Interference Mitigation Techniques for Spectral Capacity Enhancement in GSM Networks
Статья научная
Random Frequency Hopping (FH) is a key feature of GSM networks that allows for capacity enhancement. The increased co-channel interference experienced in networks with tight frequency reuse schemes can be mitigated by adopting frequency hopping. Frequency hopping diversifies the interference signals over sparse transmitted bursts. This effect is called Interference Diversity. Interference Diversity allows the Forward Error Correcting codes (FEC) to easily correct the corrupted bits. Thus, frequency hopping allows the network operator to use a tighter frequency reuse scheme without exhibiting higher levels of co-channel interference. Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) is another interference mitigation method that utilizes the user’s silence frames to reduce the transmitted power, while Power Control (PC) links the transmitted handset power with its relative distance from the Base Station (BTS). In this work, we study the impact of random FH, DTX and PC on the Spectral Capacity of GSM cellular networks by means of combined link level and system level simulation. It is shown that a spectral capacity gain is obtained in a 3/9 reuse scheme that deploys PC, DTX and FH compared to a conventional 4/12 reuse scheme.

Interference Mitigation in Wireless Communication – A Tutorial on Spread Spectrum Technology
Статья научная
This paper focuses on Spread Spectrum technique and its interference mitigation feature as applied in wireless communication. With spread spectrum technology it is possible to implement the transmission of multiple signals over wider ranges of spectrum without resulting to interference from other signals transmitted over the same frequencies. It does this by rejecting any received signal that does not carry the proper code. Interference rejection, one of the several features of spread spectrum technology is a difficult concept to understand. It is therefore proper to x-ray this topic in a less complex manner so that it can be well understood by those who are not mathematically grounded. In view of this a further simplified approach in presenting this subject is necessary. A tutorial approach is used to simplify this subject for better understanding and how this feature is used in Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems. To show how multipath interference rejection is achieved in CDMA systems simple equations and schematics were used. The discussions cover the method of code recognition at the receiver which serves as a technique for interference mitigation. The paper helps to understand the theory of code recognition in Spread Spectrum, and thus provides answer to the question on how does interference mitigation or rejection in spread spectrum works?

Interference mitigation and mobility management for D2D communication in LTE-A networks
Статья научная
Interference and Mobility management are the main parameters which affect the signal capacity and reduce the transmission efficiency for D2D communication in LTE-A networks. When the users are in the same spectrum, due to the coexistence of D2D pairs and cellular users interference management becomes a critical issue. In this paper, we introduce an interference management algorithm that maximizes the performance of D2D communication in LTE-A networks for both uplink and downlink transmissions. Optimal routing selection techniques reduce the total path distance which helps to minimize the interference and improve the overall network capacity. Mobility management is also a challenging issue in IP-mobile networks. When two DUEs change their locations from one BS to the other, handover delay calculation becomes very important to maintain the communication without interruption. In this paper we show power control techniques which helps to reduce the effect of interference and also we addressed a method for the lower delay under complex mobility issues with uninterrupted D2D communication.

Статья научная
The prototype development of Rescue Robot can help search and rescue teams with their difficult and life-saving tasks. Unmanned Aerial vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Ground vehicles (UGVs) are viewed as two separate entities. However, upon closer examination, we can classify them into a closely-coupled system where both are just seen as separable parts of the body of one robotic entity, whose body parts can separate temporarily and acquire together again later. In this prototype, a mobile robot UGV can be used as transport and landing station for a light-weight quadcopter UAV. UAV has separable long-range vision system which provides the top view of environment for the UGV, separable images are stitched and transformed into maps and utilized for rescue operations. This rescue robot contains a combination of UGV and UAV. It is equipped with a strong manipulator arm, used for debris removal, shoring operations, and delivering medicines/ food on very rough terrain. It has light detection and ranging (lidar) sensors, cameras, enabling it to look for victims and for mapping semi-destroyed buildings. The UGV can send visual feedback to the operator at a remote location. The UAV drone has a camera for an aerial view and mapping of the place. Working in conjunction with one another and thus the human search and rescue workers, these robotic assets form a strong team, increasing the effectiveness of search and rescue operations. This project aims at the realization of a new generation of search and rescue robot which can work in semi-autonomous and wireless modes and can be used in harsh physical environments of disaster regions to hold out the given tasks more effectively by the utilization of advanced and economic sensors. the problem domain of earthquake disasters and search and rescue processes is clarified with introducing an overview of this project. Disasters unsettle the economic and social stability of society. Shortage of skilled rescue work forces, also because the risks involved in search and rescue operations, are getting foremost problems during an emergency situation. In this paper rescue robot were designed, implemented in a real time environment and analyzed the result.

Interoperability in connected vehicles – a review
Статья научная
The introduction of automated transportation system and implementation of connected vehicle system has made interoperability even more critical than before in order to ensure effective connectivity , consistency , accuracy and reliable performance.Connected vehicles are employed with in vehicle sensor networks to collect , store , process and communicate with neighbouring vehicles to help drivers making life saving decisions. Connected vehicle systems enable the exchange of communication between a vehicle and world. Some vehicles may only receive communication, other vehicles may only send data and some may receive and send data. Hence it is essential that all systems , devices need to work together in a safe, trusted , efficient manner. Devices/Sensors embedded in vehicles follow different communication protocols as the sensors or devices are manufactured by different vendors. Hence management of coordination between devices is of much importance in Dynamic, Mobile, Heterogeneous environments such as connected vehicles. Hence, there is a need to create seamless interoperability to enable connected vehicles. It is required to enable intelligent transportation system (ITS) system/devices in Vehicles to effectively connect and communicate with other systems/devices. The adaptability of Interoperability when the devices are adhere to dynamics and mobile in nature becomes tedious and cumbersome. Solutions to interoperability is not much explored in literature. Existing interoperability solutions does not guarantee to articulate for high mobile environments such as connected vehicles where vehicles are highly mobile in nature and moving at varying speeds. The paper summarizes connected vehicles issues and challenges, current interoperability solutions, the impact of interoperability in connected vehicle scenario and demonstrates the effect of conversion time delay when exchanging data between source and destination pairs.

The wireless sensor networks are most important developers of machine-to-machine communication (M2M) networks. In each node of sensor, transmission power is the most important energy consumption factor, which is considered as the most important challenge for expansibility of M2M network. One strategy to cope with this problem is topology control algorithm. This algorithm consists of two topology design and topology maintenance phases. The focus of most works conducted in this field is on design topography. However, topology maintenance should be also considered during the topology control design. To prolong network life through the energy consumption management in the nodes, in this paper an algorithm is proposed which considers both topology design and maintenance. The simulation results obtained using NS-2 simulator prove innovation and higher performance of the proposed model.

Investigating Coupling Interactions in Split-Ring Resonator Dimers
Статья научная
Topological wireless power transfer (TWPT) arrays provide directional power transfer, which are robust to external disturbances. Often realized as a chains of dimers, the ability to adjust the coupling between constituent resonator elements is an important means of establishing necessary conditions for power transfer. This paper explores the coupling interactions that are possible within dimers consisting of paired split-ring resonators (SRRs) in close proximity. Transfer efficiencies and through impedances are computationally studied for various rotational orientations of edge-and broadside-coupled SRRs. The obtained results reveal that relative rotational orientation can be employed as a sensitive design parameter to provide a variety of high- and low-coupling options within and between SRR dimers, with different power transfer efficiency implications.

Investigating the relationship between coverage area and propagation profile
Статья научная
This study investigates the relationship between coverage area and propagation profile. Most studies on propagation profile do not link the profile with the coverage area of the transmitter and vice versa. Using both coverage area and propagation profile to describe the variations of electric field intensity of propagating wave makes a vivid description of the transmitter performance. This study creates propagation profile from the contour of coverage area of Benue Radio transmitter. Data for the study were collected during a measurement campaign carried out around the transmitter. The data were interpolated to produce a contour of the coverage area. A cross sectional profile elicits from the contour of coverage area at equally spaced eight different vertical plains provides the propagation profiles of the transmitter. This was achieved by transforming the coordinates of the contour of coverage area into distance thus producing a two dimensional plain from a three dimensional contour. Values of coordinates and electric field intensity were taken from some points on the contour and were compared with the equivalent positions on the propagation profile yields the same value of electric field intensity and equivalent position in distance. Similar procedure was carried out on the propagation profile provides the same value of electric field intensity and equivalent positions in terms of coordinates. The study concludes that propagation profiles are cross sectional parts of coverage area.

Investigation of application layer DDoS attacks using clustering techniques
Статья научная
The exponential usage of internet attracts cyber criminals to commit crimes and attacks in the network. The forensic investigator investigates the crimes by determining the series of actions performed by an attacker. Digital forensic investigation can be performed by isolating the hard disk, RAM images, log files etc. It is hard to identify the trace of an attack by collecting the evidences from network since the attacker deletes all possible traces. Therefore, the possible way to identify the attack is from the access log traces located in the server. Clustering plays a vital role in identifying attack patterns from the network traffic. In this paper, the performance of clustering techniques such as k-means, GA k-means and Self Organizing Map (SOM) are compared to identify the source of an application layer DDoS attack. These methods are evaluated using web server log files of an apache server and the results demonstrate that the SOM based method achieves high detection rate than k-means and GA k-means with less false positives.

Joint Beam-Power Coordinative Scheduling of Neighboring Sectors in Cellular Systems
Статья научная
Beam cooperative scheduling of downlink transmission is an important technique to improve the spectrum efficiency in next generation mobile networks. This paper focuses on switched beams (the emission angles of the beams are fixed) and proposes a joint beam-power coordinative scheduling algorithm among neighbor sectors in the downlink of mobile systems. Each sector coordinates the applied order and transmitted power of the beams with adjacent interfering sector, so as to reduce inter-sector interference and maximize throughputs. This scheduling problem is modeled as a constrained optimization problem and solved by our proposed iterative approach. Computer simulation shows that the proposed approach significantly outperform the existing round robin beam servicing approach and the approach that applies only beam cooperative scheduling.

Статья научная
The volume of published scientific literature available on Internet has been increasing exponentially. Some of them reflect the latest achievement of the specific research domain. In recent years, many projects have been funded aiming to online scientific literature mining, especially in biomedical research. Scientific literature covers most of the hot topics in the research field and has a very large domain-specific vocabulary. The exploitation of domain knowledge and specialized vocabulary can dramatically improve the result of literature text processing. The purpose of this paper is to identify the frequently used keywords in IT security literatures. The result then can be utilized to improve the performance of automatic IT security document retrieval, identification and classification. Our method is to query CiteseeX to retrieve source data of paper description information and build an artificially annotated corpus. Over the corpus, we perform words frequency statistics, word co-occurrence analysis, discrimination index computation, retrieval efficiency analysis and thus build a lexicon of IT security based on our experimental result. The lexicon can further be used in improving retrieval performance and assisting new words discovering and document classification.

Load Balancing Mechanism for Edge-Cloud-Based Priorities Containers
Статья научная
Considering edge devices have limited resources, it's critical to keep track of their current resource usage and device resource allocation algorithms that send containers to edge and cloud nodes according to their priority. To minimize the strain on edge devices and enable the running of mission-critical applications, edge containers may need to be transferred to a cloud platform. In this paper, we suggested a mechanism for prioritizing container balance between the edge and cloud while attempting to assign delay-sensitive containers to edge nodes. We assess the performance of Docker container management systems on resource-constrained computers and offer ways for reducing administration and migration overhead based on the workload type, to bring load balance to the systems. The proposed algorithm gives flexibility to get the best possible ways to achieve load balancing. The Tensorflow’s object discovery API was used, accessed with Flask, Python's micro-web framework. Docker container management technology was used in the implementation of this application.

Load Balancing in Cloud Computing Using Hungarian Algorithm
Статья научная
Cloud computing is a highly popular computing paradigm providing on-demand resources with high reliability and availability. The user requests are fulfilled by providing a virtual machine with the requested configuration. However, with the ever-increasing load on the cloud resources, the need for optimal resource utilization of the cloud resources has become the need of the hour. Load balancing has been identified as one of the possible ways to improve resource utilization in the cloud and the current state-of-the-art algorithms indicate the numerous attempts made to find the approximate solution for this NP-hard problem. In this work, we have focused on evaluating the efficiency of the Hungarian algorithm for load distribution in the cloud and compared its performance with First-come-first-serve (FCFS). The simulations were carried out in CloudSim and show remarkable improvement in various performance parameters. Finish time of a given task schedule was reduced by 41% and average execution time was reduced by 13% in the Hungarian algorithm when compared with FCFS. The simulations were carried out under different workload conditions to validate our results.

Location based Energy Efficient Scheme for Maximizing Routing Capability of AODV Protocol in MANET
Статья научная
Nodes in Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) are forming a dynamic topology by that the nodes are continuously change their location and also the nodes functioning is dependent on the limited battery capacity that is called energy. The dynamic behavior of network connection is not maintained for long time. All nodes in network are energy dependent and efficient energy utilization is one of the important criteria in MANET. In this paper we proposed a new location based energy efficient scheme with AODV protocol. In this scheme energy dependent nodes are improving the routing capability of AODV protocol on the basis of location based protocol LAR (Location Aided Routing protocol). In network nodes are not aware about their energy status and also recur flooding of routing packets are consumes more energy in network by that the most of the energy is wasted in connection establishment. LAR protocol reduces that possibility of destination finding by maintain the record of location of each node in network respect to other nodes. It implies that every node in network is maintaining the record of other nodes (participating in routing procedure) with their current location and speed. If the nodes in network are know about the energy status and also about the status of location of receiver that reduces the energy consumption. The main aim of proposed scheme is to enhance the energy utilization in network. The performance of normal AODV, AODV with LAR and AODV with LAR and Energy is illustrate here and observe that the LAR protocol reduces the energy consumption and prolog the network lifetime that completely depend on the energy of mobile nodes.

Loss Less and Privacy Preserved Data Retrieval in Cloud Environment using TRSE
Статья научная
In the modern era of the computing world, the data producing and using it is becoming large and instant at various places. For availing the data at different locations for processing we need to store it in the global platform. Cloud environment provides a best and easy way for this. Cloud computing is becoming as the essential thing for high-quality data services. However there are some potential problems with respect to data security. Here encryption techniques can be used for providing security, but with restricted efficiency. In this paper we propose a new encryption mechanism for providing data security in cloud environment. We propose a two round searchable encryption which supports multi keyword retrieval. Here we adapted a vector space model for improving search accuracy; the elgamal encryption technique allows users to involve in the ranking, while the essential key part of encryption will be done at the source itself. The proposed improves the data security and reduces data leakage.
