This paper proposes a novel spectrum access control system for utilisation in dense IoT networks, which deals with the abovementioned problem by managing transmissions with interference assessment calculations conducted in a cloud platform. Initial simulation results proved high capacity of the spectrum access control system, with the only load on IoT nodes being performing API calls to the cloud system's endpoints.

Our proposed system simply uses a single Raspberry Pi and camera module stationed above a parking lot and applies deep learning techniques to identify a car and non-car object to detect vacant and non-vacant parking spots. The system delivers parking-related information to commuters through an Android app in real-time.

According to the simulated results, seven modes with a global matching bandwidth of [75–81 GHz] (S11< 10 dB) can be selected with peak gain of 6.18 dBi and good total efficiency of 78%. beam-steered directional patterns (covering 180 °) can be electronically tuned depending on the working states.

In addition, alternative Internet architectures such as Named Data Networking (NDN) are increasingly being considered, which, on the one hand, greatly simplify the programming and use of Internet applications, but on the other hand, do not come close to the comprehensive tool infrastructure of the traditional Internet. To solve both problems, this paper proposes the realization of a Smart Logging Stack (SLS) that records the activities of IoT devices and makes them available for evaluation by appropriate applications. In this way, trust in the activity of an IoT device can be significantly increased. The SLS also fits into the IoT-NDN architecture, a variant of NDN for the IoT, adding an important component to its toolbox. The concept and implementation of SLS, as well as an overview of IoT-NDN, are described in this paper. Finally, some evaluation results are presented.","PeriodicalId":261625,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Software, Telecommunications and Computer Networks (SoftCOM)","volume":"21 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124593758","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 scope of this paper is to investigate system trade-offs concerning HAPS altitude, ground IoT device transmission power, and IoT device density. A suitable ISM-band propagation model has been used for the communication from ground sensors to the HAPS. LoRa communication undergoes different phenom-ena due to shadowing effects and collisions. Different spreading factors are adopted depending on the distance from the HAPS.
