Still they have not achieved wide-spread acceptance in this regard. One of the major roadblocks for FPGAs is the implementation of complex mathematical functions encountered in neural networks. Exact implementation of these functions consume large number of resources. In this paper we discuss an FPGA-based neural network prototyping platform and the approximate implementation of a probabilistic neural network (PNN) on a Xilinx 7-Series FPGA. The complex mathematical functions as replaced by approximations. Analysis shows that hardware performance is much higher than that of software counter parts and the error induced due to approximations is within tolerable limit.","PeriodicalId":250788,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Computing and Network Communications (CoCoNet)","volume":"61 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127388556","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}

Numerous studies indicated that it can achieve high data rate (on the order of Gbps) over tens of meters of communication link. Multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) systems have a potential to provide high capacity, interference suppression and space division multiple access. In this paper the performance of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based MU-MIMO system for underwater visible light communication (VLC) is investigated. It is worth to note that MU-MIMO OFDM has been applied for indoor optical communication, however, to the best of our knowledge, it has not been studied for underwater environment yet. The system is considered to be $2mathrm {x}2$ and the channel gain for each path is calculated with the closed-form expression for weighted double gamma function (WDGF). Zero-forcing precoding scheme is implemented to eliminate multiuser interference.","PeriodicalId":250788,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Computing and Network Communications (CoCoNet)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132649815","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 preliminary simulation results show that the application of memristors in CMOS InAmp design has led to the reduction of on-chip area and power consumption, comparing to the original CMOS InAmp design. The simulations are performed using ideal long-channel CMOS transistor model to prove the design concept. We demonstrate the possibility to improve InAmp gain using memristive devices in the design. Furthermore, variability analysis and InAmp performance with respect to the temperature variation is provided, demonstrating the improvement of InAmp operation in a large temperature range.

OFDM with index modulation (OFDM-IM) transmits additional information using combination information for determining the position of the used subcarriers, and provides a trade-off control function between performance and transmission efficiency. However, as OFDM-IM uses combinatorial operations, the amount of computation to be processed in transmission and reception increases as the number of subcarriers increases. In this paper, we propose a method to directly map data to indexes of subcarriers to solve this problem. In order to improve performance and transmission efficiency, we only encode data mapped to indexes of subcarriers. Simulation results show that the proposed system using dual-mode (DM) can improve bit error rate (BER) performance and transmission efficiency compared to conventional OFDM system in multipath fading channel environment.","PeriodicalId":250788,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Computing and Network Communications (CoCoNet)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123193988","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}

When TCP is deployed in a broad data center environment, it fails to maintain high throughput and deadline guarantees, mainly due to the unfair sharing and flow quenching. Several transport layer designs have been proposed over the last few years: some of them were claimed to outperform the currently used ones. This paper provides an analysis of some of the transport-layer protocols, namely D3 Deadline Driven Delivery), PDQ (Preemptive Distributed Quick), D2 TCP (Deadline-aware Data Center TCP), DCTCP (Data Center TCP) and MCP (Multiflow Conversation Protocol). The analysis includes the evaluation of their design implementation, performance and problems. The FCFS mechanisms at the heart of the D3 forces the protocol to be tied to the arrival order of the flows, which leads to the priority inversion issue resulting in flows unjustifiably missing their deadlines. The PDQ protocol has been described as a mechanism for a flow urgency regulation which emulates the EDF behavior. While PDQ has improved upon D3, it was pointed out that the management of priority lists and per-flow states in this line of protocols puts a great burden on the network core, thus restricting the efficient router’s bandwidth. Motivated by DTCP, D2 TCP and MCP utilize congestion window modeling at the end hosts to handle the deadline flows ensuring network stability and deadline meeting guarantees. Also, deployability problem is likely to be solved by recent advances of SDN introducing a centralized control over networks.","PeriodicalId":250788,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Computing and Network Communications (CoCoNet)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115402254","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 main aim is to observe the effects of connecting memristors of MS model to the passive components of Legendre filter. The results have been obtained by making simulations in LTspice software, which provide the information about magnitude frequency response, group delay and phase of the original and proposed models. One of memristive models has been implemented by connecting three memristors to the last three elements of a five-pole L filter. The second proposed model was constructed by inserting memristors after second and fifth components of the original circuit. Consequently, the ripple factor has been reduced and group delay variation has been narrowed. Also cutoff has been sharpened, phase response and transition have become smoother. These outcomes demonstrate that memristors introduced significant enhancement to the Optimum Legendre Low-Pass Filter and can find its applicability in analog and microwave circuit design.","PeriodicalId":250788,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Computing and Network Communications (CoCoNet)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114725561","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}
