Although existing research works are promising in terms of frequency spectrum utilization, the concept of energy-awareness is missing. Nevertheless, the high energy-consumption of DRL algorithms is a serious concern, especially in battery-constrained Internet of Things (IoT) nodes. In this paper, a simple yet effective mechanism is introduced to reduce state size of the DRL algorithm, which results in reduction of energy consumption for IoT nodes. Our simulations indicate that state size can be reduced, without significant change in the system performance.","PeriodicalId":254932,"journal":{"name":"2021 29th Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125401739","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}

In most of researches, higher robustness methods have lower impeccability and vice versa. In this paper, we propose an adaptive LSB method using chaos permutation, DCT, and secret image authentication to increase both imperceptibility and robustness. Chaos permutation is a key feature in our work to improve the robustness of secret image against attacks and wiener filter deconvolution is employed to extract a clear secret image in receiver side, which has the lowest noise in comparison with the original secret image. The improvement of our proposed method have been analyzed and evaluated by different criteria such as PSNR, SSIM and Histogram plots.","PeriodicalId":254932,"journal":{"name":"2021 29th Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128349915","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}

Prioritizing emergency vehicles in transportation systems has always been one of the needs of human societies today, and this need has been partially met with the help of some tools. Due to the increasing traffic in metropolitan areas, the need for a precise system to determine these priorities is felt more than ever. To this end, efforts have been made to increase the accuracy of decisions by increasing the available sources of information. Prioritization for emergency vehicles is possible in various ways, and in the meantime, prioritization of them at intersections has been considered. In this way, emergency vehicles will experience the least amount of delay when crossing intersections. Therefore, the system continuously and intermittently collects information about the emergency vehicle and its route. Based on this information, the system selects the best possible route for the emergency vehicle and then estimates the time it takes for the vehicle to reach the first traffic light along the route, determining the duration of each of those traffic lights.","PeriodicalId":254932,"journal":{"name":"2021 29th Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124678509","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}
