As per water resource availability in India, it can be said that, though India has sufficient amount of water, due to inadequate water distribution system, India has to bear a considerable amount of water wastage in the several parts of the country. In this line of thought, here we propose a nub less smart tap for public water outlet. Our in-depth study on existing technologies concludes that the current advancements in tap designing are limited with sophisticated deployments as it is highly expensive and delegate to use. Also, we have found that the primary cause of water wastage is public stand posts as it is not appropriately regulated. The careless attitude of citizens towards public properties lead to serious mismanagement towards water resources. Our prototype works through two sub-functions that are sensing and decision making. For sensing we have used the ultrasonic sensor and for decision-based action making, we have used a valve-actuator. The proposed model successfully monitors water losses and saves approximately 39% of the water daily.","PeriodicalId":129200,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques in Wireless Communications (MTTW)","volume":"32 38","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131804413","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}

This paper investigates the impact of the hardware and software parameters on the routing performance. The paper considers wireless channel signal strength and link quality as a hardware parameter. Moreover, the paper considers the expected transmission count used by the RPL protocol as a software and routing parameter. The evaluation was performed by a simulator commonly used for simulating the internet of things called COOJA. The numerical results show that the routing performance and link quality are divided into three grade zones as a performance metric based on the packet delivery ratio. These zones are white, gray, and black zone.","PeriodicalId":129200,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques in Wireless Communications (MTTW)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114282499","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 results of end-to-end link measurements at 80 cm distance show the data rates of 4 to 12 Gbps, with an error vector magnitude (EVM) in the range of 7.5 - 8.5 % for all analyzed schemes. Targeting the bit-error-rate (BER) of 10-3, and using 2 GBaud symbol rate, the estimated maximal achievable distances based on the 240 GHz chipset are 3.7 m, 1.4 m, 0.9 m, and 0.7 m for 4-QAM, 16-QAM, 32-QAM, and 64-QAM, respectively. Furthermore, the paper discusses the prospects for throughput boost, using channel combining at an intermediate frequency (IF) as well as deploying Line-of-Sight multiple-input multiple-output (LOS-MIMO). By combining 5 channels and deploying 4×4 LOS-MIMO, depending on the used modulation scheme, data rates of 80 to 240 Gbps are conceivable.","PeriodicalId":129200,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques in Wireless Communications (MTTW)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130263090","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}

Contribution of current research is system level simulation model, which demonstrates, that location aware beamforming with azimuth beam narrowing from 60° to 10° results in approximately 15-dB interference suppression for hexagonal layout with partial and full frequency reuse, which proves space division multiple access capabilities growth in spite of increasing density of neighboring stations.","PeriodicalId":129200,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques in Wireless Communications (MTTW)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121469733","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}
