—Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) is an essential property of electromagnetic transmission. Nowadays, OAM is popular due to its capabilities to improve the electromagnetic spectrum efficiency which increases throughput. However, employing an OAM-based solution is costly as it suffers wave divergence mainly at high OAM orders (modes). This difficulty limits the distance range for successful communication link, particularly in wireless communication which is essential for realizing Internet of Things (IoT) applications. One of the available solutions to deal with this limitation is utilizing a cooperative relaying system. Relays are known for their potential to shorten the link connecting the source to the destination, as well as provide an alternative link to avoid deep fading. Nonetheless, conventional relaying technique (without buffers) are surpassed by adding buffering capabilities to relays, this enhances the system throughput. In this article, we suggest employing buffer-aided relays in OAM-based networks. Simulation trials show that the proposed buffer-aided relay solution assists the OAM-based network in obtaining higher throughput than its counterpart the traditional relays. The gain of using buffer-aided relays grows as the OAM-based networks become more restricted when they are transmitting at higher OAM orders. Furthermore, at higher thresholds, the rate of successful transmission goes down which degrades the system throughput. The results show that the buffer-aided relays outrun conventional relays at any threshold and the difference in performance becomes greater at more restricted higher thresholds. In addition, the buffer-aided relays help the OAM-based networks achieve lower outage probability than that achieved with traditional relays.

—In this research, an antenna design was developed using the wire-to-micros trip adaptation technique. The aim of developing the antenna is by modifying the change in position and shape of the antenna to get a large gain with a minimum value of 25 dB. This development is crucial for the use of Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR). The design of the antenna used in this study is to improve the performance of modifying conventional dipole antennas to become collinear arrays. Collinear array antennas involve modifying dipole arms to form an array, incorporating a coupling effect on both the positive and negative arms, and strategically rotating the vertical placement by 180 degrees to maximize the resulting gain. The study involved three types of antenna arrays, each consisting of eight antennas: Mode A, unidirectional with opposite poles; Mode A, not unidirectional with opposite poles; and Mode B, unidirectional with opposite poles. Early research made comparisons of polar differences with polar similarities. For the results of a single polar difference antenna Mode A and B, where Mode A produces S11-26.884 dB with Gains 3.825 dB, Mode B produces S11-20.408 dB with Gains 2.364 dB, for research on array antennas, it was carried out in stages, with as many as 8 array antennas, without reflectors and with reflectors. In the final configuration, an antenna with an array of 112 antennas using reflectors to produce S11 for a frequency of 1.03 GHz of-15.53061 dB with Gain 26.52 dB and an Azimuth beam width of 0.9ᵒ and for the frequency 1.09as big-20.73117 dB with Gain 25.6 dB and an Azimuth beam width of 0.8ᵒ. These results indicate the successful achievement of improved antenna performance, including a reduction in reflection coefficient and an increase in gain. These findings contribute to the advancement of antenna design for SSR applications, showcasing the potential for substantial gains in signal strength and directionality.

— Due to small packet sizes, classical data protection schemes are unsuitable for underwater communications. This article addresses this problem and contains two main results. As a first result, a new symmetric-key encryption protocol adaptable to small message sizes is introduced. The encryption scheme leverages the flexible Quantum Permutation Pad (QPP) symmetric key block cipher. It combines QPP with the block cipher counter mode and a random number generator seeded with a shared secret to adapt QPP to the short underwater protocol data units. Encryption and decryption algorithms are defined, building on QPP in counter mode. The algorithms are analyzed. The analysis demonstrates that the scheme does not achieve perfect indistinguishability. However, the analysis also demonstrates that the message collision probability can be very low. The scheme is generic and adaptable. As a second result, the new symmetric encryption scheme is adapted to the long-range underwater communication protocol (Pronounced you Whisper) UWSPR. The design is analyzed consistently with the theory. Related relevant issues are also addressed, such as key sizes and key generation with the challenges specific to the underwater environment.

—In this study, the use of a complementary four Split Ring Resonators (SRR)-based metamaterial is studied to develop a frequency-reconfigurable antenna for wireless communication. The tangent loss (tan) is 0.0009, and the dimensions of the Rogers RT5880 dielectric are (38×21×1.6) m 3 with a relative permittivity of 2.2. This is the substrate on which the proposed antenna is printed. A frequency range of 1.82 GHz to 6.44 GHz is observed for the antenna’s tuning. The proposed antenna exhibits a Voltage Standing Waves Ratio (VSWR) that does not exceed 1.5 in all resonant bands, affirming its reliability and efficiency. The proposed buildings' radiation efficiency ranges from 70.73% to 98.91%. The antenna operates in three different Modes depending on the antenna’s switching scenario. Antenna Mode 1 operates in a single-band (3.03 GHz). Mode 2 is a double-band (2.34 and 5.06 GHz), and finally, the tri-band or Mode 3 (1.82, 4.2, and 6.44 GHz). Using a fed microstrip line, it is possible to use a quarter-wavelength transformer line to get 50 characteristic impedance and good impedance matching. The method for extracting the parameters from the SRR’s meta-material property is covered in depth, which is how the existence of negative permeability and the new resonance frequencies are confirmed. The suggested antenna offers many benefits, such as straightforward construction, low return loss, and switching frequencies using a PIN diode (SMP1340-079LF).

—Understanding environmental conditions in different locations is crucial for addressing air-pollution issues. While wireless sensor networks offer the capability to monitor environmental quality locally, they face challenges related to power supply. This study introduces a low-power Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) employing distributed compressed sensing for a time-series environmental monitoring system. The proposed method achieves data compression at individual sensor nodes, mitigating power consumption during data transmission. Conversely, data restoration occurs on a server equipped with ample computing resources. This study investigates the power-saving impact of the proposed approach and identifies the optimal compression ratio. Experimental findings reveal a coefficient of determination of 0.9 or higher at a compression ratio of 90%. Our results indicate that the distributed compressed sensing-based WSN proposed in this study is effective for time-series environmental monitoring systems, offering valuable insights for future research endeavors.

—With the recent development of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Internet of Things technology has been widely adopted. In addition, key technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, and wireless communication are being combined. Positioning technology that uses these technologies is essential for locating human devices in modern industries. Although the Global Positioning System can provide relatively precise positioning outdoors, its performance is limited indoors due to propagation loss. Hence, various wireless signal-based indoor positioning technologies, such as WiFi, Bluetooth, ultra-wideband, and Visible Light Communication (VLC) are being studied. In this study, positioning in indoor VLC environments is analyzed using Deep Q-Network (DQN). Each element of reinforcement learning and the agent's action and reward function are set to increase positioning accuracy. Deep Q-Network (DQN) training is then performed to derive positioning performance. The simulation results show that the proposed model attains a positioning resolution of less than 15 cm and achieves a processing speed of less than 0.03 seconds to obtain the final position in the Visible Light Communication (VLC) environment.

—The rapid expansion of vehicular communication systems emphasizes the integration of LTE-V networks, crucial for applications like road safety, traffic management, and infotainment. High-speed scenarios demand efficient downlink scheduling due to constantly changing channel conditions influenced by factors like throughput and Bit Error Rate (BER). Mobility-induced channel variations lead to signal quality fluctuations, interference, and congestion. LTE-V networks require robust Quality of Service (QoS) for safety applications, necessitating algorithms that detect and mitigate interference by dynamically adjusting scheduling. Existing algorithms struggle with Doppler shift effects, interference, and predicting network patterns, prompting the exploration of an Intelligent Downlink Scheduling (IDS) scheme based on Support Vector Machines (SVM) for high-speed LTE-V networks. This work focuses on the optimization of the resource allocation, improving spectral efficiency, and predicting network congestion. Leveraging machine learning and optimization, it addresses challenges posed by varying vehicle densities, mobility patterns, and QoS needs. Extensive simulations show the IDS’s superiority, significantly enhancing throughput and reducing BER. The improved throughput signifies reduced data loss in scheduling queues, while lower BER indicates enhanced received data post-scheduling. The IDS facilitates real-time decision-making and data-driven insights, ideal for managing and optimizing downlink scheduling in dynamic Long-Term Evolution-Vehicle (LTE-V) networks. Simulation results demonstrate a substantial 13 dB improvement over the best CQI scheduler at a 10 -4 BER and a 24 Mbps increase at a 20 dB SNR for a vehicle density of 40, showcasing the IDS's performance enhancements.

High-speed scenarios demand efficient downlink scheduling due to constantly changing channel conditions influenced by factors like throughput and Bit Error Rate (BER). Mobility-induced channel variations lead to signal quality fluctuations, interference, and congestion. LTE-V networks require robust Quality of Service (QoS) for safety applications, necessitating algorithms that detect and mitigate interference by dynamically adjusting scheduling. Existing algorithms struggle with Doppler shift effects, interference, and predicting network patterns, prompting the exploration of an Intelligent Downlink Scheduling (IDS) scheme based on Support Vector Machines (SVM) for high-speed LTE-V networks. This work focuses on the optimization of the resource allocation, improving spectral efficiency, and predicting network congestion. Leveraging machine learning and optimization, it addresses challenges posed by varying vehicle densities, mobility patterns, and QoS needs. Extensive simulations show the IDS’s superiority, significantly enhancing throughput and reducing BER. The improved throughput signifies reduced data loss in scheduling queues, while lower BER indicates enhanced received data post-scheduling. The IDS facilitates real-time decision-making and data-driven insights, ideal for managing and optimizing downlink scheduling in dynamic Long-Term Evolution-Vehicle (LTE-V) networks. Simulation results demonstrate a substantial 13 dB improvement over the best CQI scheduler at a 10 -4 BER and a 24 Mbps increase at a 20 dB SNR for a vehicle density of 40, showcasing the IDS's performance enhancements.","PeriodicalId":53518,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Communications","volume":"69 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140406260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
—IP address auto reconfiguration, which ensures the optimum routing, is individual of the most challenging challenges in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET). IP address reconfiguration protocols are divided into two categories: stateful and stateless. Addresses must be unique, and conflicts between addresses must be avoided. This paper offers the Hunger Games Search Improved Extreme Learning Machine (HGS-IELM) Method framework for IP address auto reconfiguration in MANET, which is based on the Hunger Games Search algorithm and the Improved Extreme Learning Machine. The HGS-IELM voting enforces ensuring a fresh read depending on each access. Both data consistency and message overhead are engineered to work together. The suggested HGS-IELM approach is scalable and does not need the use of a central server. According to the results of the experiments, the proposed HGS-IELM framework achieved decreased message overhead and latency. The suggested HGS-IELM approach exhibited enhanced address availability while maintaining appropriate redundancy.

—This study presents a Defected Ground Structure (DGS) mechanism and improves its antenna properties. Three DGS models are discussed: two including a single antenna and one including an array microstrip antenna design. The microstrips are designed for broadband wireless frequencies of 2.1 GHz (5G Technology) for a single antenna, and 5.8 GHz (wireless local area network) for an array antenna. These frequencies are achieved using three shapes of DGS in the simulations and the results are suitable for broadband applications. The antenna patches are rectangular with two types of DGS, and an array circular with one type of DGS. The results show the DGS provides better bandwidth and gain for a single antenna. Nevertheless, DGS achieves gain enhancement for an array antenna and this design yields a miniaturized array antenna of 69.92% and 73.47% in width and length, respectively. The three shapes of DGS have different designs: rectangular patch antenna with frame-shaped DGS, rectangular antenna with rectangular slot-shaped DGS, and array circular antenna with rectangular slots of DGS. A rectangular patch antenna with frame-shaped DGS and an array circular antenna with rectangular slots of DGS yields bandwidths of 533 MHz and 327 MHz. The single antenna improves the fractional bandwidth by 25.38% with a miniaturized patch. Nonetheless, the array circular antenna with DGS obtains a gain enhancement of 16 dB greater than the initial array without DGS.
