Detecting Emitters within a Radar Environment presents hurdles to the System Designers such as accounting for interference and trying to classify multiple emitters when they are stacked. This paper presents a few-shot machine learning model that utilizes Siamese networks with classification. Given a relatively small dataset, the Siamese network's task is to find the difference between stacked pulses and normal pulse trains, as well as classify the pulse-descriptor words (PDWs), of the signals in the environment. The PDWs will characterize various aspects of the signal with help from a dynamic-thresholding deinterleaving algorithm. The data for this experiment are laboratory generated signals that are transmitted and received using MATLAB, the Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC ZCU104 FPGA board, and the AD-FMCOMMS2-EBZ RF module.","PeriodicalId":127072,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 12th Annual Ubiquitous Computing, Electronics & Mobile Communication Conference (UEMCON)","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133046803","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}

For the victim, it can be a traumatic experience, so much as to not report the crime. Consequently, the ‘Signal for Help’ hand gestures were recently introduced as a discrete method to enable the victim to confidently express their need for help. This research investigates the classification of these hand gestures using a deep learning approach, which has not previously been implemented in this context. A deep learning approach is chosen due to the favourable results obtained in different contexts on hand gesture classification. Due to the unavailability of a dataset containing images of these hand gestures, a ‘Signal for Help’ dataset containing 112 images is generated as part of this study. These images are pre-processed to be of size 50x50 dimensions. Furthermore, a synthetic version of this dataset is also generated from the pre-processed images containing 2,352 images. The aims of this research are to show that using a synthetic ‘Signal for Help’ dataset improves model performance, and using deep learning is effective in ‘Signal for Help’ hand gesture classification. The results in this research show that using a synthetic ‘Signal for Help’ dataset improves model performance and is effective for ‘Signal for Help’ hand gesture classification.","PeriodicalId":127072,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 12th Annual Ubiquitous Computing, Electronics & Mobile Communication Conference (UEMCON)","volume":"475 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124575430","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}

There are several interoperability challenges in today’s IoV networks, such as security and privacy issues, information irregularity, and so on. Because vehicle data is private and sensitive, it necessitates extra caution. Authentication of communicating devices is one such technique for securing data. The information sent via public channels is secured using authentication. Many protocols have been developed; however, traditional authentication models cannot be applied directly to circumstances needing low latency in particular. Furthermore, they are ineffective for two primary reasons: first, they are unable to adapt to the growing volume of data collected, and second, they are prone to cyber-attacks. As a result, in this paper, we attempt to propose a viable solution that is fully robust and overcomes the aforementioned problems. To protect IoV devices data during communication, we designed a lightweight and fog-based authentication scheme. Our approach ensures minimal communication cost and complies with high-security standards. Finally, we assess and compare our method’s performance in terms of network parameters such as throughput, end-to-end delay, and the rate of packet loss. Results indicate that our method scale well with the increasing number of vehicles while maintaining a minimal communication cost.","PeriodicalId":127072,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 12th Annual Ubiquitous Computing, Electronics & Mobile Communication Conference (UEMCON)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134099550","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}

The user signal detection during the uplink is one of the major challenges in massive MIMO systems due to the large number of antennas working together at both the user terminal and the base station. The current iterative methods do not offer great efficiency, and the conventional matrix inversion methods are computationally complex due to the large antennas involved in massive MIMO systems. In this paper, we propose a fast and efficient preconditioned iterative method by introducing a preconditioner based on ICF (Incomplete Cholesky Factorization). Additionally, we introduce a novel matrix initializer to further improve the convergence of the proposed algorithm. The numerical results, when compared to conventional methods, show that the proposed algorithm provides better error performance with optimal computational complexity.","PeriodicalId":127072,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 12th Annual Ubiquitous Computing, Electronics & Mobile Communication Conference (UEMCON)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124000380","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}

COVID-19 virus affects the respiratory system of healthy individuals. Chest X-ray is one of the important imaging methods to identify the coronavirus. In deep learning, a convolutional neural network (CNN), is a class of deep learning models, most commonly applied for better outcomes to analyzing visual imagery. Automated covid-19 using Deep Learning techniques could, therefore, serve as an effective diagnostic aid. In this study, we used a convolutional neural network (CNN) for detecting COVID-19 from chest X-ray images. The overall project comprises various convolutional layers. The Max-pooling layers diminish the size of the picture significantly and by joining convolutional and pooling layers, the net is able to combine its features to learn more global features of the Image. Eventually, we utilize the highlights in two completely associated (Dense) layers. Dropout is a regularization strategy, where the layer arbitrarily replaces an extent of its weights to zero for each training sample. This forces the net to learn features in an appropriate way, not depending a lot on specific weight, and thus improves speculation and 'relu' is the activation function. Applying convolutional neural network which is a Deep Learning algorithm that can take in an input image, relegate significance to different perspectives in the images and have the option to separate one from the other.","PeriodicalId":127072,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 12th Annual Ubiquitous Computing, Electronics & Mobile Communication Conference (UEMCON)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121493290","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}
