IEEE 802.1 AVB defined Stream Reservation Classes (SR-Class) for forwarding and queuing of AVB traffic. The standards recommended using two SR-Classes. However, vehicle industry decided to use only one SR-Class in in-car network. In this paper, we use the network simulation tool OMNeT++ to simulate a real in-car network design and traffic model. Through simulations we confirm that using one SR-Class meets the AVB traffic requirements and it has several advantages.","PeriodicalId":225244,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th Malaysia International Conference on Communications (MICC)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123023717","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}

By learning data from several mobile sensors, we detect nearness of the human body to a mobile device in a three-dimensional space with no physical contact with the device for non-invasive health diagnostics. We show that the human body generates wave patterns that interact with other naturally occurring ambient signals that could be measured by mobile sensors, such as, temperature, humidity, magnetic field, acceleration, gravity, and light. This interaction consequentially alters the patterns of the naturally occurring signals, and thus, exhibits characteristics that could be learned to predict the nearness of the human body to a mobile device, hence provide diagnostic information for medical practitioners. Our prediction technique achieved 88.75% accuracy and 88.3% specificity.","PeriodicalId":225244,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th Malaysia International Conference on Communications (MICC)","volume":"873 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123025531","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}

Research on acoustic channel has conducted from decades but that focused mostly on issues related to physical layer such as high latency, low bandwidth and high bit error. However, research on routing layer in UWSN is still in its infant stage and in need of a standard operational protocol. Due to unique nature of acoustic communication we cannot directly implement protocols defined for terrestrial sensor network or MANET. However, different researchers put their efforts to define a standard operational protocol for UWSN but most of these protocols follow OSI layer structure, which were proposed for wired Network and does not suit well acoustic environment. Our proposed routing protocol uses generic MAC protocol and aims to improve network lifetime by evenly distributing residual energy of nodes and by finding most suitable and economical routing path for data transmission. REEP uses ToA (Time of Arrival) to find node distance to its respective sink and utilizes this information to find best available routing path. We use NS2 based simulator, Aquasim to simulate and compare performance of REEP with a well known pre-existing UWSN routing protocol, DBR (Depth Based Routing). Simulation results show that REEP out-perform DBR by energy efficiency, extending network life time and by reducing end to end delay.","PeriodicalId":225244,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th Malaysia International Conference on Communications (MICC)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122001481","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 modifications of the open source drivers (ath5k and ath9k) to enable real-time and per-packet beamswitching are discussed. Such modifications enable: i) the ability to identify and assign the specific directional beam to be used during communication with the neighbor station; as well as ii) the activation of the appropriate beam for the corresponding receiver station as part of setting up of the transmit descriptors. The approach does not alter the basic IEEE802.11 MAC protocol, but facilitates for real-time and per-packet beamswitching during every transmission. The efficiency of the suggested approach was validated through implementation and experimental tests, and 2-3 times improvements in network performance measures such as throughput and latency were observed.","PeriodicalId":225244,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th Malaysia International Conference on Communications (MICC)","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126711566","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}

Although the network-based PMIPv6 protocol is considered the favorable solution to solve the problems of host-based MIP protocol, these protocols are based on centralized mobility management CMM scheme. Current mobility solutions posing several challenges due to heavily centralized architecture. Furthermore, the future 5G networks are based on flat infrastructures to reduce the load in the network core. The distributed mobility management DMM scheme is introduced recently to overcome the problems of CMM. Additionally, to maintain the heterogeneity of future wireless networks, IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover (MIH) framework identifies the structure and services to provide seamless handover in heterogeneous networks. In this paper, we develop an efficient network-based fully DMM scheme based on the cross layer design of layer 2 MIH and layer 3 PMIPv6 protocols. The proposed approach removes any central anchor node in the network infrastructure and also eliminates any layer 2 and layer 3 signaling between the mobile node and the access networks. The numerical evaluation shows that the efficient approach gives enhance handover performance in terms of signaling cost, handover latency, and packet loss.","PeriodicalId":225244,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th Malaysia International Conference on Communications (MICC)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121560420","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 detection accuracy of a cognitive radio network (CRN) improves through using a cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) scheme. However, increasing the number of SU necessitates a growth in the cooperation overhead of the system leading to degradation the throughput of the CRN. Multi stage-cross entropy (MSCE) optimization algorithm has been proposed to optimize the trade-off between global probability of detection at fusion center (FC) and achievable throughput in cooperative CRNs, and then compared the results with genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms. The proposed approach is based on cross entropy (CE) optimization method. A bi-objective (BO) function have been formulated for static PU signal state scenarios. Numerical results show that the MSCE performance is superior in terms of achievable PU detection rate when compared with GA, PSO and hard decision combining (HDC) rules. Additionally, the BO-MSCE optimization system based-HDC rules achieve a best fitness score higher than that of the GA and PSO for the OR, AND, and Majority rules, respectively.","PeriodicalId":225244,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 12th Malaysia International Conference on Communications (MICC)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127792696","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}

Furthermore, the U-shaped inductive feeder consisted of two opposing symmetrical U-shaped structures to feed the top radiator of the antenna. The size of the antenna was 97.5 × 50 × 1.5 mm̂3 at 915 MHz. As a result, the peak gain for the antenna reached up to 5 dBi at 915 MHz.
