Radio signal cannot properly propagate in underwater, so there is need, such type of acoustic modem technology that can supports better data rates and reliable underwater wireless communications. Further, nodes mobility, 3-D spaces brings some critical challenges for the researcher to design new routing protocol for UWSNs, to handle the issues like high end to end delays, Propagation delay, as well as power constraints of the sensor nodes. Many routing algorithms have been proposed in last two decades and some of them provide better solution to handle such type of issues. In this paper, we proposed a novel routing protocol called Layer by layer Angle Based Flooding (L2-ABF.), to address the problem node swaying issue, end-to-end delays, and node energy consumption. In L2-ABF, every node can calculate its flooding angle to forward data packet to the next upper layer toward the surface sinks without using any explicit configuration and location information. The simulation results show that L2-ABF has some advantages over some existing flooding base techniques and can easily manage quick routing changes where node movements are frequent.","PeriodicalId":334455,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Symposium on Telecommunication Technologies","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125023022","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}

In short, network coding is a method that improves the throughput for wireless networks and wired networks. However, while it increases the throughput of networks, it also causes side effects such as complexity of packets management and increased delay for coding opportunity. In this paper, genetic algorithm is proposed to optimize the resources for network coding. Genetic algorithm will search for suitable routes to the destination according to the desired throughput with a desired multicast rate. The simulation results show that the average end to end delay of network after minimizing coding nodes is less than normal network coding.","PeriodicalId":334455,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Symposium on Telecommunication Technologies","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128431087","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 channel selection scheme leverages on the strength of both Dedicated Control Channel and Hopping schemes by implementing a simple weighting scheme and maximizing the use of idle listening periods.

In the process, WRAN, which exhibits extended coverage range, increased cell capacity and utilises idle TV spectrum and saves on deployment costs, was identified as a suitable broadband access candidate for providing connectivity to the rural areas of Zimbabwe. A design network structure is proposed and a basic CR simulation in MATLAB, and employing, power spectrum density estimation model for sensing, to show the possibility of harnessing idle Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) TV channels using CR technology is successfully run.

In fact, most of the existing tools are text-based and there is a lack of effective user friendly interface that can facilitate detection of botnet traffic in large datasets. Moreover, most of these tools are based on reactive approaches and will be triggered only after an attack is detected. Therefore, enhancement of botnet traffic detection is highly demanded. Knowledge discovery through information visualization is an avenue to solve these issues effectively. The aim of this research is to propose a proactive approach by adopting proper visualization techniques to increase the visibility of network traffic related to invariant bot behavior and botnet activities. The visualization techniques used in this research consist of graphs, scatter plots, and histograms. These visualization techniques are easy to interpret and good for visualizing large datasets. By adopting these techniques for invariant bot behavior visualization, it is possible to provide visual notification of bot existence in a network without distracting the user with huge volumes of data. In fact, the visual illustration of typical bot behavior improves the botnet traffic detection process by engaging human perception and intellectual capabilities. Overall, this visual approach can assist the security personnel to proactively detect invariant bot behaviors and botnet activities during the benign state of a botnet by providing a graphical user friendly interface. Exploiting the visual information, human analysts and security personnel will be able to gain more insights into their networks, leading to make correct decisions in critical situations and to prevent catastrophic botnet attacks.","PeriodicalId":334455,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Symposium on Telecommunication Technologies","volume":"334 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115529504","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}
