Modern wireless mobile networks rely on microwave technology for backhual the radio sites with all new technologies to their core network. Microwave is the best solution in urban and sub-urban areas due to low cost and newly provided capacity by microwave links which reaches 10 Gbps. Thus microwave links is a very important aspect in mobile network. Microwave Radio Link design begins by doing the link budget analysis which include specific parameters for the link to operate. Microwave link should be maintained with these parameters to keep acceptable radio performance, capacity and latency. In this work we presented a practical and automated criteria to maintain these parameters as designed without impact on radio performance especially RSL (Receive Signal level). Trial conducted in a live network showing a great enhancement in early discovery of microwave link problems and proactively solving them.

Cell-Free Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (M-MIMO) is a system where a large number of low-cost single antenna Access Points (APs) are distributed over a specific area. The APs are connected to a Network Controller (NC) and serve all the existing users simultaneously. This work proposes two power allocation algorithms for Conjugate Beamforming (CB) and Zero-Forcing (ZF) pre-coders in downlink scenario. They are based on quantizing the transmitted powers of APs to reduce the system complexity. The performance of the proposed algorithms is evaluated under the most common practical scenarios such as channel errors, pilot contamination and correlated shadowing channel model. The results show that the proposed algorithms have closer solution to the optimal one for both pre-coders. Moreover, ZF pre-coder significantly outperforms CB pre-coder with and without pilot contamination effect under both correlated and uncorrelated shadowing channel models.

In this paper, the totally transparent microstrip antenna consists of all dielectric materials is proposed for wireless communications. A water-based microstrip antenna is fed by an L-shaped probe. All dielectric water-based meta material (MM) unit-cell element consists of dielectric cubic boxes filled with water. It is designed and optimized for MM characteristics in the frequency band from 4 GHz to 4.4 GHz. A reconfigurable MM electric properties is achieved by changing the water height in the MM unit-cell element. A water-based MM lens consists of three layers is designed to collimate the radiation from the microstrip antenna. The phase compensation in the MM lens is achieved by changing the water heights in the MM unit-cell elements of the lens. A reconfigurable beam in different directions from −30° to +30° is steered by changing the water level distribution over the MM lens unit-cell elements. A fullwave analysis using the finite integration technique is used for the design and analysis of the water-based MM lens arrangements.

In massive multi-input multi-output (mMIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, reduction of high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is a challenging problem. Although deliberate amplitude peak limiting is a promising PAPR reduction approach, it causes un-desired nonlinear in-band distortion and out-of-band radiation. Thus, the joint use of a peak limiter and band-limitation filter such as clipping-and-filtering (C&F) is required. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the effect of C&F based PAPR reduction for mMIMO-OFDM systems, where a band-limitation filter is designed to limit out-of-band radiation due to clipping while mitigating peak amplitude regrowth due to filtering. We discuss the effect of utilizing extra degrees of freedom for compensating in-band distortion due to C&F in mMIMO systems. Simulation results verified the effectiveness of the above approach in terms of instantaneous peak power, adjacent channel leakage power ratio (ACLR) and signal-to-distortion power ratio (SDR) in mMIMO-OFDM downlink.

Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSN) are the overgrowth and emerging technology. Routing process in MWSN is more complicated than static one. Therefore, many routing protocols have been implemented recently for MWSN to accomplish progress in energy consumption field. This paper presents a Mobility based Genetic Algorithm Hierarchical routing Protocol (MGAHP) to achieve maximum lifetime of the network and improve the stable period of MWSN. The basic idea of the proposed MGAHP protocol is using Genetic Algorithm (GA) to find the optimum number of Cluster Heads (CHs) and their locations depending on minimizing the energy consumption of the sensor nodes. Simulation results exhibited that the proposed MGAHP protocol gives better improvement in energy efficient than LEACH-M, CBR-Mobile, and MACRO protocols.

Implementing optics to computer interconnection networks is a general orientation nowadays. Optical multistage interconnection networks (OMINs) are a trending solution for communication applications. However, optical crosstalk occurs when two signals are coupled into one switching element at a time. Under the need of dodging crosstalk, this paper deals with the application of proposed fast Zero Heuristic algorithms to rout messages through OMINs. The results indicate that the Fast Zero Heuristic algorithms could reduce the time by about 45% compared with the standard heuristic algorithms.

In robot kinematics and control, it is very hard to find the solution of inverse kinematics. Conventional methods including algebraic and geometric cannot be always adequate for complex joint structures. Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) can be easier to apply and more efficient compared to these methods. The problem encountered with ANFIS usually occurs in the designing process. it includes the setting of various parameters which can be complicated and time-intensive for iterations. Facing this problem, in this paper, a Design of Experiment (DoE) methodology will be used to optimize the significant parameters of ANFIS when it is applied to inverse kinematics solution. Using Response Surface Methodology (RSM), four factors are considered as input variables. Results show that the validation error can be significantly improved using the proposed scheme. For each theta, the significant parameters were determined, and the optimal values were presented.

Space modulation techniques (SMTs) are promising multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) schemes that draw an intriguing attention lately due to their superior performance enhancement in terms of energy efficiency, spectral efficiency, and unpretentious receiver's complexity. In the SMTs, the indices of the building blocks of the communication system are harnessed in an innovative way to embed an additional information. As such, the SMTs use the transmit antenna indices to fulfill higher transmission efficiency than the other MIMO opponents. Although of their appealing advantages, the SMTs suffer from a main disadvantage which is represented in the logarithmic proportion between their achievable data rates and the number of the transmit antennas. Therefore, the authors proposed the fully-quadrature spatial modulation (F -QSM) in order to vanquish the main disadvantage of the SMTs. In the F -QSM, the transmit antenna indices are varied in an innovative way to achieve a linear proportion between the achievable data rate and the number of the transmit antennas. In this paper, the performance of the F-QSM is investigated over Rician fading channel. The average bit error rate performance (ABER) of the F -QSM is assessed and weighted against the ABER of the conventional SMTs under different values of Rician factor. Furthermore, the computational complexity of the F -QSM is obtained as well and weighted against the computational complexity of the conventional SMTs. The conducted Monte-Carlo simulations substantiate the outweighing of the proposed scheme in terms of achievable data rate and ABER performance but at the expense of a slight increase in the computational complexity compared to the conventional SMTs.

Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is a promising technology that still faces many challenges such as scalability and the highly dynamic topology. An effective VANET clustering algorithm significantly relieves the effect of these challenges. In this paper, we propose a double-head clustering (DHC) algorithm for VANETs. Our proposed approach is a mobility-based clustering algorithm that exploits the most relevant mobility metrics such as vehicles' speed, position and direction, in addition to other metrics related to the communication link quality in order to achieve stable clusters. We compare the proposed algorithm against existing clustering algorithms using different evaluation metrics under dynamic and static mobility scenarios. The proposed algorithm proves its stability and efficiency under different mobility scenarios.

Steganography is the art or the science of hiding information such as text, audio, video, etc. in another cover media such as text, audio, video and recently the information is hidden in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences which have been become a cover medium for steganography. In this paper, a high secured, a high capacity, preserved algorithm is proposed for hiding data in DNA without affecting its functionality or its type. The proposed algorithm is developed using a Neural Network algorithm and the least significant bit (LSB) of the DNA codon to give a lowest cracking probability and a lower execution time. The secret messages are hidden inside the reference DNA sequence and the performance is measured by calculating the cracking probability, capacity, payload and bpn.
