    A Smart Parking Lot Management System for Scheduling the Recharging of Electric Vehicles
    (IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2015-11) Kuran, Mehmet Sukru; Viana, Aline Carneiro; Iannone, Luigi; Kofman, Daniel; Mermoud, Gregory; Vasseur, Jean P.; Carneiro Viana, Aline
    In this paper, we propose a centralized electric vehicles (EVs) recharge scheduling system for parking lots using a realistic vehicular mobility/parking pattern focusing on individual parking lots. We consider two different types of EV based on their mobility/parking patterns: 1) regular EVs; and 2) irregular EVs. An extensive trace-based vehicular mobility model collected from the Canton of Zurich is used for the regular EVs, and a probabilistic pattern built on top of this trace is used for modeling the behavior of irregular EVs. To the extent of our knowledge, this is the first EV charging scheduling study in the literature that takes into account a realistic vehicular mobility pattern focusing on individual parking lots. We compare the performance of our proposed system with two well-known basic scheduling mechanisms, first come first serve and earliest deadline first, with regard to two objective functions: 1) maximizing the total parking lot revenue; and 2) maximizing the total number of EVs fulfilling their requirements. Comparison results show that our proposed system outperforms well-known basic scheduling mechanisms with regards to both objectives. Parking lots managing the recharging of a high number of EVs will greatly benefit from using such recharge scheduling systems in the context of smart cities.

    A Novel Pre-Equalization Method for Molecular Communication via Diffusion in Nanonetworks
    (IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2015-08) Tepekule, Burcu; Pusane, Ali E.; Kuran, Mehmet Sukru; Tugcu, Tuna
    In this letter, a novel pre-equalization method in the context of molecular communication via diffusion (MCvD) is proposed. Our method is based on the emission of two types of messenger molecules (MMs) from the transmitter in order to mitigate the high intersymbol interference (ISI), which critically hinders the performance of any MCvD system. In this approach, the difference between the number of received molecules of each MM type is considered as the actual signal at the receiver side. We model the underlying diffusion channel, and conduct an analysis on the error performance of the proposed method. We compare the proposed method with other modulation and ISI mitigation techniques in the literature, such as concentration shift keying, molecular shift keying, molecular concentration shift keying, and minimum mean squared equalization. Simulation results show that, by tuning the delay value between the emissions of the two MM types and their respective molecule counts, the proposed pre-equalization method outperforms the aforementioned methods and reduces the bit error rate of the MCvD system significantly.
