The data transmission at each hop is realized by using transmit antenna selection and selection combining techniques, and is overheard by a multi-antenna eavesdropper using selection combining. In addition, joint antenna and jammer selection methods are performed at each hop to reduce quality of the eavesdropping channels. The cluster members can harvest wireless energy from the previous cluster head, and use the harvested energy for emitting jamming noises on the eavesdropper. We propose three cooperative
jamming algorithms, named best antenna and best jammer selection (BA-BJ), random antenna and all jammer selection (RA-AJ) and all antenna and all jammer selection (AA-AJ). Then, end-to-end outage probability and intercept probability of the proposed algorithms are evaluated via both simulation and analysis, under impact of hardware impairments, over Rayleigh fading channel.

The proposed device composes of a Y-junction coupler, two multimode interference (MMI) couplers, and two phase-shifters on the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) rib waveguides. The input modes of TE0 and TE1 can be arbitrarily and simultaneously routed to the yearning output ports by setting appropriate values (ON/OFF) for two tunable phase shifters (PSs). The structural optimization and efficient characterization processes are carried out by numerical simulation via three-dimensional beam propagation method. The proposed device exhibits the operation ability over the C-band with good optical performances in terms of insertion loss smaller than 1 dB, crosstalk under -19 dB, and relatively large geometry tolerances. Moreover, the proposed device can integrate into a footprint as compact as 5 μm ×475 μm. Such significant advantages are beneficial and promising potentials for very large-scale photonic integrated circuits, high-speed optical interconnects, and short-haul few-mode fiber communication systems.

The digital information in images and videos could be used for fully automated captions, indexing, and image structuring. The online image and video data system has seen a significant increase. In such a dataset, images and videos must be retrieved, explored, as well as inspected.

OBJECTIVES: Text extraction is crucial for locating critical as well as important data. Disturbance is indeed a critical factor that affects image quality, and this is primarily generated during image acquisition and communication operations.
An image can be contaminated by a variety of noise-type disturbances. A text in the complex image includes a variety of information which is used to recognise textual as well as non-textual particulars. The particulars in the complicated
corrupted images have been considered important for individuals seeing the entire issue. However, text in complicated degraded images exhibits a rapidly changing form in an unconstrained circumstance, making textual data recognition complicated.

METHODS: The naïve bayes algorithm is a weighted reading technique is used to generate the correct text data from the complicated image regions. Usually, images hold some disturbance as a result of the fact that filtration is proposed during the early pre-processing step. To restore the image's quality, the input image is processed employing gradient and contrast image methods. Following that, the contrast of the source images would be enhanced using an adaptive image map. Stroke width transform, Gabor transform, and weighted naïve bayes classifier methodologies have been used in complicated degraded images to segment, features extraction, and detect textual and non-textual elements.

RESULTS: Finally, to identify categorised textual data, the confluence of deep neural networks and particle swarm optimization is being used. The dataset IIIT5K is used for the development portion, and also the performance of the suggested methodology is assessed by utilizing parameters like as accuracy, recall, precision, and F1 score. It performs well enough for record collections such as articles, even when significantly distorted, and is thus suitable for creating library information system databases.

CONCLUSION: A combination of deep neural network and particle swarm optimization is being used to recognise classified text. The dataset IIIT5K is used for the development portion, and while high performance is achieved with parameters such as accuracy, recall, precision, and F1 score, characters may occasionally deviate. Alternatively, the same character is frequently extracted [3] multiple times, which may result in incorrect textual data being extracted from natural
images. As a result, an efficient technique for avoiding such flaws in the text retrieval process must be implemented in the near future.

Even if ELM has many advantages, it has some potential shortcomings such as performance sensitivity to the underlying state of the hidden neurons, input weights and the choice of functions of activation. To overcome the limitations of traditional ELM, analysts have devised numerical methods to optimise specific parts of ELM in order to enhance ELM performance for a variety of complicated difficulties and applications. Hence through this study, we intend to study the different algorithms developed for optimizing the ELM to enhance its performance in the aspects of survey criteria such as datasets, algorithm, objectives, training time, accuracy, error rate and the hidden neurons. This study will help other researchers to find out the research issues that lowering the performance of the ELM.

The direct link between the source and destination is even unavailable. The system is proposed to operate in triple transmission phases (timeslots). In the first phase, jamming signal is proposed to carry a random binary network-coding-based jamming (NCJ )message, transmitted by an active jammer. As NCJ cannot be just cryptographically protected, we propose a solution of using physical layer security to secure this message. As a result, a network-coding method can be employed in which NCJ acts as a key to protect the source message from this extreme case of wiretapping. The spatial diversities in both jamming and legitimate transmission is fully exploited to overcome this challenge with high performance. Analysis and simulation of the outage performance and comparison with current methods are provided to validate the performance of the proposed method.

MANET is forming mobile devices such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), laptops, etc. As a result of the rapid, flexibility, and facilitate in communication, nowadays, MANET has revolutionized many real-life applications, ranging from smart agriculture and smart cities to forest fire detection systems, and expected to have vital contributions into the future of the Internet. However, due to the mobile nature of network nodes combined with the network architecture that without relying on central devices pre-installed such as base stations, the high-performance routing problem is one of the most significant challenges in the MANET environment. In this study, we propose a high-performance routing protocol, namely agent-based ad-hoc on-demand distance vector (A-AODV), to select the optimal route with high throughput and low latency. Through the developed routing algorithm, we explain how the suitable route with the lowest cost based on agents. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed protocol, we compared A-AODV’s performance with two well-known traditional protocols on NS2. Simulation results show that A-AODV improves superior performance over the traditional protocols.

Using a …Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been widely deployed in many applications such as transportation, data collection, monitoring, or tracking objects. Nowadays, numerous missions require UAVs to operate in a large area or to complete missions in a stringent period of time. Using a single UAV may not meet theperformance requirements because of its small size and limited battery. In this situation, multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have emerged as an effective measure that can address these limitations. A group ofUAVs cooperatively working together could offer a solution that is more efficient and economical than usinga powerful UAV alone. To better utilizing the multiple-UAVs system, control of formation UAVs is a critical challenge that needs to overcome. Therefore, formation control has become an active research topic that gains great attention from researchers. Extensive research efforts have been dedicated to studying the formation control problem with numerous control protocols which have been proposed. This paper reviews the profound studies on formation control in literature. Each approach is investigated based on different criteria, which highlights its distinct merits and demerits. The comparison is provided to facilitate the readers in their future researches in the field of formation control. Finally, some open challenges and research directions are also discussed.

Specifically, a multi-antenna user harvests RF energy from a power station by using a selection combining/maximal ratio combining scheme and offload its tasks to two MEC servers through downlink NOMA by employing transmit antenna selection/maximal ratio transmission scheme. Accordingly, we investigate the performance of six schemes, namely SC-TAS1, SC-TAS1, MRC-TAS1, MRC-TAS2, SC-MRT, and MRC-MRT, for this considered system. To evaluate the performance, exact closed-form expressions of successful computation probability are derived. We further propose the optimal algorithm to find the best parameter sets to achieve the best performance. Moreover, the impacts of the network parameters on the system performance for these schemes are investigated. Finally, the simulation results are also provided to verify the accuracy of our analysis.

This particular standard is relatively new and is specifically designed to offer low cost and power consumption, reliability, and inter-operability for sensor and control applications with low to moderate data rates. By simulating ZigBee wireless networks with the possible star, tree, or mesh topologies under different scenarios, the performance of each topology can be evaluated and assessed. The results from the simulations demonstrate that ZigBee wireless networks using the mesh topology have the highest overall performance regardless of the number of nodes. Moreover, the ratio of routers to end-devices in a Personal Area Network can either improve or deteriorate its performance.

This effort plans to introduce self-healing, energy efficiency, reliability, and security using two-way digital communications and control technology, along with a host of other valuable attributes. As a bi-product of this modernization and newly gained systems interoperability, new communications and management interfaces are produced in both the cyber realm and physical domains. The increase of the public physical presence and cyber footprint opens up avenues for compromise to hackers and individuals with malicious intent. This survey paper will categorize and summarize vulnerabilities in the framework of the current power grid and the software and hardware which is currently being used to upgrade the grid. The paper will also detail known countermeasures which can be used to mitigate or eliminate attacks which exploit such vulnerabilities.

However, w…Power consumption in Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology has escalated to a point that only a fractional part of many-core chips can be powered-on at a time. Fortunately, this fraction can be increased at the expense of performance through the dark-silicon solution. However, with many-core integration set to be heading towards its thousands, power consumption and temperature increases per time, meaning the number of active nodes must be reduced drastically. Therefore, optimized techniques are demanded for continuous advancement in technology. Existing eﬀorts try to overcome this challenge by activating nodes from diﬀerent parts of the chip at the expense of communication latency. Other eﬀorts on the other hand employ run-time power management techniques to manage the power performance of the cores trading-oﬀ performance for power. We found out that, for a signiﬁcant amount of power to saved and high temperature to be avoided, focus should be on reducing the power consumption of all the on-chip components. Especially, the memory hierarchy and the interconnect. Power consumption can be minimized by, reducing the size of high leakage power dissipating elements, turning-oﬀ idle resources and integrating power saving materials.

Internet. ProtoGENI is a federated testbed facility supporting slice-based experiments to manage, utilize, and monitor the
resources for innovative network research. Security research in ProtoGENI is crucial because experiments conducted in
manipulated or corruptted test environment can mislead about security mechanism’s capabilities in a system. In this paper,
existing ProtoGENI security mechanisms and functions are tested and analyzed through different experiments to find out
the exploitable attacking loopholes. Experiments elaborate the existing functioning and security issues that can cause nonfunctional,
semi non-functional or malfunctioned systems. Results indicate threats to ProtoGENI resources and run-time
interactions. Cross-experiment communication in Emulab wireless nodes have the capability of assisting in verifying
isolation between ProtoGENI slices. Host security is one of the security components, which can be enhanced by modifying
default security settings including SSH port number and root login rights. Documentation of experiment environment,
experiment design, results, and analysis including many observations is helpful to understand the basic functioning and
security issues to improve the overall functioning and security of ProtoGENI.

However, the trade-off between runtime and the accuracy in making recommendations is a big challenge. This work combines several traditional techniques to reduce the limitation of each single technique and exploits the Item2Item model to improve the prediction accuracy. As a case study, this paper focuses on user behaviour prediction in restaurant recommender systems and uses a public dataset including restaurant information and user sessions. Within this dataset, user behaviour can be discovered for the collaborative filtering, and restaurant information is extracted for the content-based filtering. The idea of the pre-trained word embedding in Natural Language Processing is utilized in the item-based collaborative filtering to find the similarity between restaurants based on user sessions. Experimental results have shown that the combination of these techniques makes valuable recommendations.

Modern wireless networks should be developed to satisfy the increasing demand of quality-of-service (QoS) in mission-critical communications for disaster management which are currently faced with the challenges of limited spectrum, expensive resources, reliable and green communication. There is a tremendous need for optimisation techniques in the study and design of the key functionalities of wireless systems. Until now, almost current optimisation scenarios are often carried out on large timescales (e.g., minutes or hours) without strict time constraints for solving the problems. With the improvement of computational speed, eﬃcient algorithms and advanced coding approaches, a framwork of real-time optimisation programming, which plays a major role in the trend of modern engineering such as mission-critical communications, is introduced for the first time in this paper in the context of natural disaster. In particular, we propose an introduction of embedded convex optimisation programming for unmanned ariel vehicles (UAVs) communications in disaster networks with the strict supervision of executive time in real-time scenarios.

However, the success of BEM is contingent on identifying large energy consuming devices, monitoring energy usage, optimal scheduling of flexible appliances, and distinguishing and controlling energy wastage. To this end, this paper discusses the design of Internet of Things (IoT) for a flexible BEM with the backend analytic that performs analysis on energy usage pattern and the wastage. We present the experimental results of real-time monitoring of consumers’ energy usage in a commercial space to identify the electricity wastage. The experiment is conducted at an office testbed using a comprehensive wireless sensor network. Extensive analysis is done to identify the energy wastage pattern of users for reducing the electricity cost. It is demonstrated that it is possible to reduce significant energy wastage when an office building is equipped with the proposed IoT system.

This duplication can be avoided through the use of fast-prototyping methodologies, which enable reusing simulation code in real prototyping and in production environments. Although this functionality is already available by using ns-3 emulation, there are still limitations regarding the support of real network interfaces and easy configuration of the network settings, such as IP and MAC addresses.
In this paper we propose an improved version of the ns-3 emulation component by introducing new functionalities that address these limitations. The new functionalities include the support of new types of real network interfaces and the easier integration of emulation nodes with existing networks by means of a new auto-configuration mechanism for ns-3 nodes. Experimental results obtained in a laboratorial testbed and in a real vehicular network testbed demonstrate the new functionalities proper operation, and their backwards compatibility with previously coded ns-3 scenarios.

Existing inpainting approaches are: Partial Differential Equations Based Inpainting (PDE-BI) and Exemplar-Based Inpainting (EBI). PDE-BI methods used to fill in the missing information via information propagation from neighbouring areas. However, it can only reconstruct successfully small missing regions that are surrounded by limited texture. However, EBI methods are used to recover large regions with richly-textured/structured areas around them, moreover, artefacts are likely to occur. This paper proposes a technique to reduce the missing region size based on seam carving approach, which enables EBI and PDE-BI to recover the missing part. In our proposal, seam carving is used to reduce only the size of the missing region, to be subsequently recovered using EBI method. The added extra paths resulting from the added seams is repaired using PDE-BI. This method outperformed the state-of-art EBI methods.
