We proposed and demonstrated a bidirectional GPON architecture supporting 10Gbps data transmission through single fiber cable network. Data is transmitted utilizing a Non Return to Zero Differential Phase Shift Keying (NRZ-DPSK) and re-modulate the downstream signal using intensity modulator (on-off keying OOK) in Return to Zero (RZ) format to transmit upstream data, supporting data rate of 10Gbps/channel is an optimized network in full duplex mode. Simulation results confirmed that successful transmission using 50GHz channel spacing is achieved over a distance of 25km.

The optical properties of two dimensional photonic crystal cavities are numerically investigated. The cavities are designed by introducing defects in the structure, which will break the periodicity of photonic crystal. It is established that the resonant modes trapped in the cavity can be well controlled by varying the nature and size of the cavity. The field distribution and the Q-factor of the trap resonant modes in the cavity are computed. It is found that the Q-factor of the resonant modes can be made very large by increasing the size of the crystal.

Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN) is considered to be the candidate for enabling the next generation mobile communication networks (5G). C-RAN has the ability to dynamically adjust the logical connections between the BBUs and RRHs according to traffic conditions. This paper explores the capacity routing ability of C-RAN to enable load balancing in the network. A self organised C-RAN is proposed and formulated as an optimisation problem, which aims to balance network traffic by reducing the number of blocked calls in the network and improving the QoS. The QoS in this paper is represented by a KPI, which is the inverse of blocked calls. A Genetic Algorithm is proposed for optimisation. A scenario of 19 RRHs distributed over a geographical area is considered. The RRHs are managed by 2 BBUs in the pool. The RRHs are divided into 6 sectors with each BBU handling 3 sectors. The initial BBU-RRH configuration causes 80 blocked calls in the entire network with a QoS evaluation value of 0.0125. After performing the algorithm, it is observed that the network is balanced by reconfiguring the BBU-RRH connections, finding the optimum solution, reducing the blocked calls to zero and improving the QoS of the network i.e., QoS=1.

Ultra Wideband (UWB) is a communication technique that uses a very narrow radio pulses for communication over a large bandwidth between transmitter and receiver. UWB technique is gaining popularity day by day because of its certain characteristics like simple architecture, cost reliability and low power consumption which is quite desirable in the field of short range wireless communication. Transmitting such a short duration pulses in a multipath environment create a critical problem in designing the transceiver for Impulse Radio (IR) UWB systems. Several research activities have been carried on for effective and efficient transmission of very short duration pulses for IR-UWB systems. Here, in the this paper, we presented a performance comparison between Transmitted Reference (TR), Multi differential frequency shift reference(MD-FSR) and code shift reference (CSR) which are the three primary pulse sending techniques in UWB communication. These techniques have been evaluated by comparing its systems BER performance. Simulations have been performed in MATLAB. The simulation results validate that CSR-UWB system has a better BER performance compared to TR and MD-FSR UWB systems under the desired parameters.

Owing to the recent advancement in the field of `Robotics', the use of robots can now be modified to fit our own requirements. A potential field of expansion in this domain is the design and implementation of prosthetic limbs. In this paper we discuss the robust control of a customized robotic gripper arm. We also incorporate unstructured uncertainties and analyze responses of both H2 and H∞ compensators. This comparison show the advantage of integrating the aforementioned compensators on system stability.

To get overall advantages of the omnipresent mobile computing, Mobile Node (MN) should be capable to move seamlessly through various networks. But the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the remote Mobile Nodes should be considered in specific time duration, prior to the blockage of services. In 3G, 4G and LAN technologies, it is needed to have a proficient system for location management that accepts the dynamic environments and add issues as failure based on central point, latency and deficiency of consistency. One way is to utilize CHORD for location management that is decentralized, and its key value mapping should better consider to IP mapping, the desired name. But the main problem regarding this mechanism is the existence of chord nodes that are not stable, and this creates instability in the framework. Nodes having low computation abilities can retard the look-up technique and thus ends the active session. Here we give a solution to the issue, utilizing two-layered CHORD design against single Layered CHORD. Nodes having high computation capabilities and stability will perform as location servers, and will be liable for saving and allocation the temporary locators that is IP address of the remote MN. Appropriation of suggested framework is analyzed utilizing analytical analysis in distinguished with current CHORD mobility protocol. The said way can stabilizes the framework using its de-centralizing feature, yet intact.

Chances of occurrence of fault increases when program goes beyond few thousand lines, even with the use of formal methods for fault prevention. These faults need very exhaustive testing to be removed, which is infeasible. This implies the indispensability of software fault tolerance (SFT) before facing the consequences of faults. Since 1972, several different SFT techniques have been proposed. But still occurrence of failures imply the failure of existing SFT techniques in considering all the required parameters. In this paper we analyze 16 replication based SFT techniques proposed after 1972 that have long-term influence or some paramount significance. We put them in classification based upon diversity they offer, adjudication mechanism they use & whether or not they are adaptive. Then we catalog the essential parameters for optimal adjudication, diversity & adaptiveness along with suggestions to incorporate those parameters. Finally, we map the listed techniques on these parameters. We came up with the result that none amongst the existing technique addresses all the essential parameters. This paper serves as a touch stone to evaluate any SFT technique & provides substantial guide for the researchers in proposing new SFT technique.

Tracking of wireless nodes such as robots in wireless sensor network (WSN) has been widely studied in literature. Most of these studies are based on the Kalman filter (KF) for linear models corrupted by Gaussian noise, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) for non linear models and the particles filter (PF) which does no require the model o be linear nor the noise be Gaussian. In his paper, we present a comparative study of mobile target node (TN) racking via the KF, EKF and PF based on the received power of the signal. A constant velocity model is considered for the motion of TN, depicting an indoor environment. The performance of the filters are compared in terms of the root mean square error (RMSE). Extensive simulations are performed to evaluate the performance of the discussed filters.

It is anticipated that renewable energy will meet a considerable fraction of future energy demands of Pakistan. Since solar energy is abundant in most parts of the country, on grid solar PV systems are becoming increasingly important. Electric energy provided by the solar power plant to the grid depends upon seasonal variation of the solar resource, losses by temperature changes, system losses and losses due to grid conditions. This paper presents the monitoring result of a 178.08 kW grid connected photovoltaic system installed in Pakistan engineering commission, Islamabad (Longitude 73.0667° & Latitude E 33.7167° N). System was monitored between Jan 2013 to Dec 2013. Daily solar irradiation, ambient temperature, wind speed, daily power generation were measured and analyzed during this monitoring period. Performance ratio manually calculated from the recorded data is 0.63. Furthermore, the PV performance was studied by performance ratio variation with solar inclined irradiation. Average monthly performance ratio was found to be decreasing with increasing ambient temperature and solar inclined irradiation. A decreasing trend in AC power was seen with rise in temperature and conversion losses.

Industries have to cope with millions of parts for production on daily basis. Scheduling of those parts for production is a complex process. Parts having properly scheduled processing rarely get delayed and therefore generally delivered on time. Cellular Manufacturing System (CMS) is a proficient production system and can be used as an effective replacement of Batch type manufacturing. Cell Formation (CF) is the fundamental part of Cell design and its effectiveness is checked using a performance index called Grouping Efficacy (GE).Part scheduling is very rarely used as a design tool for Cell Formation Problem (CFP). A software based solution is developed in this research to solve CFP by applying Genetic Algorithm (GA), which is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) technique. The uniqueness of this approach is that it presents an integrated approach for grouping parts into families and machines into cells using Makespan as the performance factor. Results show that minimizing the Make span maximizes the GE.
