In recent days, density based Odor classification using EEG is a promising issue. As our environment becomes polluted with various gases, it is necessary to know that which gas is present in the atmosphere and in what density. Our work in this paper gives an elementary approach to solve this problem. We have utilized liquid stimuli with three different concentration levels as Low (25% aroma and 75% water), medium (50% aroma and 50% water) and High (75% aroma and 25% water). General type-2 Fuzzy Classifier is used to classify the three different density stimuli. An accuracy of 86% is obtained in this experiment. Thus, we can illustrate that different density stimuli can be separable with EEG signals. The accuracy level can be further increased with other improved classifiers.

Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) reports are routinely used to monitor and benchmark the coverage in LTE cellular networks of fourth generation. Such measurements also trigger idle and active mode mobility decisions between two LTE cells or two inter-technology cells. Therefore, these measurements must be accurate and repeatable to facilitate both proper network functioning and network optimization. This paper presents a repeatability study on raw RSRP measurements collected in the 700 MHz frequency band in a commercial LTE network. This process is facilitated through the common RF drive-test method using a scanner-based tool as the measuring device. After gathering all the required data with the scanner, the main measurement statistical metrics are calculated in the analysis phase. The repeatability of the RSRP measurements is examined comparing statistics from data collected over identical drive route across different days. Based on the limited collected data set, good temporal repeatability and stability of the LTE RSRP measurements is confirmed allowing optimization to be based on a single LTE drive test.

Glaucoma is an ocular disorder in which severe damage to the optic nerve leads to vision loss. Glaucoma identification involves the measurement of shape and size of optic cup. Due to the interweavement of optic cup with blood vessels the optic cup segmentation is bit tedious task. Pre-processing followed by K-means clustering is used for optic cup segmentation which is further processed to find it’s dimension. Based on the fact that the fractal dimension is used to find the dimension of irregular objects, a novel approach is proposed for glaucoma detection using perimeter method of fractal analysis. Experimental results show that the fractal algorithm accurately detects the glaucoma.

The recent years have witnessed increase in air pollution levels throughout the world. Long term exposure to pollutants in air leads to chronic heart and lung diseases in biological organisms. Therefore monitoring the air pollution has become important. Increase in the human population, usage of fossil fuels, industrialization, vehicles, etc. directly affect the air pollution level and in turn the human health. The air quality level can be monitored using the Internet of Things (IoT). It is a network where uniquely identified things are connected to transfer information and communicates using the Internet protocol. This paper proposes an IoT based air pollution monitoring system and gives an overview of the hardware setup of the proposed system.

A low-profile two-port MIMO antenna is presented in this paper of size 50 mm ×82 mm × 1.6 mm for multiband applications. A FSS (frequency selective surface) structure with partial ground has been introduced in this design. Three FSS strips have been used in parallel to antenna structure in the middle of the backside of antenna. The substrate used is FR-4 ($varepsilon_{r}, quad$ = 4.4). The design has two triangle-shaped patch fed by 50 $Omega$ microstrip transmission line which at its end has a thin strip line for impedance matching. The antenna design has a decent gain of 2.8 dBi.

three-dimensional modulation using beam hopping (3DModBH), which is a novel transmission scheme, is employed for small cell indices and two-dimensional (2-D) modulation techniques to convey the information. 3DModBH in practical interference-limited scenario in 5G systems is not yet considered. In this paper, 3DModBH in interference-limited scenario is investigated. The joint maximum likelihood (JML) receiver can be applied to retrieve the transmitted bits. However, its complexity is prohibited for practical implementation. Therefore, we suggest novel and reduced complexity receivers for 3DModBH in interference-limited scenario. Simulation results show that the proposed receiver algorithms with 3DModBH are capable of performing almost optimal performance as the 3DModBH with JML receiver, significantly outperforming the state-of-theart transmission scheme (SoAT) with JML receiver and reducing in computational complexity compared with JML receiver.

An Apollonian gasket monopole antenna is designed for ultra-wideband dongle applications. The antenna exhibits impedance bandwidth of 10 GHz extending from 3.1 GHz to 13 GHz. Detailed design guidelines is presented and parametric studies are discussed for clarity. A stepped impedance resonator (SIR) is embedded to achieve a band notch characteristic at 5.6 GHz. The overall size of the antenna is $18 times 35$ mm2 that makes it suitable for dongle application.

Future 5G wireless networks demands for higher energy efficiency and spectral efficiency. To improve the energy efficiency of the wireless networks over fading channels, RF energy harvesting technique can be employed. In this paper, Energy-assisted Amplify and Forward (EAF) cooperative relay protocol has been proposed. To minimize the energy consumption of the battery, Power-Splitting (PS) based Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer (SWIPT) technique has been adopted in the relay nodes of cooperative wireless networks. The PS technique splits the received signal from the Access Point (AP) into two streams of different power. First stream goes to the information receiver module and the next stream goes to the energy harvester module in the relay. Analytical model and equations have been developed for the performance parameters such as capacity and throughput of the EAF protocol and they have been compared with the Energy-assisted Decode and Forward (EDF) protocol using MATLAB R2013a. It is observed that the capacity and throughput of the EAF relay protocol is 8.6% and 45% better than the EDF relay protocol respectively.

The hype about IoT has already reached its peak resulting in enormous expectations. To make these expectations come true, few practical issues need to be solved, one of them is a need for universal IoT platform that can improve interoperability. This paper aims at improving the understanding of existing IoT platforms and proposes a novel platform called ‘HAUS IoT Platform’. HAUS is a term used to refer to a person or thing who is amazing in all aspects of life. In this context, HAUS stands for Hardware Agnostic, Universal, and Shareable IoT platform. HAUS IoT Platform provides many special features like sharing publicly available sensors, hardware and software independence, secure transfer of data and all these features are provided in a cost-effective manner. HAUS IoT Platform overcomes all the roadblocks like hardware dependence, handling a large amount of data, security issues, difficulty in tracking devices etc. which are currently faced by IoT projects. It makes data transfer secure with tokenization method, easy to use API makes connection of devices effortless, sharing of devices reduces infrastructure cost.

This paper presents an experimental evaluation of ZigBee and DigiMesh networks; a two well-known and widely used Wireless Mesh Networks architectures. The performance metrics used were the throughput, Round Trip Time, Received Signal Strength Indication, and Mesh Routing Recovery Time. The conducted experiments show that DigiMesh have better throughput than ZigBeee networks. However, the later outperforms DigiMesh based networks by having lower Round Trip Time, higher Received Signal Strength Indication, and it needs less time to recover from a failure node. These features make ZigBee a better choice for applications that require less delay and need longer communication range, while DigiMesh based networks are better used for networks with high throughput requirements.
