In this work, a new handover parameter optimization algorithm for the LTE-A networks is presented. Most of the previous solutions that are proposed to solve the handover parameter optimization problem, optimize the handover parameters with considering all of the neighbor cells together. But with the introduction of heterogeneous networks to the LTE-A standards, the deployments are no longer homogeneous and the cell borders have different inter-cell interference conditions that changes according to the different cell types. To overcome this, the new algorithm optimizes the handover parameters for each of the neighbor cell separately. Since the hysteresis and time to trigger parameters cannot differentiate per neighbor cell, along with them, cell individual offset (CIO) values are tuned for providing different handover margins per neighbor cell. The proposed algorithm is tested on a simulation environment along with some of the important previous works. According to the results, the proposed algorithm performs better than the other algorithms while decreasing the handover failures.

SWIM : a new multicast routing algorithm for wireless networks
Akyürek, Alper Sinan; Uysal Bıyıkoğlu, Elif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
In this work, a new multicast routing algorithm for wireless networks is presented. The algorithm, called SWIM (Source-initiated WIreless Multicast), is a depth-optimal multicast tree formation algorithm. SWIM is fully distributed and has an average computational complexity of O(N 2 ). SWIM forms a shared tree from the source(s) to destinations; yet, as a by-product, it creates a multicast mesh structure by maintaining alternative paths at every tree node. This makes SWIM suitable for both ad hoc networks a...
Dynamic modularity based community detection for large scale networks
Aktunç, Rıza; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2015)
In this work, a new fast dynamic community detection framework for large scale networks is presented. Most of the previous community detection algorithms are designed for static networks. Static modularity optimizer framework (SMO), which is introduced by Waltman & Van Eck, consists of such community detection algorithms. However, large scale social networks are dynamic and evolve frequently over time. To quickly detect communities in dynamic large scale networks, we proposed dynamic modularity optimizer fr...
Neural Network Based Beamforming Using a Cylindrical Patch Array
Gureken, Murat; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin; Caylar, Selcuk (2009-06-05)
A neural network algorithm is implemented for beamforming problem. The cylindrical array with M directive MPA elements has a full coverage of 360deg. Considering the total angular coverage of 360deg in terms of 12 sectors of 30deg each and activating only some MPA elements in the related sector reduces the training set and increases the performance of the beamformer. Increasing the number of targets in different sectors has no effect on the performance of the beamformer.
Clustering frequent navigation patterns from website logs by using ontology and temporal information
Kilic, Sefa; Karagöz, Pınar; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı (2013-11-22)
In this work, clustering algorithms are used in order to group similar frequent sequences of Web page visits. A new sequence is compared with all clusters and it is assigned to the most similar one. This work can be used for predicting and prefetching the next page user will visit or for helping the navigation of user in the website. They can also be used to improve the structure of website for easier navigation. In this study the effect of time spent on each web page during the session is also analyzed. © ...
Multi-objective decision making using fuzzy discrete event systems: A mobile robot example
Boutalis, Yiannis; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2010-09-29)
In this paper, we propose an approach for the multi-objective control of sampled data systems that can be modeled as fuzzy discrete event systems (FDES). In our work, the choice of a fuzzy system representation is justified by the assumption of a controller realization that depends on various potentially imprecise sensor measurements. Our approach consists of three basic steps that are performed in each sampling instant. First, the current fuzzy state of the system is determined by a sensor evaluation. Seco...
