UNESCO's policy on international communication: a discursive analysis of UNESCO and communication (1975-2005) Universiteit Gent
Precoding for coded communication on block fading channels and cooperative communications Universiteit Gent
We study precoding for the outage probability minimization of block fading (BF) channels and BF relay channels. Recently, an upper bound on the outage probability with precoding was established for BF channels, but only for high instantaneous SNR. This upper bound is much easier to minimize than the actual outage probability, so that optimal precoding matrices can be determined without much computational effort. Here, we provide a proof for the ...
Ultrasound In-Body Communication: Channels, Modems and Hardware for Ultrasound In-Body Communication Links KU Leuven
Implanted or ingested medical devices aid in the localized diagnosis or treatment of several major diseases. For example, the cochlear implant stimulates an electrode in your cochlea, or the endoscopic pill visualizes the internals of your digestive tract. These medical devices typically include a wireless in-body communication link to enable remote monitoring, configuration, and control. This communication link needs careful optimization to ...
‘Mobile phone communication in the mobile margins of Africa : The `communication revolution' evaluated from below’ Universiteit Gent
The mobile phone has become part of the changing history of communication cultures in Africa. Instead of viewing the introduction of new communication technologies as ‘having major effects’, as is often the case in ICT4D (Information and Communication Technologies for Development) circles, we view the relation between technologies and society as interactive. New technologies, such as the mobile phone, may indeed lead to social change, yet at the ...
Domestic and international audiences of organizational crisis communication: State of the art and implications for cross-cultural crisis communication KU Leuven
© 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Despite the increasing number and relevance of both transnational organizations and international organizational crises, research on such crises from an audience-oriented perspective is rare and largely based on narrative case studies. Audience-related research on organizational crises has extensively analyzed stakeholder attribution of crisis causes, responsibility, and the effects on organizational ...
Manuscript communication: visual and textual mechanics of communication in hagiographic texts from the Southern Low Countries, 900-1200 Universiteit Gent
This book investigates how medieval abbeys in the Southern Low Countries used hagiographical manuscripts as a communicative tool. Four basic questions are addressed: How did layout influence a manuscript’s communicative potential? Was manuscript communication influenced by its composition? How did the flexibility of texts and manuscripts influence their communicative function? And how did the position of the monastery within the monastic ...
Study and Design of a Reusable Embedded Hardware Architecture for Secure Wireless Communication (Studie en ontwerp van een herbruikbare ingebedde hardware architectuur voor veilige draadloze communicatie) KU Leuven
The proliferation of wireless embedded devices and the boom of related applications have set design engineers the difficult task of supporting security for these emerging applications. This encompasses hiding a user's sensitive data, safeguarding his privacy and authenticating communicating parties as well as the data that is being exchanged. Implementing these security measures in an embedded context requires a multidisciplinary approach and ...
