This paper presents a 12-bit Successive Approximation Register (SAR) Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) designed for a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) application. The objective of this work is to reduce the number of capacitors in the Capacitor Digital to Analog Converter (CDAC). To achieve this, a hybrid type DAC has been applied where 8 Most Significant Bits (MSB)s are decided through capacitive DAC and 4 Least Significant Bits (LSB)s are decided in a Resistor DAC (RDAC). The conversion speed for this design reaches up to 6 MS/s. The prototype ADC is designed in a 90 nm complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process. The analog and digital supply voltage range for this design are 2.7-5.5 V and 1.1-1.3 V respectively. For 6 MS/s conversion rate, this ADC achieves up to 11.8 and 11.2 effective number of bits (ENOBs), for maximum and minimum supply voltages respectively. The current consumption from a 5 V supply voltage is 980 µA and the Figure of Merit (FOM) is 229 fJ/Conv.step.

With recognition of quantum computer's enormous computational ability, it is of paramount importance to develop fault-tolerant quantum computing systems for their practical use. Recently, it has been shown that fault-tolerant systems can be achieved using a small set of basic quantum operations. This, however, incurs technical difficulties in finding an optimal sequence of basic operations toward a specific target computation and may limit possible quantum computations. In this work, we aim to achieve arbitrary target quantum computations under the restriction of four universal quantum gates of Pauli-X, -Y, -Z and SWAP. We develop two gate-sequence search methods based on the fidelity measure and deep neural networks. We verify the performance of our proposed methods through numerical results comparing total search space and the number of searched nodes.

The Internet of Things (IoT) connects a complex set of devices that perform data collection, processing, and environmental control in various applications. Due to the extent of potential monitoring and control capabilities, its infrastructure and data security is an essential design consideration. This presents unique challenges due to the heterogeneity of devices and dynamism involved. Context should thus be considered when applying suitable security measures without unnecessarily taxing the network. To do so, a four-layer framework that incorporates Software-defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is proposed due to their flexibility in rapidly adjusting to network conditions to support context-aware security in IoT applications.

Recently, a lot of concentration is on how early diagnosis for critical diseases can be accommodated with deep learning (DL). e-health is an emerging area in the junction of medical informatics, public health, and business, indicating health assistance and data delivered or improved by the Internet and associated technologies. Resource management as bandwidth allocation problem is a key problem while transmitting processed medical data where both data integrity and quality are of utmost importance. To address the early intelligent detection and diagnosis of the diseases, an end-to-end DL model i.e., You Only Look Once (YOLOv3-tiny) is selected for the detection of the tumor within with wireless capsule endoscopy videos. The DL mode is an improved version of the YOLOv3-tiny wherein each convolutional layer, different convolutional filters, is employed to extract both local and global features. The motivation is early detection of the critical disease followed by remote physician diagnosis where resource management as a bandwidth allocation is investigated using encoders like H.265/HEVC and VP9. The proposed scheme controls the frame rate, video resolution, and compression ratio as quantization based on the intelligent decision from the DL model. The performance of the improved YOLOv3-tiny model is benchmarked with YOLOv3-tiny and our previous work in terms of precision, sensitivity, F1-score, and F2-score. Furthermore, the resource management results are shown in terms of bandwidth and storage for both encoders.

Recently, studies to analyze heart disease using ECG signals are emerging. The proposed platform generates multiple reference signals trained for individuals in real time by reducing the learning time. The data in the cluster is compressed by linear approximation to speed up diagnosis and reduce memory usage, allowing more diagnosis to be performed with limited resources. Platforms using FPGA can accelerate ECG signal diagnosis by adding hardware. As a result of diagnosing ECG signals of 10 people using the processor and accelerator, the execution time when using the accelerator was 71% lower than that when using the processor.

GaN (Gallium nitride) semiconductors have more than 10 times the power density of Si-based Latterly Diffused Metal Oxide Semiconductor (LDMOS) transistors used in conventional Power Amplifiers, enabling more than 30% power savings and higher power density and efficiency. In this paper, we design a high-efficiency, high-power Class-D Power Amplifier with output higher than 40W by controlling the full-bridge structure composed of GaN elements using GaN drivers. The proposed Power Amplifier uses the Samsung 180nm process and designs 5 V as supply power.

This paper studies deep learning-based beamforming design schemes for multi-user downlink systems. Two distinct objectives are considered: sum-rate maximization and min-rate maximization. Each of formulations is first tackled by classical majorization-minimization (MM) algorithms that find a locally optimum point iteratively. To reduce computational overheads of the MM algorithms, deep neural networks (DNNs) are introduced which yield optimized beamforming solutions from channel vector inputs. Performance of trained DNNs is evaluated in terms of bit-error rate (BER) measure. Numerical results show that deep learning approaches achieve the BER performance very close to MM algorithms with much reduced complexity. Also, it is desirable to adopt the minimum-rate criterion to achieve low BER performance rather than sum-rate.

Vehicular Edge Computing (VEC) is a new leading technology to enhance the vehicular performance through task offloading where resource-confined vehicles offload their computing task to the vehicular multi-access edge computing (MEC) networks in proximity. However, the environment of vehicular task offloading is extremely dynamic and faces some challenges to determine the location of processing the offloaded task. As a result, to achieve optimal performance by using traditional VEC system is difficult because in advance we don't know the demand of vehicles. Therefore, a non-cooperative game theory-based efficient task offloading (NGTO) scheme is proposed in this study where the offloading decisions are taken either the MEC server or remote cloud server through the game-theoretic approach. To reduce the processing latency of the vehicles' computation tasks and assure the maximum utility of each vehicle, we used a distributed best response offloading strategy. Our proposed strategy accommodates its offloading probability to achieve a unique equilibrium under certain conditions. Detailed performance evaluation affirms that our proposed NGTO scheme can outperform in all scenarios. It can minimize the response time at almost 41.2 % and average task failure rate at approximately 56.3% when compared with a local roadside unit computing (LRC) scheme. The reduced response time and task failure rates are approximately 25.2% and 20.4%, respectively, when compared with a collaborative (LRC with cloud via roadside unit) offloading scheme.
