Channel Prediction for MAC Optimization in VANET, FANET Software Defined Radio Platform
Pegdwindé Justin Kouraogo, Hamidou Harouna Omar, Désiré Guel
This work addresses the critical challenge of ensuring reliable communication in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) and drone networks (FANETs) under dynamic and high-mobility conditions. Current methods often fail to adequately predict rapid channel variations, leading to increased packet loss and degraded Quality of Service (QoS). To bridge(...)

CONTRIBUTION OF SATELLITE IMAGERY TO THE MAPPING OF POTENTIALLY WATER-BEARING FRACTURE NETWORKS IN THE COMMUNE OF TANGHIN DASSOURI (CENTRAL BURKINA FASO)
Hassami Ouédraogo, Césard Millogo, Sayoba Kafando and Samuel Nakolendoussé
The groundwater resources of crystalline bedrock regions are primarily located within lithostructural discontinuities. While traditional methods of photo-interpretation of satellite imagery are widely employed, they are often constrained by factors such as cloud cover, dense vegetation, and the subjectivity of the interpreter. To mitigate thes(...)
