Network slicing concept provides a solution to this issue by allowing different architectures to logically co-exist on the same physical infrastructure. However, there is a need to automatically and correctly provision the network slice requests (NSR) based on their types. Many NS provisioning frameworks require the network slice requests (NSRs) to be pre-classified for optimal deployment. In this paper, a support vector machine (SVM) agent is proposed to classify NSRs into one of three network slice types: enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine type communication (mMTC) and ultra-reliable and low latency communication (uRLLC). SVM has the ability to provide the most generalized classification on constructing an optimal separating hyperplane leveraging the nonlinear mapping of the input space into a higher dimensional space. The results show that accuracy has increase by up-to 4% when compared with other classification techniques.","PeriodicalId":337798,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Electrical and Computing Technologies and Applications (ICECTA)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115074573","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}

Meanwhile, fossil fuels are used exclusively for electricity production in Gulf nations. As a result, cutting down on buildings’ need for cooling may help significantly toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions targets. To determine which energy-retrofitting measures should be prioritized in a cooling-dominated setting, this study looked at how various upgrades might affect the building’s cooling load. The study’s chosen interventions include i) improving the quality of insulation on the walls, roof, and floors; i) controlling the temperature within the building; iii) recovering heat from the air circulation; and iv) upgrading the windows. The construction of the engineering school at AURAK was selected as a case study to help with this mission. A computer model was constructed in the present work and utilized for estimating the cooling load of the case study. The case study’s cooling load in the UAE under the simulated weather conditions might reduce by up to 60%, the simulations reveal.","PeriodicalId":337798,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Electrical and Computing Technologies and Applications (ICECTA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129672961","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 there have been efforts to devise alternative CDR architectures and implementation methods (digital or analog) to reduce their power/area impact, the presence of a CDR still poses significant challenges in terms of the serial link’s overall size and power consumption. Edge-Coded Signaling (ECS) is a recent CDR-less serial communication technique based on transmitting only the indices of the ON bits of data in the form of a sequence of pulses separated by an Inter-Symbol Spacing (ISS). ECS transceivers, in general, have proven to be superior in terms of size, power, and transmission reliability to CDR ones. However, in prior ECS prototypes, error-free transmission of ECS pulses with ISS less than four reference clock cycles has not been possible, effectively limiting the overall data rate. This paper proposes a modified implementation of the ECS transceiver, which relies on the same underlying principle but with improvements that allow error-free transmission with an ISS as small as one reference clock cycle, thus significantly increasing the effective data rate. An ASIC (65nm) and an FPGA implementation of the modified version show 53%, 60%, and 150% improvements in the minimum, average, and maximum data rates, respectively, at 25MHz. Moreover, the ASIC implementation shows a 4% and 25% reduction in area and power consumption, respectively, compared to the recent ECS prototypes.","PeriodicalId":337798,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Electrical and Computing Technologies and Applications (ICECTA)","volume":"133 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132439201","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}

While this technique is appropriate for clustering document-level text, it underperforms when clustering short-text fragments like sentences. This is due to compared sentences can be semantically related without any similar words or phrases. This study describes a new variation of short-text clustering method based on the idea of sentential semantic embedding vectors. These embedding vectors represent compared text using semantic and lexical information driven from a lexical knowledge database built to emulate common human knowledge about words in natural human language. On two-sentence datasets with varying degrees of word co-occurrence, we compared the technique’s performance to that of a graph-based clustering algorithm. We argued that our centroid-based method’s higher performance on datasets containing a low degree of word co-occurrence was due to its ability to utilize the available semantic information.","PeriodicalId":337798,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Electrical and Computing Technologies and Applications (ICECTA)","volume":"41 12","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114022722","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}

Common-source (CS), common-gate (CG), cascade and cascode multi-stage LNAs with and without feedback were covered in this investigation. The simulation results show that the cascode systems offer a greater stability factor at high frequency spectrum, with respect to the cascaded topology. At 6 GHz, the cascode CS-CG structure with feedback has a smaller return loss and a wider, flatter gain than a standard cascode CS-CG structure.
