The aim of this paper is to look at multi-scaling properties obtained by multi-scale analysis (MSA) as main distinctive features to simultaneously distinguish between all categories of EEG signals that compose the popular database hosted by the department of epileptology, University of Bonn, Germany. Particularly, multi-scale analysis is employed to capture long-range properties of the EEG signal at different scales used to represent its short and long variations. Then, the obtained multi-scale properties are used to train four different classifiers; namely, k-nearest neighbor (k-NN), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), naïve Bayes (NB), and the support vector machine (SVM). Experimental results based on ten-fold cross-validation method show that each single classifier achieves 100% accuracy. In this respect, multi-scale properties are found to be effective as they outperformed existing works on the same database by achieving perfect accuracy to distinguish between all five distinct EEG categories. Overall, the obtained results are promising.","PeriodicalId":296506,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (CCECE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129289449","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}

Indeed, wireless connectivity is the most critical success factor for the IoT era. Recently, the cellular technologies focused on introducing new releases, like LTE Cat-M1, to provide global coverage and mobility for the IoT applications. However, the cellular spectrum is already congested, and adding new services will defiant the existing ones. Herein, the network key performance indicator (KPI) should be considered to enhance the resource management for LTE and LTE CAT M1 users. Tackling the coexistence between the aforementioned in the 1.4 Mhz band, three coexistence optimization problems are formulated. The first and the second coexistence optimization problems are formulated assuming higher IoT-traffic priority, and higher LTE-traffic priority, respectively. On the other hand, the third problem is formulated assuming that both the IoT-traffic and the LTE-traffic have the same priority. Afterward, a scheduling optimization solution algorithm is proposed using the interior point method. Finally, the performance of the proposed scheduling algorithm is evaluated via numerical analysis.","PeriodicalId":296506,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (CCECE)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124210944","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 proposed multistage predictive modeling framework incorporates the orthogonal least squares (OLS) learning and multi-criteria decision-making approach for selecting inputs and model structures in a computationally efficient manner while optimizing multiple objectives.

The Secondary Users (SUs) can opportunistically utilize any available spectrum when the Primary Users (PUs) are inactive. Some of the challenges of CRN include the service interruption loss, complexity of processing and exchange of large amount of data, limited available memory to SUs and the non-real-time exchange of spectrum sensing data. These challenges can lead to significant degradation in the performance of a CRN. Therefore, there is a need to seek solutions that will alleviate these problems. The Cloud system incorporated with Big Data Analytics algorithm can be a potential solution. In this paper, we propose a Cloud-based Cooperative Spectrum Sensing model for CRN that allows the SUs to aggregate their individual spectrum sensing data into a cloud environment, where it can be analyzed using a proposed expanded Apache Spark algorithm incorporated with the hybridization of three machine learning methods-ensemble classifier approach that can effectively and efficiently analyze the spectrum sensing data for easy access, real-time analysis, deep insight and on-demand decision support for the SUs. In addition, the two-layer Fusion Center design proposed introduces redundancy by using the cloud as a secondary Fusion Center while still maintaining a primary land-based Fusion Center.","PeriodicalId":296506,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (CCECE)","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133886119","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}

NOMA offers a number of advantages including better spectrum efficiency. This paper focuses primarily on proposing an energy efficient system for transmitting medical data, such as electroencephalogram (EEG), collected from patients for the sake of continuous monitoring. The framework proposes the use of deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to provide smart data compression in uplink-NOMA protocol. DRL enforces the data compression ratios for the nodes in order to avoid outage constraints at any sensor node. Jointly, it optimizes the power consumption of these sensor nodes. The data compression for such sensor network is vital in order to minimize the power every sensor consumes to maximize its service lifetime. We minimize the expected distortion under practical channel realization and outage probability constraints using NOMA-uplink protocol. Meanwhile, we optimize the power efficiency of the user node in order to increase the battery lifetime.","PeriodicalId":296506,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (CCECE)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128924435","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}
