The proliferation of multimedia content and the demand for new audio or video services have fostered the development of a new era based on multimedia information, which allowed the evolution of Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) and also Flying Ad-Hoc Networks (FANETs). In this way, live multimedia services require realtime video transmissions with a low frame loss rate, tolerable end-to-end delay, and jitter to support video dissemination with Quality of Experience (QoE) support. Hence, a key principle in a QoE-aware approach is the transmission of high priority frames (protect them) with a minimum packet loss ratio, as well as network overhead. Moreover, multimedia content must be transmitted from a given source to the destination via intermediate nodes with high reliability in a large scale scenario. The routing service must cope with dynamic topologies caused by node failure or mobility, as well as wireless channel changes, in order to continue to operate despite dynamic topologies during multimedia transmission. Finally, understanding user satisfaction on watching a video sequence is becoming a key requirement for delivery of multimedia content with QoE support. With this goal in mind, solutions involving multimedia transmissions must take into account the video characteristics to improve video quality delivery. The main research contributions of this thesis are driven by the research question how to provide multimedia distribution with high energy-efficiency, reliability, robustness, scalability, and QoE support over wireless ad hoc networks. The thesis addresses several problem domains with contributions on different layers of the communication stack. At the application layer, we introduce a QoE-aware packet redundancy mechanism to reduce the impact of the unreliable and lossy nature of wireless environment to disseminate live multimedia content. At the network layer, we introduce two routing protocols, namely video-aware Multi-hop and multi-path hierarchical routing protocol for Efficient VIdeo transmission for static WMSN scenarios (MEVI), and cross-layer link quality and geographical-aware beaconless OR protocol for multimedia FANET scenarios (XLinGO). Both protocols enable multimedia dissemination with energy-efficiency, reliability and QoE support. This is achieved by combining multiple cross-layer metrics for routing decision in order to establish reliable routes.

Projeto de controle robusto de ordem fracionária para sistemas com incerteza paramétrica
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-10-21) GOMES, Marcus Ciro Martins; AYRES JÚNIOR, Florindo Antonio de Carvalho; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1919442364965261; COSTA JÚNIOR, Carlos Tavares da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6328549183075122
This research introduces a novel methodology that integrates fractional-order control theory with robust control techniques to address parametric uncertainty, aimed at enhancing the performance of linear time-invariant uncertain systems with integer or fractional orders, referred to as Fractional-Order Robust Control (FORC). Unlike traditional methods, this proposed approach offers a new formulation of inequalitiesbased design, broadening the scope for discovering improved solutions through linear programming optimization. Consequently, fractional-order controllers are tailored to ensure desired transient and steady-state performance in closed-loop systems. In order to facilitate the digital implementation of the designed controller, the impulse response invariant discretization of fractional-order differentiators (IRID-FOD) is used to approximate fractional-order controllers to integer-order transfer functions. Additionally, the Hankel reduction order method is applied, making the controllers suitable for hardware deployment. Experimental tests conducted on a thermal system, along with assessment results based on time-domain responses and robustness analysis supported by performance indices and set value analysis, demonstrate the enhanced and robust performance of the proposed FORC methodology compared to classical robust control under parametric uncertainty.
