Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Performance Evaluations of Next Generation Networks for Smart Grid Applications(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015-04) Tuna, Gürkan; Ayana, Esra Kaya; Gülez, Kayhan; Kiokes, George C.; Güngör, Vehbi Çağrı; Kaya, EsraSmart Grid (SG) can be described as the concept of modernizing the traditional electrical grid. Through the addition of SG technologies traditional electrical grids become more flexible, robust and interactive, and are able to provide real time feedback by employing innovative services and products together with communication, control, intelligent monitoring, and self-healing technologies. For being fully functional, utility operators deploy various SG applications to handle the key requirements including delivery optimization, demand optimization and asset optimization needs. The SG applications can be categorized into two main classes: grid-focused applications and customer-focused applications. Although these applications differ in terms of security, Quality of Service (QoS) and reliability, their common requirement is a communication infrastructure. In this paper, we focus on the use of Next Generation Networks (NGNs) for SG applications. We also present a detailed analysis of a NGN-based communication infrastructure for SG applications in terms of global network statistics and node-level statistics. © 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 7Performance Analysis of Different Modulation Schemes for Underwater Acoustic Communications(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-09) Bahcebasi, Akif; Güngör, Vehbi Çağrı; Tuna, GürkanThere is an increasing interest in using Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UASNs) for various oceanographic applications, such as pollution monitoring, seismic monitoring, environmental data collection, offshore exploration, and tactical surveillance. UASNs rely on acoustic communications; however, the underwater acoustic channel is highly variable and its link quality depends on environmental factors and the locations of the communicating nodes. Therefore, ensuring reliable communication in UASNs is quite difficult. Moreover, path losses and retransmissions lead to the wastage of energy resources and reduce the network lifetime. In this study, we have utilized well-known underwater modulation schemes to analyse and simulate various underwater scenarios with different depth, distance and Bit Error Rate (BER) values in order to make a fair comparison between the modulation schemes and obtain the optimal transmission power. Performance evaluations show that 32-PSK and 16-QAM techniques achieve the minimum energy consumption rates and enhance network lifetime. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
