Cognitive radio (CR) technologies can be used to harvest unoccupied spectrum bands to meet the growing data rate demands of many emerging Internet of Things (IoT) and smart grid applications. In Pakistan, radio spectrum from 30MHz-1030MHz has been allocated to various services including analog TV broadcasts and cellular operators. In this paper, we attempt to quantify actual spectrum usage in these bands in order to gauge the potential of CR based services. Such measurement campaigns and spectrum occupancy results are largely unavailable for Pakistan. In our survey, we study the 24 hour spectrum usage pattern with measurements taken over 10 weekday periods at our university campus in Lahore. Our results reveal that on average very large amount of spectrum remains unoccupied for most of the time at the site of our study. Radio spectrum in the range of 30MHz-174MHz showed highest variation in the utilization rate ranging from 2.56% to 95%. More than two third of the spectrum in the range of 174MHz-850MHz remained severely under-utilized in our observations. The spectrum in the range of 850MHz-1030MHz occupied by the cellular operators had relatively high minimum occupancy of 25% with an average spectrum occupancy of only 35.41%. These observations call for more efficient allocation and utilization of radio spectrum in Pakistan.

Recent advances in networking and communication technologies have enabled Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices to communicate more frequently and faster. An IoT device typically transmits data over the Internet which is an insecure channel. Cyber attacks such as denial-of-service (DoS), man-in-middle, and SQL injection are considered as big threats to IoT devices. In this paper, an anomaly-based intrusion detection scheme is proposed that can protect sensitive information and detect novel cyber-attacks. The Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm is used to train the Random Neural Network (RNN) based system (RNN-ABC). The proposed scheme is trained on NSL-KDD Train+ and tested for unseen data. The experimental results suggest that swarm intelligence and RNN successfully classify novel attacks with an accuracy of 91.65%. Additionally, the performance of the proposed scheme is also compared with a hybrid multilayer perceptron (MLP) based intrusion detection system using sensitivity, mean of mean squared error (MMSE), the standard deviation of MSE (SDMSE), best mean squared error (BMSE) and worst mean squared error (WMSE) parameters. All experimental tests confirm the robustness and high accuracy of the proposed scheme.

The way and size of matrix sampling have significant effects on the obtained eigen/singular values and the corresponding eigen/singular vectors of the sample matrix. Thus, this work analyzes and investigates these effects on the Angle of Arrival (AoA) estimation accuracy. To this end, the covariance matrix is sampled with different sub-matrices sizes. The obtained sampled matrices are used to construct the projection matrices. At each formed projection matrix, the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is applied to calculate the singular values of the signal subspace to show the sampling impact. It is demonstrated with the same array aperture size, output Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and the number of snapshots, the power can be increased by increasing only number of sampled rows/columns in the matrix projection construction stage. This, in turn, improves the estimation accuracy of the AoA methods. Numerical simulation examples are given to justify this claim. The results are presented and discussed.

An Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) application requires vehicles to be connected to each other and to roadside units to share information, thus reducing fatalities and improving traffic congestion. Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) is one of the main forms of network designed for ITS in which information is broadcasted amongst vehicular nodes. However, the broadcast reliability in VANETs face a number of challenges - dynamic routing being one of the major issues. Clustering, a technique used to group nodes based on certain criteria, has been suggested as a solution to this problem. This paper gives a summary of the core criteria of some of the clustering algorithms issues along with a performance comparison and a development evolution roadmap, in an attempt to understand and differentiate different aspects of the current research and suggest future research insights.

This paper presents the fabrication and experimental validation of an Empty Substrate Integrated Waveguide fed microstrip patch antenna for millimeter-wave frequencies, targeting at 28 GHz. The proposed antenna is fabricated and measured for both transverse and longitudinal slot configurations. The fabricated prototypes for both configurations are measured for experimental results in terms of return loss (∣S11∣), realized gain and efficiency. Good agreement between the simulated and measured results validate the design.

Internet of Things (IoT) is not new in the market; however, they are becoming more dominant in various operations and applications. These pervasive infrastructures can collect different data in a given environment such as temperature, pressure, light sensitivity, and so on to enable remote condition monitoring. Subsequently, these collected data can be used for many purposes depending on the user's requirement. Currently, there are colossal interests from researchers to know how to use these infrastructures to collect and send data over different protocols to the cloud for efficient remote handling from anywhere in the world. In this paper, we design and implement an infrastructure based on Pycom development board FiPy and sensor shield Pysense to collect and send data to the remote cloud over Wi-Fi and Long Range (LoRa) protocols. The intelligible set up is beneficial for observing and managing data in the cloud.

To acquire the high accuracy position information, a difference UWB-TDOA positioning system is proposed. Referring to the working principle of GNSS-RTK, the difference UWB positioning system is developed to decrease the synchronization error and system stability is promoted. System experiments prove that the proposed system could increase positioning accuracy and achieve accuracy of 10cm.

Milimeter-wave (mm-wave) communication, which has already been a part of the fifth generation of mobile communication networks (5G), would result in ultra dense small cell deployments due to its limited coverage characteristics. In such an environment, outdoor base stations (BS) will get closer to the buildings, in which users are covered and served by indoor small cells that in turn degrades the user Quality of Experience (QoE) owing to the increased interference caused by the outdoor BSs. In this paper, indoor coverage analysis is conducted by considering a scenario, which includes a multi-storey building and two identical indoor femtocell and outdoor BS operating at 28 GHz. During the simulations, impacts of the outdoor BS's transmit power and distance to the building on the indoor coverage are investigated. In addition, various material types, namely one layer brick, International Telecommunication Union (ITU) 28 GHz concrete, ITU 28 GHz glass, and ITU 28 GHz wood, for the building walls are tested. Results reveal that dielectric properties of the materials are the key factors in determining the severity of the interference caused by the outdoor BS, paving the way for including the effects of material type in network designing and smart city planning.

This project aims to design a new portable Brain Computer Interface (BCI) headset that can be used by non-professionals (patients, caregivers) as part of BCI therapeutic applications in the home environment. The suitability of the design of the new headset under its operating conditions was evaluated through use of mechanical testing in Computer Aided Design (CAD) software and physical prototypes. Extensive use of CAD based design was used to create a novel testbed for future prototypes of BCI headsets. We present a solution for optimised hardware design of the BCI headset which incorporates existing electronic components (dry electrodes, portable amplifier, battery etc.)
