The limited available spectrum and the inefficiency in the spectrum usage necessitate a new communication technology, referred to as cognitive radio (CR) networks. The important functionality of Cognitive Radio (CR) is spectrum sensing in which accuracy and speed of estimation prove to be the key indicators to select the appropriate spectrum sensing technique. Spectrum sensing helps to detect the spectrum holes providing high spectral resolution capability. It is one of the most challenging issues in cognitive radio systems. In this paper, a survey of spectrum sensing methodologies for cognitive radio is presented. Various aspects of spectrum sensing problem are studied from a cognitive radio perspective. The Wavelet Edge Detection is one of the most widely used Spectrum Sensing techniques. This technique observes the spatial distribution of spectral data at multiple resolutions.

In recent years chaotic communication systems have emerged as an alternative solution to conventional spread spectrum systems. The security of chaos communication system is superior to other digital communication system, because it has characteristics such as non-periodic, wide-band, non-predictability, easy implementation and sensitive initial condition. This paper makes a primary contribution to evaluate the BER performance of Chaos MIMO Communication system. The different maps that have been considered are Tent map, Boss map, Henon map and logistic map. The modulation scheme that has been considered is CDSK in presence of AWGN channel.

Farmers are facing a lot of difficulties because of the increasing monkey menace in the Indian Agricultural land. The massive fruit and vegetable crops worth crores of rupees were fully damaged and destroyed by the monkeys. In an opinion survey that was conducted based on the monkey menace, it was discovered that monkeys are becoming a threat for public health, crop and property. Most people in the monkey menace prone zones are convinced that these monkeys should be trapped and moved to some other place. The existing detection systems such as Light and Camera Option, Infra sound and Seismic Communication Option are very highly expensive and very less effective. The proposed detection system comprises of wireless sensor network which is coupled with ultrasonic sound generator to ward off monkeys. The sensor node senses the movement of the monkey into the land and notifies the sink node by broadcasting alarm tones using our application specific flooding algorithm. The Sink node triggers the attached ultrasonic sound generator which produces ultrasonic sound in the range of more than 20 kHz which irritates monkeys and forces them away from the field. We evaluate the performance of our flooding approach using ns2.35 simulator and show that our algorithms performs better in terms of number of broadcasts, end to end latency and battery life of sensor nodes.

The main challenge of Wireless Sensor Networks is to transfer the data with less cost and energy. Another requirement of efficient WSN is to have a maximum lifetime of sensor nodes. This lifetime of sensor nodes gets reduced due to usage of large amounts of energy and fading. To overcome this barrier, many techniques such as, LEACH, PEGASIS etc., are invented over the decades. Existing system used single cluster head to transfer the data from nodes to base station. This paper proposes the concept of dual cluster head which follows sleep and awake modes to share the work load. AODV routing protocol is used in this technique. Here the next hop is selected based on forward aware factor (FAF). This system improved the energy efficiency and reduced the delay. Experimental results are compared with LEACH and PEGASIS. It has been proved that this system outstripped the other traditional systems. This technique can be used for weed detection among cereal crops.

Hunger has become a major problem to most of the human race. Decreased output from agriculture is a major contributing factor. For most third world countries the farming population has been constantly suffering. The poorer strata among farmers suffer due to the lack of awareness and their own incapability to utilize the methods modern science has readily made available to the masses. The small size of the individually owned lands makes it mored ifficult to utilize the machinery which would have otherwise substituted for their current levels of knowledge. Ironically, if improved machinery were to be implemented to replace the farmer, leading to even 10% unemployment, a staggering 14.4 million people with no other significant skill sets [1] would be unemployed indefinitely. This leads to a stalemate which ultimately benefits no-one; the agricultural output does resources continue to decimate our already dwindling pool of resources. This paper intends to present methods to equip the farmer with tools that supplement his knowledge as well as add to the output of his farm without leading to mass unemployment.

In this paper the integration of Precision Agriculture (PA) and Smart grid technologies is proposed as an avenue for increasing the volume of sustainable energy supply. Agriculture constitutes a large load to accomplish tasks such as irrigation, crop collection and processing. Furthermore, it has an untapped potential for generation of energy from agricultural residue and waste. PA involves exacting and precise measurements of different variables of interest, be it related to consumption or generation of energy. This provides information that can increase the accuracy of energy demand and supply forecasting, the basis of better load management in Smart grid. Such integration has the potential to benefit agricultural systems through reduced costs of input including costs of waste disposal. Furthermore it may also positively benefit the environment through consumption of carbon neutral fuels. In addition, if the better energy management is utilized to give some excess power to the villages around smart farms, it can form the basis for power generation for remote communities.

Communication is one of the important aspects of life. Along with the improvement in age and its growing demands, there has been rapid growth in the field of communications. Signals, which were primarily sent in the analog domain, are being sent more and more in the digital domain nowadays. For improved transmission, even single carrier waves are being replaced by multi carriers. Multi carrier systems like CDMA and OFDM are nowadays being implemented frequently. Though, an OFDM signal has a huge peak-to-average power ratio, which can effect in vital distortion when passed through a nonlinear device, such as a transmitter power amplifier. New studies investigates, during wide computer simulations, the effects of clipping and filtering on the performance of OFDM, including the power spectral density, the crest factor, the bit-error rate and the PAPR. But still the high PAPR exists in OFDM systems. In this project, we propose Bit Interleaved Coded Modulation (BICM) to diminish PAPR in OFDM which attain performance for both lightly and fully loaded systems.

In the era of ICT technologies, automation in grading of mango (Mangifera Indica L.) is important to reach consumer demand for quality mango. This paper addresses that issue to identify agricultural produce based on shape, size and maturity. Fuzzy inference system is used for decision making process. In this paper, proposed methodology is divided in three phases: In first phase, mangoes are classified either well formed or deformed using eccentricity, extent and cross-ratio properties of shape. Second phase discusses about size and maturity classification. Weight and area are used for size feature extraction and mean of a* and b* channel of L*a*b* color space are used as parameters of maturity feature. In this phase, mangoes are classified in small, medium or big size and unripe, partially ripe or ripe maturity. At final phase, decision making theory is used to grade mango in class I, class II or class III. Integration of whole system results average accuracy 90% and system takes 2.1 seconds to grade a mango.

Many industrial chemical processes involve exothermic (heat generating) reactions whose temperature needs to be controlled for safe operation of the process. If there is any irregularity in coolant flow, the reactant temperature becomes difficult to control. Reaction continues under unsafe condition till all the reactants finish which may lead to hazardous reaction. Dicumyl peroxide reaction is one such process, where the amount of heat generated is high, which may cause thermal explosion and runaway reaction to occur when the heat liberated is not compensated by the jacket coolant temperature or due to contaminants present in the reactor. The present work comprises identification of the process dynamics by nonlinear ARX model and estimation of internal states of the process reaction using estimators like Kalman Filter (KF), Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and Unscented Kalman Filters (UKF). Results of these estimators are compared and suitable estimator which provides least mismatch between plant and model will be applied to design the control law for efficient control.

Transport affects agricultural marketing because it is the only means by which farmers can transport their produce to the market. Reliable road path is essential for transporting the cultivated crops to the market at right time. Heavy traffic, railway crossings, road repair and unexpected road blocks increases the transportation time. The increase in transportation time results in loses of crop freshness and quality which reduces the profit for farmers. The impacts of road infrastructure on agricultural output and productivity are particularly important in rural development. In this paper, we propose a methodology to detect reliable road path with reduced transportation time in the presence of road blocks or damages. The road network with the length and width of roads (both damaged as well as good) can be extracted accurately from a given remote sensing image. Discontinuities of roads are identified (due to damage or block) using multilevel searching by iteratively increasing the jump step size in pixels. The experimental results shows that the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed methodology.
