The atmospheric effects on signal propagation in terms of molecular absorption by oxygen and water molecules are calculated and normalized. Channel impulse responses (CIRs) are acquired for the LoS scenario for different antenna separation distances. From the CIRs the Power Delay Profile (PDP) is presented where multiple delay taps can be observed caused due to group delay products and reflections from the measurement bench.","PeriodicalId":163493,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on UK-China Emerging Technologies (UCET)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129987952","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}

With this improvement, M-MIMO-ANM creates an availability to convey more bits without any usage of bandwidth, while there is a noticeable improvement in the reliability of data transmission. With all these dynamics, M-MIMO-ANM concept is a candidate to create a new perspective to the Internet of Things (IoT) applications, with its energy efficient, spectrum efficient, robust, and both data and channel dependent data transmission nature that comes from ANM. The concept of M-MIMO-ANM is tested by using Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) symbol modulation over a Rayleigh fading channel. The validity of the system is investigated by numerical simulations and analytical calculations. As a result of the acquired throughput, it can be said that M-MIMO-ANM is promising a highly reliable and resilient system thanks to its cascaded simultaneous bit transmission by its different number of antenna blocks and antenna elements.","PeriodicalId":163493,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on UK-China Emerging Technologies (UCET)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124048310","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 continuously generated data from the various sensors are collected and stored, this is also known as a data stream. However, the non-stationary phenomenon in data stream, concept drift, is important to be detected immediately for the operation of the IoT system. Therefore, the detection method for concept drift is needed to alert the requirement to maintain or replace some components in advance, so as to avoid or mitigate the risk of malfunction of the IoT system. The majority of existing literature focuses on concept drift detection on binary classification. To fill this gap, here we propose an algorithm to detect multi-class. Moreover to improve the performance of detection, we also introduce an algorithm which integrates the existing error rate which is widely used with our newly proposed False Positive rate. The new method is called Drift Detection Method with False Positive rate for multi-label classification (DDM-FP-M). The DDM-FP-M firstly defines the false positive rate calculation method in multi-label classification, then integrates it with Drift Detection method with False positive rate (DDM-FP). The performance of the proposed method is evaluated through Intel Lab data and is found to outperform the Drift Detection method(DDM) over 50% cases.","PeriodicalId":163493,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on UK-China Emerging Technologies (UCET)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128927071","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}
