Specifications of the protocol including the packet format and the contention avoidance methods are described. The protocol is implemented on a hardware platform and the performance is considered for a fundamental operation. The results show that non-overlapping regions exist for different transmission power levels where the system performance is optimum. More importantly, these regions move farther from the node with increase in transmission power level. It is observed that reconfiguring transmission power levels is an effective way of saving energy in Wireless Sensor Networks, the operation of which is abstracted by the implementation of the Adaptive Transmission Power Protocol.","PeriodicalId":302718,"journal":{"name":"2015 Twenty First National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122494595","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}

VOB groups the flows into clusters and coordinates their packets within each cluster in order to minimize the packet collision in the network. We theoretically study the multiplexing (grouping) of packets of flows in a VOB, by modeling a VOB node, in a VOB network, as a queuing system. We derive the expression for the packet loss rate due to inter-VOB collisions, and compare the performance (packet loss rate) of VOB with that of Optical Burst Switching (OBS). We show that the packet loss rate for VOB is upper bounded by the packet/burst loss rate of OBS.","PeriodicalId":302718,"journal":{"name":"2015 Twenty First National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"1073 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116294509","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}

We adopt the subcarrier intensity modulation (SIM) technique for transmission of the binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulated data over an optical link. For the considered DF-FSO cooperative system, we derive a maximum-likelihood (ML) decoder and a sub-optimal piecewise linear (PL) decoder in the destination of the system. The proposed PL decoder performs very close to the ML decoder with a significant reduction in the decoding complexity. Both the ML and the PL decoders incorporate the possibility of erroneous transmission by the DF relay and require the average statistics of the source-relay link for decoding the data of the source in the destination. Moreover, we also derive the closed-form expression for the average bit error rate (BER) of the proposed PL decoder.","PeriodicalId":302718,"journal":{"name":"2015 Twenty First National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126690121","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}

Artists, however, incorporate considerable creative variation within a raga phrase during performance while still preserving its identity in the ears of the listeners. It is of interest therefore to explore the boundaries of this categorization of phrase identity, given the space of musical variations in the tonal interval and duration dimensions. Such an endeavor can help better model musical similarity for music retrieval and pedagogy applications. In this work, we carry out melodic shape manipulations on a selected prominent phrase of raga Deshkar to study the subjective responses of musicians in comparison with non-musicians in terms of perceived discrimination of the controlled variations. A method is presented for deriving musically consistent synthetic stimuli for listening. Subjective responses on the discrimination and identification tasks are presented along with a discussion on possible perceptual mechanisms at play.","PeriodicalId":302718,"journal":{"name":"2015 Twenty First National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130308132","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}

Simulation results verify that there exists optimal power sharing factors both for sensing and data transmission slots to maximize the system throughput.

In this paper, we present Haptics over Internet Protocol (HoIP) - a low latency application layer protocol that enables haptic, audio and video data transmission over a network between two remotely connected nodes. The evaluation of the protocol is carried out through a set of three experiments, each with distinct objectives. First, a haptic-audio-visual (HAV) interactive application, involving two remotely located human personnel communicating via haptic, auditory and visual media, to evaluate the Quality of Service (QoS) violation due to the protocol. Second, a haptic sawing experiment with the goal of assessing the impact of HoIP and network delays in telehaptics applications, by taking the example of a typical telesurgical activity. Third, a telepottery system to determine the protocol's ability in reproducing a real-time interactive user experience with a remote virtual object, in presence of perceptual data compression and reconstruction techniques. Our experiments reveal that the transmission scheduling of multimedia packets performs well in terms of maintaining the latencies well under the QoS thresholds.","PeriodicalId":302718,"journal":{"name":"2015 Twenty First National Conference on Communications (NCC)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117052285","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}

Using an analytical pattern for the tri-mode feed and physical optics (PO) for computation of far field, mode coefficients and relative phases are estimated using particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique. Through a parametric study in HFSS, matched feed dimensions to achieve required mode coefficients and phases at the design frequency are determined. HFSS is used to evaluate the performance of the matched feed in terms of cross-polarization and beam squinting.
