In establishing of next-generation wireless networks, finding the best connection is a key challenge. An algorithm based on utility theory has been proposed in this paper to evaluate all these wireless networks, in terms of network performances and user behaviours. By applying the utility function, user satisfaction can be mathematically calculated in terms of the criterion received by each user. A single criterion function with sigmoid type has been chosen, by which the user behaviour can be perfectly described. Next, a novel aggregate method has been added, with user preference involved, to calculate the overall utility. The network with highest utility is the best choice for user. Both theoretical analysis and practical simulation have proved the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm. (6 pages)

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been widely used in various monitoring applications, each with its own deployment challenges. For instance, in the case of paddy field monitoring, such outdoor issues as antenna placement, node density, node positioning, energy constraint, base station design, and data collection have to be considered. This paper highlights the implementation challenges of WSNs for paddy field monitoring and proposes practical solutions to these challenges. In particular, solar panels are employed to address the energy constraint of the WSN. Experiments were conducted in a paddy field of size 12,000m2 within a period of seven months. The experimental data are shown and analyzed in this paper to justify our design. (6 pages)

An integrated multi-tier, multi-hop WiMAX-WiFi network is seen as a promising solution to provide fast and low cost broadband access to places where the wired infrastructure is not ready or is too expensive. This paper investigates the potentials of deploying such network in rural Malaysia. The role of IEEE802.16 (WiMAX) WMAN technology is basically to provide backhaul support i.e. carry traffic from various access nodes to the gateway and hence the Internet, while the IEEE802.11 WLAN (WiFi) provides access service to the end users. This paper provides some insights on the capacity and coverage and performance of the proposed architecture. Its capability to provide multimedia services is also investigated using a representative village scenario in Malaysia. (6 pages)

The pioneering work of Gupta and Kumar [1] has inspired many subsequent studies on asymptotically achievable per node throughput and delay analysis for wireless networks. In this paper, we evaluate the delay and maximum achievable per node throughput of a heterogeneous wireless mesh network (HWMN). We derive an analytical model which incorporates diffusion approximation method [2] and then compare with the results of per node information theoretic capacity done by P. Li and Y.G. Fang [3]. The network topology consists of n normal nodes and m more powerful helping nodes in a rectangular area. Results show that higher magnitude of exponent w gives higher absorption probability which consequently reduces the delay. We found that the derived maximum achievable per node throughput is inversely proportional to the average number of hops traversed by packets, node density, and number of squares in the network. Also, we are able to obtain the result stated in [1] i.e., maximum achievable per-node throughput is according to Θ(W1/√nlogn), where W1 is normal node transmission bandwidth. (6 pages)

Saving energy is a very critical issue in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) because sensor nodes have a severe resource constraints such as lack of processing power and limited in power supply. Since the communication is the most energy consuming activities in WSNs, the power use for transmission or reception of packet should be managed properly. Transmission power control (TPC) technique is one of the techniques to reduce energy consumption which has been widely studied in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). This technique is implemented by adjusting the transmission power in communication between nodes. However, as mobile wireless sensor networks (MWSNs) applications emerge, the unique characteristics of this network such as severe resource constraints and frequent topology change suggest that TPC might be useful to reduce energy consumption in MWSN. Therefore, we investigate the impact of TPC on Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol for MWSNs. AODV is used as a medium of communication to assist the investigation of the effects of TPC in multihop communication in MWSNs. The simulation results show that the implementation of TPC technique has some impact on MWSNs in respect to transmission energy consumption and transmission power level required at low node mobility.

Dynamic spectrum access technologies such as cognitive radio aim to improve the current spectrum utilisation by allowing opportunistic spectrum access to the licensed frequency bands without causing interference. However, in order to this, better understanding of the spectrum usage pattern is important. In this context, this paper presents the 24-hour spectrum survey of an outdoor radio environment in a suburban area in Johor Bahru, Malaysia in the frequency bands from 30-3000 MHz. The objectives are to investigate how the different services being allocated are utilised and identify bands that have low or no active utilisation. The result of the spectrum measurement reveals that the utilisation is 11.29% with a significant amount of spectrum underutilized is at frequencies above 1 GHz. The outcome of the study suggests that cognitive radio could indeed improve the spectrum utilisation and become the platform to provide for future wireless services. However, these studies are preliminary and future long term spectrum survey is required in better understanding and modelling of the actual spectrum usage pattern for cognitive radio applications.

Transmission power control allows a node to dynamically change its power level for energy saving. Many adaptive clustering algorithms propose to use different power levels for clustering. However, the transmission power control had never been integrated as a step in the algorithms. Analysis of the algorithm is done based on assumption that nodes are capable of switching between different power levels. This paper attempts to highlight the possible overhead incurred due to applying power control algorithm in an adaptive clustering in Wireless Sensor Networks. The side effects of executing power control algorithm every time cluster heads rotate can possibly cancel all performance gained if communication overhead is not taken into account. This paper identifies the energy overhead and delay time as two main factors to consider for integration to be successfully implemented. We perform analysis of these factors on existing clustering algorithms such as EECS and MOECS. The analytical results show that the energy overhead is dependent on network size and the number of cluster head candidates. We also show that the delay time involved in switching power levels has to remain low for effective clustering process. (6 pages)

This paper focuses on an intelligent approach of using Smartphone to capture the users' behaviour in a social network system, namely University-Cyber AgenT (UniCAT) system through a Publish/Subscribe Model (PSM) in a mobile network. The UniCAT is a multi-agent Social Network System (SNS) that captures and simulates the behaviours and daily activities of the people of Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR). The main purpose of the system is to capture the SNS users' behaviours, thus reflected on software agents, with each agent structure built on a reasoning mechanism in Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) model. A mobile version of UniCAT system is being proposed due to the convenience and feasibility in capturing more users' behaviours frequently through wireless technology, though available in UTAR but scarcely enjoyed or functional. The uniqueness of this work is that users' behaviours can be captured anywhere and anytime compared to existing desktop-based system and later information can be shared easily amongst UNICAT users because of the portability of mobile application, to save time, and for users' convenience.

Huge information is inherently associated with certain places in the globe. The ancient cities have multiple locations with large historical, geographical, cultural and architectural specialties. E-Learning systems allow the learners to learn irrespective of their time and place. The location based learning (LBL) is another aspect where the site seeing, and touching the building walls are the means of real-time experience of the sites. This manifestation motivates us to extend the capabilities of conventional E-learning systems so that the information can be accessed at the real-time based on the user's location. In this paper, the e-Learning system is used for the LBL with the help of navigation capabilities without modifying the existing systems. The learning content geocoding, reverse-geocoding, and real-time learning plan generation based on the user preferences and constraints have been proposed. The on-the-way learning is another aspect of the LBL that has been proposed with a prototype implementation. The implemented system is a flexible and visually appealing LBL platform with a possibility to get the real-time location specific information both from webdatabases and locally stored content.
