The sensor exhibits a maximum sensitivity of 37900 nm/RIU in wavelength interrogation and a wavelength resolution of 2.64×10−6 RIU in the sensing range of 1.36–1.42, which is a suitable range for biosensing applications, such as cancer detection.

The proposed 3-mm-long inversely tapered shaped waveguide is optimized numerically adopting the parabolic tapering approach. Structurally, the waveguide is comprised of silicon nitride (Si3N4) as core material and silica (SiO2) for upper and lower claddings. The proposed structure is tuned for pumping only in the anomalous group-velocity dispersion regime through varying waveguide width along the pulse propagation direction. The predicted SC spectra between the proposed design with the designs which have no tapering at all (typical uniform waveguide) in terms of MIR expansion and spectral flatness is compared. Simulation results show a good spectral flatness throughout the spectral region covered apart from broadband spectral bandwidth predicted in the MIR.

Due to the challenging IoUT environment, medium access control (MAC) protocols designed for traditional terrestrial networks cannot perform effectively in IoUT networks. Long propagation delay, high channel fading and limited bandwidth refrain radio waves to underwater usage. To overcome these limitations, acoustic waves are preferred. Moreover, a sensor has limited energy and battery replacement is not easy under water. Hence, retransmission and multiple transmission concept-based MAC protocols designed for IoUT networks are found energy inefficient due to suffering from higher transmission delay, lower bandwidth utilization and longer duty cycle. In this paper, we propose an Energy-Efficient Receiver-Initiated Cooperative (E2RIC) MAC Protocol for IoUT Networks where the data receiver is an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). To ensure energy efficiency, communication reliability and higher sensor lifetime, the AUV selects an optimal cooperator/relay for each of the sender nodes to perform cooperative data communication by eliminating retransmission and multiple transmission concepts. In comparison to the state-of-the-art MAC schemes, the proposed E2RIC-MAC protocol exhibits considerable improvements in terms of energy consumption, overall network throughput, and end-to-end latency.","PeriodicalId":328336,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Telecommunications and Photonics (ICTP)","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126231238","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}

This paper considers the problem of improving the delay and power consumption performance in DA-based uplink M2M communication systems. For this purpose, we propose an algorithm for balancing the number of machines (MCs) associated with the aggregators (AGs), taking into account the energy consumption of the MCs. We assume that the MCs use a carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) medium access control (MAC) protocol to transmit traffic to its AG, and the AGs use different channels. By simulation results, we demonstrate that the proposed method significantly reduces the average delay and the energy consumption per packet compared to the signal-to-noise ratio-based AG selection method. Furthermore, we find that the allowable traffic arrival rate per MC can be significantly increased under the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":328336,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Telecommunications and Photonics (ICTP)","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133973846","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}

Superdense coding is a very popular protocol or scheme for quantum communication, which uses entangled qubits. Entangled qubits can also be used to share information using an ALOHA based protocol. Performance evaluation of these protocols is essential for their implementation in quantum communication. In this paper, we calculate the bit error rates (BERs) of these two entanglement-based quantum communication schemes. It has been noticed that the BER performance is improved in an ALOHA based scheme compared to the Superdense coding scheme. However, without using any error correction schemes, the BERs are still very high in both the cases compared to the classical communication methods. The BER performance can be further improved by using the appropriate error correction schemes, which are under investigation.","PeriodicalId":328336,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Telecommunications and Photonics (ICTP)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121617982","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}

Moreover, the vaccines are not meant to slow down the speed of the virus, rather it is meant to prevent severe cases and fatalities. Therefore, it is extremely important to minimize the rate of spreading, especially in the case of new variants. The spread can be minimized by wearing mask in densely populated areas, making public places disinfected and also isolating infected persons from the rest as soon as possible. Therefore, in this research, a system is designed to automatically check for people without wearing masks, disinfect surfaces and also it can successfully identify infected people as early as possible with an accuracy of up to 69% cases. Even when the system is not certain that the person is infected, it still provides a precautionary warning that the person might be infected.
