissement provoque des variations rapides aux canaux sans fil. Nous proposons une métrique de routage qui prend compte des variations des canaux au long du temps. L'utilisation de la métrique proposée permet la sélection de routes qui présentent un taux de perte réduit.

This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blockchain is widely considered a new key technology. The Foundation for Technology Assessment (TA-SWISS) has proposed a comprehensive assessment of blockchain technologies. With this publication, TA-SWISS provides the much-needed social contextualisation of blockchain. The first, more technical part of the study takes an in-depth look at how blockchain functions and examines the economic potential of this technology. By analysing multiple real-world applications, the study sheds light on where the blockchain has advantages over traditional applications and where existing technologies continue to be the better solution. The second part of the study examines how blockchain became mainstream. It explores the origins of blockchain in the early history of information technology and computer networks. The study also reveals the impact blockchain has on industrial and public spaces. Finally, it discusses the social implications and challenges of blockchain against the background of a new socio-technical environment.

Book excerpt: "Your Mindful Compass" takes us behind the emotional curtain to see the mechanisms regulating individuals in social systems. There is great comfort and wisdom in knowing we can increase our awareness to manage the swift and ancient mechanisms of social control. We can gain greater flexibility by seeing how social controls work in systems from ants to humans. To be less controlled by others, we learn how emotional systems influence our relationship-oriented brain. People want to know what goes on in families that give rise to amazing leaders and/or terrorists. For the first time in history we can understand the systems in which we live. The social sciences have been accumulating knowledge since the early fifties as to how we are regulated by others. S. Milgram, S. Ashe, P. Zimbardo and J. Calhoun, detail the vulnerability to being duped and deceived and the difficulty of cooperating when values differ. Murray Bowen, M.D., the first researcher to observe several live-in families, for up to three years, at the National Institute of Mental Health. Describing how family members overly influence one another and distribute stress unevenly, Bowen described both how symptoms and family leaders emerge in highly stressed families. Our brain is not organized to automatically perceive that each family has an emotional system, fine-tuned by evolution and "valuing" its survival as a whole, as much as the survival of any individual. It is easier to see this emotional system function in ants or mice but not in humans. The emotional system is organized to snooker us humans: encouraging us to take sides, run away from others, to pressure others, to get sick, to blame others, and to have great difficulty in seeing our part in problems. It is hard to see that we become anxious, stressed out and even that we are difficult to deal with. But "thinking systems" can open the doors of perception, allowing us to experience the world in a different way. This book offers both coaching ideas and stories from leaders as to strategies to break out from social control by de-triangling, using paradoxes, reversals and other types of interruptions of highly linked emotional processes. Time is needed to think clearly about the automatic nature of the two against one triangle. Time and experience is required as we learn strategies to put two people together and get self outside the control of the system. In addition, it takes time to clarify and define one's principles, to know what "I" will or will not do and to be able to take a stand with others with whom we are very involved. The good news is that systems' thinking is possible for anyone. It is always possible for an individual to understand feelings and to integrate them with their more rational brains. In so doing, an individual increases his or her ability to communicate despite misunderstandings or even rejection from important others. The effort involved in creating your Mindful Compass enables us to perceive the relationship system without experiencing it's threats. The four points on the Mindful Compass are: 1) Action for Self, 2) Resistance to Forward Progress, 3) Knowledge of Social Systems and the 4) The Ability to Stand Alone. Each gives us a view of the process one enters when making an effort to define a self and build an emotional backbone. It is not easy to find our way through the social jungle. The ability to know emotional systems well enough to take a position for self and to become more differentiated is part of the natural way humans cope with pressure. Now people can use available knowledge to build an emotional backbone, by thoughtfully altering their part in the relationship system. No one knows how far one can go by making an effort to be more of a self-defined individual in relationships to others. Through increasing emotional maturity, we can find greater individual freedom at the same time that we increase our ability to cooperate and to be close to others.

This book was released on 2021-01-20 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years ago, Markoosie Patsauq, then a bush pilot in his late twenties living in the tiny, isolated High Arctic community of Resolute, spent his spare time quietly writing a story that effectively emerged as the first Indigenous novel released in Canada. Published in English under the title Harpoon of the Hunter in 1970 by McGill-Queen's University Press, that version of the story was Patsauq's own adaptation. In the years that followed the widely acclaimed English edition was translated into many different languages, but what has remained obscured until the present day is the Inuktitut text originally produced by the author. In collaboration with Patsauq, Valerie Henitiuk and Marc-Antoine Mahieu have foregrounded the original Inuktitut text to inform their translations into both English and French. This critical edition, complete with the story in both Inuktitut syllabics and Latin script, utilizes the author's handwritten manuscript as well as interviews with Patsauq to produce a new, rigorous examination of this literary and cultural milestone. This work also includes the first comprehensive account of the critical response to his writing while underscoring the way the much-altered English adaptation from 1970 shaped that response. A momentous achievement that situates a new classic in the twenty-first century, Hunter with Harpoon brings readers back to the roots of Markoosie Patsauq's Inuit story to experience it as it was originally written.

This book was released on 2020-04 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores central scenes and conceptual elaborations of what historically has been called "the problem" or "the problematic." The chapters contextualize the (re-)arising of this notion within the history of power and knowledge since the late nineteenth century, leading up to today's neocybernetic fascination with control and generalized management ideas which form a constitutive part of the power/knowledge complex of environmentality. By way of considering modes of problematization as modes of inhabitation, the volume maps its current conceptual-political uses as well as onto-epistemological challenges. Thus, "problematization" is positioned as a critical concept.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biosocialities, Genetics and the Social Sciences explores the social, cultural and economic transformations that result from innovations in genomic knowledge and technology. This pioneering collection uses Paul Rabinow’s concept of biosociality to chart the shifts in social relations and ideas about nature, biology and identity brought about by developments in biomedicine. Based on new empirical research, it contains chapters on genomic research into embryonic stem cell therapy, breast cancer, autism, Parkinson’s and IVF treatment, as well as on the expectations and education surrounding genomic research. It covers four main themes: novel modes of identity and identification, such as genetic citizenship the role of institutions, ranging from disease advocacy organizations and voluntary organizations to the state the production of biological knowledge, novel life-forms, and technologies the generation of wealth and commercial interests in biology. Including an afterword by Paul Rabinow and case studies on the UK, US, Canada, Germany, India and Israel, this book is key reading for students and researchers of the new genetics and the social sciences – particularly medical sociologists, medical anthropologists and those involved with science and technology studies.
