In the CSA model, consumers order and pay for products in advance. Then, the producers will send packages of fresh products to consumers after a fixed period corresponding to the paid amount. However, the critical weakness of the CSA model is the lack of solutions for both sides to demonstrate the product’s quality, which makes consumers unsure about the condition of receiving products. In consequence, consumers become hesitant to order and pay money in advance. In this paper, we will propose a novel solution that allows consumers to track their products through agricultural diaries recorded by farmers every day. The key difference of the proposed solution is to leverage Blockchain technology advantages in authenticating and protecting the integrity of information. Such that, consumers could track all steps in the production process quickly and reliably. Meanwhile, producers can build and increase their enterprise branding by transferring product information transparently and responsibly.","PeriodicalId":282243,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Information and Communication Technology Convergence (ICTC)","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131562369","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 many approaches have been introduced in the last decades for identifying the modulation format of the incoming signal, they have the obstacle of mining radio characteristics for most traditional machine learning algorithms. To effectively handle this limitation, we propose an accurate modulation classification method by exploiting deep learning for being compatible with constellation diagram. A convolutional neural network (CNN), namely CRNet, is developed to proficiently learn the most relevant radio characteristics from transformed gray-scale constellation image by cross-residual connection, a novel structure for associating the intrinsic information between two processing flows specified by regular and grouped convolutional layers. Based on the experimental evaluation, CRNet achieves the classification rate of approximately 90% at +10 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) under a multipath Rayleigh fading channel and further performs more accurately than some existing deep models for constellation-based modulation classification.","PeriodicalId":282243,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Information and Communication Technology Convergence (ICTC)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131727736","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}

One strategy to improve said reliability is to duplicate the transmitted packets and then transmit the duplications over additional redundant disjoint paths. Depending on the statistical properties of the disjoint paths the window of operation can be substantially enlarged. We investigate the practical benefits of such a real-time Ethernet and extensively study the increase of the window of operation. We provide an evaluation of the application layer performance parametrized by the most important network properties: latency, jitter, and packet loss. We show that the presence of a redundant path reduces the overall latency, decreases the network jitter, and the packet loss probability is even decreased to its square what makes this setup especially appealing in high packet loss environments, e.g., WAN or WLAN.","PeriodicalId":282243,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Information and Communication Technology Convergence (ICTC)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131786432","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 current error recovery flow can cause a high latency because it performs error recovery techniques sequentially regardless of the memory status. In this paper, we propose a machine learning based error recovery flow prediction method that can select the appropriate start point of error recovery which results in minimum latency with successful decoding. In addition to finding the optimal starting point that achieves minimal latency, we carefully consider input features that can be obtained during the reading process and without additional overhead.

The more complicated the virtual learning environment and the policy network become, the more the CPU computing power in the rollout phase and the GPU computing power in the policy update phase is required. Recall that the reinforcement learning iterates the phases of acquiring data through rollout in the virtual learning environment and updating the policy from that data over millions of iterations. In this paper, the train throughput analysis is performed with RLlib and IMPALA on two different problems: CartPole, a simple problem, and Pong, a relatively complex problem. The effects of various scalability metrics, clustering, and observation dimensions on train throughput are analyzed. Throughout the analysis, we show that 1) the train throughput varies significantly according to the scalability metrics, 2) it is vital to monitor the bottleneck in the train throughput and configure the cluster accordingly, and 3) when the GPU computing power is the bottleneck, reducing the observation dimensions can be a great option as the train throughput increases up to 3 times by reducing the dimension from 84 to 42.","PeriodicalId":282243,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Information and Communication Technology Convergence (ICTC)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134506721","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}

Hence, it is essential to determine and select an appropriate TCP congestion control that fits different network conditions. In this paper, we present a performance evaluation of TCP congestion control algorithms in an emulated Wi-Fi network. More specifically, we investigate 14 TCP congestion control algorithms in the Wi-Fi network, considering the variation of queue size and packet loss.

To enable AMI over PLC, however, a suitable networking protocol is required. RPL is the IETF standard of IPv6 routing protocol for low power and lossy networks, designed mainly to support multihop wireless networking between resource constrained embedded devices. To understand the performance and potentials of RPL over PLC, this work implements a RPL-based network architecture over a multihop PLC network, and evaluates the performance of RPL over PLC through extensive real-world testbed experiments using 18 PLC devices. The result shows that the standard RPL with OF0 is not suitable for PLC network, and motivates a necessity of a new path selection algorithm.","PeriodicalId":282243,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Information and Communication Technology Convergence (ICTC)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131915266","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}
